Your Exclusive First Look At ‘Marco Polo’ Season Two
Posted by US Card Code on May 26th 2016
Last season, we watched as the young idealistic Venetian Marco Polo (Lorenzo Richelmy) found himself a captive in the court of the legendary Kublai Khan (Benedict Wong). He soon learned to see the great leader as a father figure and by the end of the season, he was fighting alongside the Mongolians in a tense battle against their Chinese enemies. Season Two looks to build on this world of intrigue and danger.
Netflix is proud to showcase the world’s first glimpse at the second season of original series Marco Polo.
In a world replete with greed, betrayal, sexual intrigue and rivalry, Marco Polo is based on the famed explorer’s adventures in Kublai Khan’s court in 13th Century China.
John Fusco, who wrote the Academy-Award nominated feature Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is executive producer and showrunner along with Dan Minahan, whose previous work includes Homeland and Game of Thrones, with Patrick Macmanus, Harvey Weinstein, Bob Weinstein and Elizabeth Sarnoff as executive producers.
