The Final Season Of 'game Of Thrones' Will Cost $15 Million Per Episode by DrGaius(m): 9:06pm On Dec 22, 2017
As if Game of Thrones weren’t already anxiously awaiting the final season of the popular fantasy TV franchise, now it’s being reported that HBO will be spending a massive amount on each of the six remaining episodes.

The series, which only just wrapped its record- setting seventh season, will return at some point in either 2018 or 2019 for what will be its final run. It’s already well-known that the final season of Game of Thrones will be shorter, at just six episodes, and that each of those episodes could have a much longer run time than that of a typical 60-minute drama.

According to a new Varietyreport, each of those final episodes should be jam-packed with action, and high production quality, as HBO is set to spend a whopping $15 million on each installment.

Part of the reason for that huge price tag is the fact that the episodes will run longer than usual (though, the show’s seventh-season finale clocked in at almost 80 minutes). But, as anyone who follows the plot of Game of Thrones could guess, the final six episodes are also likely to feature an inordinate amount of epic battle scenes that will require their fair share of large-scale set pieces and computer graphics ( CGI dragons aren’t cheap).

So, it’s no surprise that Game of Thrones will go out with a bang, financially, with HBO willing to spend well above the $10 million price tag that the series’ most recent episodes reportedly included.

What you need to know about Daenery's dragons:
* Sha has three dragons
* Drogon is one of the three dragons born in the Dothraki Sea. He is named after Daenerys's late husband Khal Drogo. He can be distinguished by his black and red colored scales, and red-black wings. He is also Daenerys's personal mount. He is by far the biggest, strongest and most aggressive. Remember Drogo promised to conquer the world for her, Drogons would probably win the battle for her.

* Rhaegal is named after Daenerys Targaryen's eldest brother, Rhaegar, who happen to be Jon Snow's father. He can be distinguished by his green and bronze colored scales, and his yellow-orange colored wings.

Rhaegar was killed on the green bank of a river, hence his name being given to a green dragon. To me, Rhaegal is nice and an intellect. The kind of dragon that knows history, but won't mansplain it to you. He enjoys long rides along the beach and would be extra satisfied if he would be the one to kill Jaime Lannister, since he killed his father.

* Finally, there is Viserion, named the second in line to the Mad King Aery's throne, Viserys Targaryen. Viserion is creamy white with gold markings, matching the real-life appearance of the late Viserys (creep). Viserys looked like a true Targaryen, with silver hair and milky pale skin. He also had the incestual and misogynistic mind of one, too. Luckily Dany put a stop to his temporary reign, but still found it in her heart to name one of her prized dragons after him. The gold markings on the dragon are also a reference to the way that Viserys died — with his beloved gold melting into his head.
He was killed by the night king's spear.
