Found out 'The Bear' season 2 cost over $250,000 per minute to film
Read it in a trade magazine article last week. They broke down the budget for the whole season. That crazy number is mostly from the food costs and the guest stars. Makes you see why every shot looks so good. Anyone else know a show that spends that much?

That number is nuts but you can see it on screen. The Fishes episode alone must have cost a fortune with all those actors. It makes you wonder how much of a streaming service's budget goes to just a few flagship shows. I heard the final season of Succession was up there too, but mostly for the cast salaries.

My friend works in post production and said the catering budget for one day on The Fishes episode was more than her monthly rent. She saw the invoices, kais67. They had separate chefs for the vegan actors and flown-in seafood for that dinner scene. It's wild how these shows burn money on tiny details most people won't notice. Makes you realize why other shows on the same service look so cheap.
