'Marco Polo' Season 3 Release Date, News: HBO Going To Pick Up 'Marco Polo' Season 3?

Since rumors that "Marco Polo" will be renewed for a third season began to surface, fans have been anxiously waiting for Netflix to announce its release date. However, the streaming network has remained mum on the subject, leading to speculations that the series might already be cancelled.

While there are speculations that "Marco Polo" will no longer be renewed for another season, there are also rumors that it will be renewed but will be picked up by a different network. Some reports claim that since Netflix is reluctant to renew the series, HBO will acquire the rights to air "Marco Polo" season 3.

Previous reports claimed that one of the reasons for Netflix's lack of enthusiasm to renew the show is its high production cost.

According to reports, HBO will take over the new season and will not spare any expense so as to ensure the success of the series. To make that possible, the network is reportedly going to bring Hollywood heavyweights on board to join the "Marco Polo" season 3 cast.

There are rumors that HBO will tap Nina Dobrev of "The Vampire Diaries" to play a still unspecified role. These rumors claim that since HBO is keen on ensuring the success of their new series, the network will take advantage of its stellar cast to steer the viewership of "Marco Polo" season 3 towards a more positive territory.

Some reports also suggest that Benedict Wong will reprise his role as Kublai Khan. However, some doubt if the actor will still have time to accept the project considering his current involvement in other movie and TV projects.

Netflix has yet to confirm the renewal of the series.
