Countless fans are now stoked for the upcoming release of the "Marco Polo" Season 3. However, recent reports are claiming that the Netflix series has already been cancelled after Season 2 due to budget issues and plummeting ratings.
Netflix cancelled 'Marco Polo' Season 3 after Season 2 ratings drop
The Bitbag reports that "Marco Polo" Season 3 might not happen at all as the production is now facing problems on its budget and ratings. The entertainment news outlet says that the Netflix series' Season 2 is currently experiencing a problem on its ratings.
Sources are claiming that Season 2 was not as successful as Season 1, which widens the possibility that "Marco Polo" Season 3 will be put to oblivion. Insiders add that Netflix might scrap the idea of having the series' third season if the ratings continue to drop.
The Bitbag has shared that Starz Network has dropped the series and sold it to Netflix for $90 million. However, its difficulty to maintain high ratings could possibly force Netflix to scrap the highly-anticipated "Marco Polo" Season 3.
Netflix could cancel 'Marco Polo' Season 3 due to budget problems
Meanwhile, GamenGuide has previously reported that Netflix is likely to cancel "Marco Polo" Season 3. Rumors claim that Netflix could not afford the production cost of the imminent series.
Moreover, reports say that "Marco Polo" Season 3 needs millions of dollars to complete a season. As a matter of fact, it is being considered as the most expensive Netflix series at the moment.
Sources divulge that the total budget for "Marco Polo" Season 3 is a little bit smaller than what HBO needs to produce the "Game of Thrones" Season 7. Aside from the ratings and budget, reports claim that "Marco Polo" Season 3 is also facing problems on its plot and cast.
Netflix is yet to comment on these reports. "Marco Polo" Season 3 is expected to debut in 2017.
