HBO isn’t all about ratings. John Oliver, Bill Mahr etc. have niche audiences also have low budgets. But, if HBO spends $100 million on a series season, it had better attract new subscribers.
NetFlix spent $200 million on two series, Chicago and Marco Polo and they flopped.
Amazon is spending $1 BILLION on 5 seasons of LOTR.
The stakes and money is going to get higher and higher as everyone chases the next GOT.
