Apple has a lot of faith in its new video streaming service and is therefore not afraid to spend. The series The Morning Show, which will be exclusive only on Apple TV+, will now be quite expensive.

The Morning Show is an original series written for Apple TV+. She discusses the life of morning interview presenters, behind-the-scenes shenanigans and everything that goes with it. It is already clear that the entire series will cost more than the popular HBO series Game of Thrones.

Apple jumped onto the bandwagon in style and invited famous names. Starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, as well as Golden Globe winner Steve Carell. While the actor's salary is not known, the actresses will each receive $1,25 million in royalties. For one filmed episode.

The total price of the series thus climbs to incredible heights. Thanks to production and other costs, each episode will cost over 15 million dollars. This is more than the most expensive episodes of Game of Thrones, where there were tens to hundreds of extras and special effects, costumes and other costs also cost considerable money. In addition, the fees of the Game of Thrones actors ranged from "more modest" amounts, reaching around 500 dollars.

$15 million per episode isn't much in Apple's budget

According to the Financial Times server, Apple is not worried about it yet. He has released a budget of over $6 billion for the entire Apple TV+ service. The management of the company is aware that it is entering a highly competitive market, so it must first of all impress the audience. The question is, however, whether own production full of top stars is the right way.

 

Competition in the form of Netflix, HBO GO, Hulu, Disney+ and others does not rely only on its own content. It also offers many other films and series, often with exclusive footage or other bonuses. At Apple, we still don't know if the entire collection of movies in iTunes will be part of the offer.

In addition, Apple TV+ is set to cost $9,99 per month in the US and offer content storage for offline viewing. It will be possible to run the service from multiple devices at the same time, but the exact limitations are unknown. Apple TV+ is scheduled to be released this November.
