The fans of "Marco Polo" television series demand continuation and Netflix is doing its best despite the enormous 'logistical' difficulty. The newest rumor regarding the creators' strategy to keep Season 3 in the green light is to cast the well-known "Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev.
Since the strong speculation of Benedict Wong's exit from the series, the prognosis of "Marco Polo" continuing for Season 3 is growing slimmer every passing week. Netflix might be struggling to balance itself between the expensive funding and the popular demand of the viewers. Every decision prior to the next official announcement hinges on what Netflix can do for the beloved Venetian explorer to remain on screen without compromising the quality.
Based on an article published by iTech Post, there has been recurring talks about casting Nina Dobrev as one of the characters in Season 3. However, this glimmer of hope is yet to be officially finalized. Netflix is pushing the boundaries of what they can do knowing that "Marco Polo" is (arguably) being deemed 'the most underrated television show in history.'

Should one consider HBO gaining ownership of the future franchise, "Marco Polo" might stand on par with historical masterpieces like "Boardwalk Empire" and "Deadwood." An article published by Jobs & Hire discusses how Benedict Wong's role as Kublai Khan has earned the positive notice of HBO.
Unfortunately, Benedict Wong's exit is still a complicated issue by itself. His other commitments contribute to the current postponement of Season 3.
To make casting challenges even more difficult, other high-caliber stars are even rumored to be leaving the show. In a report published by Parent Herald weeks ago, renowned Asian actress Michelle Yeoh is also not joining Season 3 due to her conflicting priority role in "Star Trek: Discovery" to be featured in CBS All Access.
