Camelot, $7 million (£5.3 million) per episode

Best known for succeeding Steven Moffat on Doctor Who, Chris Chibnall also co-ran the Starz series Camelot, a historical drama fantasy about King Arthur's adventures. Often compared to Game of Thrones, the racy show received early praise, even nabbing an Emmy nomination.

But its success was short-lived and quickly fizzled out. Starz cancelled the series after one season, attributing its decision to production scheduling challenges within the star-studded cast, which included Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, and Jamie Campbell Bower. Chibnall himself had left the show because of other writing obligations, claiming he did not know about the show's cancellation.
