Game of Thrones revolutionized the television industry with its massive budget, which significantly contributed to its success and impact. The older seasons had a budget of about $6 million per episode, subject to rising to around $15 million per episode for later seasons. The extravagant budgets allowed for massive amounts of set design, costume design, special effects, and filming in various locations. The net effect of financing the show helped deliver a theatrical experience to the viewer's living room and set a new paradigm for television production, encouraging other series to follow suit and invest heavily towards quality.
