One episode costs over $20 million, the entire second series was shot for 270 days, two and a half thousand crew members were on set, 50,000 arrows were used.
This year – announces Dorota Eberhardt – in Max you will also be able to watch the series “Penguin” with Colin Farrell, “Dune: The Prophecy”, taking place 10,000 years before the action of the cinematic “Dune”, next year “The Last of Us” will return , “White Lotus” and “Euphoria”, and “most likely in 2026” the Harry Potter series will premiere.
