The series, which has been in the works since 2017, is believed to be the most expensive in history: according to the Hollywood Reporter, its first season is estimated to have cost $465 million. There are plans to make up to five seasons, because as the showrunner of the series, JD Payne, told Empire, Amazon bought the rights to produce up to a total of 50 hours. The recording of the second season, according to the company, was initially planned in New Zealand but was changed to the United Kingdom.
