To mark the release of Netflix’s latest, ambitious series Marco Polo – we had the pleasure of sitting down with the title character himself, Lorenzo Richelmy, alongside the show’s leading antagonist Kublai Khan, played by Benedict Wong.

We discussed the show and what fans can expect from this exciting new series – while the pair also discussed the continuous rise of television, and how the line between the small screen and the silver screen is becoming increasingly blurred. We also asked Richelmy if he has any plans on making the move to Hollywood any time soon…

All ten episodes of the Netflix original series MARCO POLO will premiere on Friday, December 12 at 12:01 AM PT, exclusively on Netflix.
