“Flesh and Bone” apparently costs an arm and a leg.
Season 1 of the upcoming Starz show proved to be more expensive than the premium TV channel’s typical limited-run series, and even on par with pricey undertaking “Black Sails.” Cost, logistics and creative challenges proved so taxing that Starz changed courses and elected to make “Flesh and Bone” a limited-run series as opposed to a standard seasonal one. The switcheroo topic was a hot one on Thursday’s Starz earnings call, which followed the company’s release of strong first quarter financials, driving stock STRZA to an all-time high.
