Netflix has released the final trailer for its epic sci-fi series 3 Body Problem, which was developed by the creative team behind HBO’s Game of Thrones, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The series is described as “a thrilling story that redefines sci-fi drama with its layered mysteries and genre-bending high stakes.”
This looks like a great show that will take fans on an intriguing journey. Hopefully, the creative team will be able to stick the landing.
In the series: “A young woman’s fateful decision in 1960s China reverberates across space and time to a group of brilliant scientists in the present day. As the laws of nature unravel before their eyes, five former colleagues reunite to confront the greatest threat in humanity’s history.”
The series stars John Bradley, Jess Hong, Benedict Wong, Eiza González, Jovan Adepo, Alex Sharp, Saamer Usmani, Liam Cunningham, Rosalind Chao, Jonathan Pryce, Marlo Kelly, Sea Shimooka, Ben Schnetzer and Zine Tseng.
Rian Johnson, Brad Pitt, and Rosamund Pike also serve as producers on the series. Benioff, Weiss, and Alexander Woo wrote the series and serve as showrunners.
The eight-episode series is based on the book series by Cixin Liu, and it will cover all three books in the trilogy, which include The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death’s End.
The books tell the story of what happens “when humanity discovers that we are not alone in the universe and prepares for an alien force arriving from a distant and inhospitable world. The title refers to the aliens’ star system, which has three stars orbiting each other in such a way that an Earth-type planet between them keeps suffering extreme hot and cold temperatures, repeatedly wiping out its intelligent civilizations.”
The series will debut on Netflix on March 21st, 2024.
