According to the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, the budget for AMC's The Ones Who Live was the highest of any Walking Dead show yet. The agency listed the show's total budget as $82 million, which would come to roughly $13.7 million per episode. This is quite a bit higher than the budget of the other recent spinoff, The Walking Dead: Dead City, which was about $72 million total, or $12 million per episode.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live's budget doesn't just exceed that of Dead City, but also that of the original series. In fact, its per-episode budget is more than quadruple that of the original series. The Walking Dead reportedly cost around $3 million per episode to make. When it started, its budget was $3.4 million per episode, but the cost was later whittled down to about $2.75 million for later seasons.
