Rumors that Netflix's hit TV series "Marco Polo" is getting cancelled in the middle of season 2 has been put to rest. Fans can breathe in a quick sigh of relief. But brace yourself because according to rumors, it remains to be seen whether Marco Polo is going to be renewed for next season. Aside from that, there's speculation that Marco Polo Season 3 is not going to be aired at Netflix.
According to Release Date, Marco Polo scored 8.1 out of 10 from at least 40,000 users. It also has received at least 166 reviews and 17 critic reviews and if Netflix is considering these data, they would surely want to keep Marco Polo Season 3 under their wing.
Marco Polo has gained such following because of its diverse casts, and of course, the series' splendid martial arts scenes with intricate techniques.
In an interview from Hollywood Reporter Full TV Executives Roundtable, Ted Sarandos explained that Marco Polo has done "what it was supposed to do." He discussed the future of Marco Polo with other TV executives such as Richard Plepler from HBO, Josh Sapan from AMC, Nancy Dubuc of A+E and even Bonnie Hammer from NBCUniversal. No details about the negotiation have been officially announced.
On the casting side, Benedict Wong will still reprise his role as Kublai Khan when Marco Polo returns for season 3, although it was rumored that he is expected to appear less and less over time. MNR told there are rumors Wong's character, Kublai Khan, is going to have an untimely demise in season 3. Kublai Khan is going to face a new character - a Christian warrior priest, a Templar of some sort that can possibly kill Kublai Khan in Marco Polo Season 3.
In any case, we can be assure that the TV executives are fighting for the renewal of Marco Polo next season because fans can't get enough and are clamoring for another season of the show.
