Marco Polo Season 2 premieres on Netflix July 1. It took way too long, but we finally have the first images picturing the upcoming season’s most important characters, including Marco Polo himself. Take a look:
Marco Polo follows a Venetian boy (Marco Polo), left by his father in the hands of the King of the Mongol Empire, Kublai Khan, in exchange for passage on the Silk Road. Marco Polo begins to learn Mongolian culture and studies martial arts. Kublai Khan sees Marco Polo as an asset as he seeks to conquer and rule the world. In the Season 1 finale, Kublai’s Mongolian Army overpowers Jia Sadao’s troops and defeats the Chinese City of Xiangyang.

Expect 10 new episodes to appear on Netflix July 1st at 3 a.m. EDT. In the meantime, be sure to watch Marco Polo: The One Hundred Eyes special, which released on Netflix in December.
