Tom Hardy’s new show Taboo might be getting rave reviews… but it’s struggling to recoup money.<br /><br />According to new reports, the show is almost 2 and a half million dollars shy of breaking even. It had a reported almost-13 million dollar budget and Hardy’s production company Thirty Three and a Third has had to dip into its reserve, plunging it from 2 and a half million in 2015 to 862,000 a year later.<br /><br />A source admitted that Tom is a big spender, but his career is riding high so he isn’t short of offers so he can afford the hit.<br /><br />Taboo is an eight-part period drama set predominately in the early 19th century London that chronicles James Delaney – played by Tom – who returns to town following a 10 year stay in Africa.<br /><br />The series is produced by Ridley Scott and was created by Tom and his father Edward.<br /><br />And even though it’s losing money, we can only imagine Tom is more concerned with bringing his art to the screen.<br />
