Video: Go behind the scenes on the set of Netflix’s brand new series, Marco Polo

MARCO… POLO…

Oisin Collins

This nifty little video courtesy of PlayStation goes behind the scenes on the set of Netflix’s latest original series, Marco Polo.

As well as giving us a look at what happens on set, the video also features interviews with stunt coordinator Brett Chan, executive producers John Fusco and Dan Minahan, and cast members Lorenzo Richelmy (Marco Polo), Benedict Wong (Kublai Khan), Olivia Cheng (Mei Lin), Claudia Kim (Khutulun) and Zhu Zhu (Kokachin).

The cast and crew tell us about the training they underwent to prepare for their roles, especially as all of the actors in Marco Polo did their own fighting and naturally needed to be in tip top shape.

Just like JOE.

*cough*

Make sure to keep an eye out for all things Marco Polo on JOE this week, as we’ll be featuring our own interviews with the main cast members of Marco Polo. You definitely won’t want to miss that…
