Marco Polo season 2 will this launch Friday, 1st July exclusively on Netflix. Take a look at the trailer and poster below.
From what we see in the new trailer Lorenzo Richelmy’s Italian explorer seemsto be on good terms with his captor-turned-employer Kublai Khan (Benedict Wong).
“Marco Polo, I conscript you into the order of the Mongol Knights,” Khan tells him. The soundtrack, however, suggests Marco may still be questioning his loyalty. “Devil, Devil,” croons Los Angeles indie singer Milck, in a moody, Lana Del Rey-ish number. By cosying up to the great warlord, has Polo sold his soul?
Plus it looks like, Khan’s grasp on power may be slipping; there’s a new challenger to his claim on the Mongol throne, and the empire’s continual expansion leaves it more vulnerable than before; “The empire is growing,” Marco explains. “The larger it becomes, the larger the target.”
