I bet a whole 26-episode season of 90s Trek cost as much as a single episode of Discovery ($8-10 million)

I was curious so I did some research. The costs:

TOS: $190,635 per episode ($1.7 million when adjusted for inflation)

TNG: $1.3 million per episode ($3.3 million when adjusted for inflation)

Discovery: $8 million per episode ($9.8 million adjusted for inflation)

Definitely more, but considering that Discovery's seasons were half as long (13 episodes per season to TNG's 26) and could thus allocate twice as much of the season's budget to an episode, it's surprisingly not that much more. About 50% higher.

They still should have taken some of that CGI budget and spent it on the writers, though.

Wow, didn’t realize TNG was that expensive.

Half of the budget was for Roddenberry's cocaine.
