The series stars Lorenzo Richelmy as Polo, the famed explorer who traveled to Mongol China in the 13th century and encountered Mongol leader Kublai Khan. The ten-episode season will chronicle these travels, and a release from Netflix notes that the series will feature “a world replete with greed, betrayal, sexual intrigue and rivalry.”
