FinalRune’s operating budget for Season One of The Cleansed is $35,000, or $3,000 per episode with additional funds to support the show as a whole.
To put this into perspective, that’s less than one half of the budget for a single episode of Dancing With the Stars, or 3% of the budget of a typical episode of Survivor, for over five hours of quality audio programming.
Here is the breakdown:
