Continuing to add their growing roster of original content, Netflix is planning to begin production on a brand new original series. Following the life and times of explorer Marco Polo in 13th century China, the show will highlight the life of the Venetian explorer during times of war.

With shooting to begin very shortly at Pinewood Studios Malaysia, we should hopefully be getting an official title and some cast reveals soon. While nothing has been revealed yet, Netflix claims the show will consist of a “global cast.”

This new Marco Polo show will join the ranks of Orange Is The New Black, House of Cards, and Arrested Development in their slew of original shows. Oh, and let us not forget Lilyhammer (if you haven’t forgot about it already).
