Now we’re moving onto Citadel, the second most expensive show ever made at $300 million, but one without any sort of established IP to boost its prospects. Amazon has had a frankly bizarre amount of faith in this series, and at least so far, that does not seem to be paying off.

Amazon has had a frankly bizarre amount of faith in this series, and at least so far, that does not seem to be paying off.
What on earth is going on with his show? It’s a spy thriller that Amazon hired Avengers Endgame’s Russo Brothers to produce. The problem is that Amazon has put anamount of faith in this series, spending $300 million on it, plus already renewing it for season 2, plus formulating spin-offs set in Italy, Spain, India and Mexico.
Part of the high cost of the series was the controversial removal of its original writers, Josh Applebaum and Adnrew Nemec. David Weil was then hired as showrunner which led to extensive, costly reshoots. And judging by the early reviews, that does not seem to have paid off.
