How much money does Netflix give a production company for a series? The producers of the German series "unorthodox" thought that they had a relatively small budget. How much euro can you imagine?
Low budget is everything under 7000 euro.
A "small" budget should be around 100,000 euro.
Netflix doesn't spend that much on German things. One of the most expensive series so far has been Babylon Berlin, where 45 million was spent on two seasons with 8 episodes each, i.e. Around 2.8 million per episode. The first season of Dark is rumored to be around $ 21 million (10 episodes), or just $ 2.1 million per episode.
For comparison: In Orange is the new Black, 50 million was invested per season (13 episodes), i.e. Around 3.8 million per episode. And this despite the fact that these series are completely without special effects.
I can imagine that for a niche series like Unorthodox, which has only a few episodes, a much smaller budget was planned, probably only between 1-2 million euro per episode, so a total of between 4 and 8 million euro.
No, you can put a "zero" on it.
If you can't google or read the numbers from the annual report then you have to call Netflix personally… So far, Netflix has spent an average of $ 200 million per production on documentaries and filming, it starts with 10 million.
