Netflix has opted to cancel the popular American drama "Marco Polo" after its two seasons.
The show becomes the first Netflix original scripted series to not be renewed for a third season, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Originally developed with a straight-to-series order at Starz back in 2012, Marco Polo debuted to dismal reviews.
The drama, produced by The Weinstein Co, featured a global cast that included Lorenzo Richelmy in the title role with Benedict Wong as Kublai Khan.
"We want to thank and are grateful to our partners on 'Marco Polo' from the actors, whose performances were enthralling and top-notch; to the committed producers, including John Fusco, Dan Minahan, Patrick Macmanus and their crew, who poured their hearts into the series.
"And of course Harvey (Weinstein), David (Glasser) and our friends at TWC, who were great collaborators from start to finish," Netflix VP original content Cindy Holland said.
