I don't know what the f*ck is going on at Disney, but this is nuts
I love Andor, don't get me wrong, but no tv show makes business sense at that price.

That has to be Hollywood math, right? Andor doesn't even have a bunch of CGI, which is how they usually justify insanely inflated budgets.

I’m just glad we are getting season 2.

They could carry on the concept for a season 3 and follow a new set of characters in the same timeline. Just not sure it will happen.

Creators have gone on record that season two is four, three-episode mini arcs, with a time jump between each one, the last one dovetails right into the beginning of Rogue One, so no season three.

But over $645M for streaming tv series for that? Wouldn’t they be better off releasing as films to recoup some of those losses?

It’s really strange but after experiencing modern media my reaction is…who cares? Make it Studios and maybe I’ll watch it and maybe I won’t… Sucks to be you…

I was answering about the prospect of a third season, not commenting on how much the show cost.

However, on the topic of cost, read some other articles, and the $645M is the total for both seasons. So while expensive, they spent more on season one than season two so far. Roughly $354M for season one, and 291M for season two, additionally they get a roughly 25% reimbursement from the UK government for filming most of the show in the UK.

I am guessing there’s a cost per viewer threshold they had to meet with season one to get season two (see Acolyte….similar cost to Andor, but we know what happened there)
