"Marco Polo," an all-new TV series from Netflix, has released its first main trailer. The trailer reveals the main plot of the show along with some of the important characters, such as Kublai Khan. The show will mostly deal with the adventures of the character in China. [Warning: Spoiler Alert]

"Marco Polo" is about a young man who has always been seeking a great adventure in his life. His chance comes when he travels to Kublai Khan's court. Things don't go according to plan for the man when his father gives him away to the king as tribute.

The man's father is a trader who profits from the trade along the Silk Road, a famous trade route in the past. Kublai Khan has a task for the young man from Venice, but the task is fraught with danger. His journey will take him from the luxuries of the Imperial court to the brutal battle fields of China.

Kublai Khan wants to be the emperor of the world and this puts him in direct confrontation with the Song dynasty of China. In the battle for empires, "Marco Polo" promises the audience blood, sex, intrigue and drama.

In the midst of all this, the young man from Venice has to find his way. Will he strive to go back home to his people or adopt the new country as his own? But the harsh environment of his new world has one rule - loyalty to Kublai Khan. A man who is loyal to Kublai Khan can have whatever he wishes.

The cast members of "Marco Polo" include Lorenzo Richelmy as the protagonist, Benedict Wong as Kublai Khan, Joan Chen as Empress Chabi, Chin Han as Jia Sidao, Mahesh Jadu as Ahmad, Vanessa Vanderstraaten as Sorga and Rick Yune as Kaidu.

Will "Marco Polo" take the young man from Venice too deep into Mongolia and China and turn him into one of them? The man will have to train to live in this new country while navigating the politics and intrigue of the court. His love for a local girl may also win him a few enemies.
