"Marco Polo" Still Rumored For Cancellation Despite High Ratings
Netflix's original series "Marco Polo" has been getting high ratings while airing the first two seasons. Despite that, the series is still rumoured to be up for cancellation. There have been many reasons that are allegedly leading up to the show's cancellation, including the rumors that Benedict Wong, playing the lead role of Kublai Khan is allegedly no longer returning.
There have been speculations that Wong will no longer reprise his role as Kublai Khan in "Marco Polo" if and when the series returns for the third season. This is reportedly because of his other commitments.

However, since there still hasn't been any announcement made yet regarding the show's cancellation, rumors about it still needed to be taken lightly. In fact, if Netflix does not renew the series, the showrunners are reportedly trying to strike a deal with other networks to pick up the show. If Netflix decides not to renew it, there are still other viable options for the show to return.
