One episode of Game of Thrones costs $6m to produce and 9 other things you didn’t know about the series



As Game of Thrones fans await the season six premier of the show, here are a few things you never knew about the show. According to International Business Times, it costs $6m to produce one episode of the show. The show has been expensive from the beginning, with the pilot costing more than $10 million and the first-season budget reaching a staggering $60 million. While “Game of Thrones” is not the most expensive show ever on television, or even HBO (HBO’s “Rome” averaged $10 million per episode before being cancelled after one season), it is indisputably burning through a lot of money, enough to be considered the third most expensive show of all time.

·         Most of the prostitutes who act nude on the show are actually porn stars
·         It is the most pirated show in the world
·         The show is taped in Morocco, Ireland, Northern Island and Croatia
·         It has brought more than $100m to the Irish economy
·         Sansa Stark has adopted her own wolf
·         There are an average of 4 and a half murders per episode
·         The Dothraki language was created for the show and may be adapted in real life

·         The names Arya, Theon and Sansa have been given to hundreds of new born babies since the show began
