Netflix Is Creating One Of The Most Expensive TV Shows In The World — Here's Why It's So Important

It's one of the most expensive TV series ever made, according to The New York Times, since it costs $90 million to produce 10 episodes. The only show with a higher budget is HBO's "Game Of Thrones." But there's another reason "Marco Polo" is so important for Netflix. The company is hoping the series will appeal to international audiences as it expands, especially since Netflix holds the international rights to "Marco Polo." Netflix didn't hold any international rights to other popular shows such as "House Of Cards," which is why the series was able to appear on rival platforms in Germany and France, according to The New York Times. - Lisa Eadicicco,Business Insider [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
