There were rumblings that the second season cost $6 million per episode to produce (via E! Online). If that's the case, it looks like HBO has no problem splashing more and more cash on the fantasy epic as its popularity continues to grow.

In the same issue of the magazine, star Emilia Clarke hit out at critics who accuse the show of sexism.
