"All my life I've waited for the great adventurer to offer me a place at his side", opens the new full-length trailer for forthcoming Netflix original series Marco Polo.

Offering a look at the little-known origins of the legendary explorer, the series is to detail his early life as a ward of 13th century Mongol emperor Kublai Khan.

The ten episodes to be streamed on the service were all shot in Malaysia, Italy and Kazakhstan.

Lorenzo Richelmy, Benedict Wong, Joan Chen, Chin Han, Zhu Zhu, Olivia Cheng, Claudia Kim, Mahesh Jadu, Tom Wu, Remy Hii, Uli Latukefu and Rick Yune all star.

Marco Polo is available only on Netflix later this year, on December 12.
