Netflix has renewed its popular sci-fi series 3 Body Problem for a second season and series creators, executive producers, and writers David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo, are returning to work on it.
The first season of the show was better than I expected it to be. I enjoyed the story, which centers around humanity’s first contact with an alien civilization.
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.”
Benioff, Weiss and Woo said in a joint statement: “We’re thrilled that we get to tell this story through to its epic conclusion. Ever since we read the last page of Cixin Liu’s magnificent trilogy, we hoped we’d be able to bring the audience to the end of the universe with us. Here we go!”
Weiss previously talked about the challenges of making a second season, saying: “This kind of eases you into the world of the story but the story gets really wild in the best possible way.
He added: “With something that’s that wild, there are a lot of choices to be made and a lot of things to be figured out. We’ve been putting our heads together to figure them out recently especially the past couple of months.”
Hopefully, the creative team will continue to develop a great show as they progress the story forward.
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.
