The ambition of Netflix seems to have no limit. After investing more than 90 million dollars in the production of its new original series, Marco Polo, the streaming platform decided to launch its latest production like a Hollywood blockbuster through a massive opening ceremony.

The event took place in New York on Wednesday 2 December, in presence of all the recurring actors, as well as film industry mogul and The Weinstein Company’s founder Harvey Weinstein, Marco Polo creator John Fusco and Netflix’s Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos. South Korean actress Claudia Soo-hyun Kim (Khutulun) was also among the guests, posing for the occasion (left).
