The real zinger here, though, is the respective budget for each show. The Acolyte somewhat infamously had a budget of $180 million, meaning that each episode cost, on average, $22.5 million to make. Andor had a larger budget of $250 million (again, to account for having more episodes), spending an average of $20.8 million per episode.
Obviously, your mileage may vary, but all of this makes The Acolyte (a show that, again for the cheap seats, I kinda liked) seem like Disney wasted some serious money. The studio effectively spent $20.8 million on each 42-minute episode of Andor and $22.5 million for each 35-minute episode of The Acolyte. Simply put, when it came to The Acolyte, the House of Mouse spent more money to give us less story compared to Andor.
