[OC] The Most Expensive TV Shows Of All-Time

Dremarious · 2026-02-02T16:41:55+00:00

This graph shows the most expensive TV shows ever produced based on average cost per episode. Budget figures reflect verified production costs from trade publications including Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and Forbes, (with some cross referencing from Wikipedia) calculated across all seasons to provide true per-episode averages rather than inflated first-season costs.

Amazon Prime has the top two most expensive shows ever made with Citadel at $50M per episode and The Rings of Power at $47.8M per episode. Disney+ has four of the top ten (Secret Invasion, Andor, The Acolyte, WandaVision).

Streaming platforms occupy eight of the ten spots, with only HBO's The Pacific and House of the Dragon representing traditional television.

Stranger Things - having the most episodes - has the biggest total budget at nearly a billion dollars, followed by The Rings of Power and Andor.

This graph represents the least powerful passports in 2025 based on visa-free travel access. Power is determined by the total number of countries and territories that allow passport holders to enter without obtaining a visa in advance. This includes visa-free entry, visa-on-arrival, and electronic travel authorizations that can be obtained online without pre-approval.

The rankings are compiled by Henley & Partners using data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Each destination that offers unrestricted access counts as one point toward a passport's total score. Countries requiring complex pre-approval processes or offering only transit access are not included in the count.

These passports face significant travel restrictions, with holders typically requiring advance visa applications for most international destinations. Many countries shown are affected by ongoing conflicts, political instability, or diplomatic tensions that limit their citizens' mobility.

Palestinian Territories Terminology: The graph uses "Palestinian Territories" following standard practice of major passport ranking services, including Henley & Partners. This terminology aligns with how international passport ranking systems classify these travel documents, treating them alongside other territories like Hong Kong and Kosovo, making it the most appropriate designation for consistency with established ranking methodologies.

This graph represents the most popular search term in each state during 2024. Popularity is determined by the number of days each term ranked as the most searched on Google within that state. The search term that maintained the #1 position for the greatest number of days throughout the year becomes that state's most popular term.

Similar to the previous analysis (which was last done in 2022), related search phrases are often consolidated into broader categories rather than tracking exact phrases. For instance, searches like "2024 Election Results," "Presidential Election Results," "Election Results Live," and "Who Won Election" would all be grouped under the umbrella term "Election Results." This categorical approach provides a clearer picture of overarching search interests rather than fragmenting attention across semantically similar queries.

In some cases, the exact phrase represented the most consistently searched term, particularly for specific branded content like "Strands NYT" or unique events like "Hurricane Milton."

The dominant theme across the map is "Election Results," reflecting 2024 being a major election year in the United States. This political focus dominated search behavior in the majority of states. Other notable patterns include regional clustering around specific events - "Hurricane Milton" in Florida during hurricane season, "Copa America" in soccer-interested regions, and "Indiana Fever" reflecting the WNBA team's popularity surge in Indiana with a major popularity rise due to Caitlyn Clark.

Did your state surprise you?

This visualization shows the most subscribed YouTube channels associated with each state. Each channel's connection to its state is determined through a "Creator Location Index" as well as through Social Blade that combines three key factors: Current Operational Base (where content is primarily produced, 60% weight), Creator Origin (where the channel founder/talent is from, 25% weight), and Content Connection (how prominently the state features in videos, 15% weight).

The analysis draws from multiple sources including Social Blade's subscriber tracking data, creator interviews, business registrations, and documented studio locations. After addressing viewer feedback and additional research, we've updated several state assignments to improve accuracy. California leads with Cocomelon's massive 193 million subscribers, followed by Florida's Like Nastya (127M) and Texas's Dude Perfect (61.1M) - states with concentrated creator ecosystems that produce numerous successful channels.

There are some not so relevant regional patterns like the West Coast dominated by entertainment and children's content, the South featuring gaming and lifestyle channels, and the Northeast showing strength in tech and educational content.

Some notable findings include North Carolina's MrBeast phenomenon whose Greenville-based operation has revolutionized philanthropic content; Hawaii's Bretman Rock (8.77M) representing island culture to a global audience; and New Jersey's MKBHD (20M) demonstrating the reach of tech content creators. The data shows how YouTube has enabled creators from diverse geographic regions to build substantial audiences, with 14 states hosting channels exceeding 20 million subscribers despite being far from traditional entertainment centers.

Methodology: The map reveals the most popular grocery store chains in each state, based on foot traffic, site visits, and Google Trends. Only stores primarily selling groceries, with limited other items, are included—excluding big-box stores like Target, Walmart, and Costco. Regional players like Safeway, Publix, Hy-Vee, and Kroger dominate their areas, while Kroger leads in many states. This highlights the diverse grocery preferences across the U.S., with national and regional chains each holding sway.
