Although Netflix has not yet issued any official announcement on the renewal of the historical drama, "Marco Polo" fans remain hopeful that the series will return for another season.

There are speculations that "Marco Polo" season 3 will still happen, though in that case its production will not begin until late next year. This delay is reportedly caused by high production cost as well as conflicts in the schedule of its cast and crew.

According to rumors, the network has decided to push back the release date of the series in order to give more time for its production. There are also rumors that the series might have to be delayed for a year to make way for the upcoming shows of Netflix in 2017, such as the new seasons of "Stranger Things" and "Narcos."

Some reports claim that aside from high production cost, another reason for the delay of the series is Benedict Wong's busy schedule. The actor is said to have a busier schedule now that he is set to appear in more films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since these films reportedly take precedence in the actor's list of priorities, fans of "Marco Polo" will have to wait a little longer until Wong is finally available for the season 3 filming.

While Netflix has yet to confirm the renewal of the series, fans hope that "Marco Polo" season 3 will kick off production next year. Fans are also positive that the network will officially announce the renewal of the series in early 2017, and that shooting will start in summer. If that is the case, then "Marco Polo" season 3 could end up airing in late 2018.
