'Marco Polo' season 3 news, updates: Netflix finally announces show's cancellation

(Facebook/Marco Polo)Netflix has canceled 'Marco Polo' after two seasons.

Fans of "Marco Polo" can finally breathe and grieve at the same time as Netflix has announced that the series will no longer be renewed for a third season.

Deadline and other reliable outlets have confirmed that "Marco Polo" season 3 will not happen anymore. While the first season was a hit among viewers, season 2 didn't get too much attention.

According to the outlet, Netflix Vice President of Original Content Cindy Holland said, "We want to thank and are grateful to our partners on Marco Polo from the actors, whose performances were enthralling and top-notch; to the committed producers... and their crew, who poured their hearts into the series."

Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of the Weinstein Company, which produced "Marco Polo," also thanked Netflix for giving the series a chance to go on air. He went on to praise creator John Fusco for the work he came up with. Weinstein added that he is looking forward to future projects with Fusco.

Fusco, on the other hand, teased that he and Weinstein are currently working on an "idea" which has a "similar" theme to "Marco Polo." More details are expected to be revealed in the long run.

"Marco Polo" season 3 has been the subject of cancellation rumors over the past months. With the confirmation that the series has been axed from Netflix's list of shows, reports can finally stop. However, loyal fans of the series are unhappy about the news.

It appears that "Marco Polo" still has a loyal following despite the cancellation. Since the team has not announced a potential spin-off, it is unclear if Benedict Wong's Kublai Khan will ever be seen in the small screens again.

For now, fans can only hope that Fusco's future projects with Weinstein and Netflix will include a spinoff for the historical drama. While this is not impossible, it is best to wait for further announcements.

"Marco Polo" season 1 premiered December 2014, followed by season 2 on July of this year.
