Here's The Trailer For Netflix's $90 Million Show 'Marco Polo'
Netflix released the first teaser trailer for another new series, "Marco Polo."
The high-profile series chronicles the life of the famed explorer in 13th century China where he crosses paths with the likes of Kublai Khan.
The series is created by John Fusco ("Hidalgo") and will star newcomer Lorenzo Richelmy as the lead while Harvey Weinstein serves as executive producer.
The Weinstein Company is also working with Netflix to release a "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" sequel on the streaming site next summer.
The New York Times reports "Marco Polo" costs about $90 million to produce. To give you an idea of the enormity of that production scale, the first "Mission Impossible" movie cost an estimated $80 million.
Deadline reported last year an average Netflix TV series costs between $3.8 million to $4.5 million an episode. That would bring the cost of a 13-episode series to just under $60 million.
The 10-episode series will debut December 12 on Netflix.
