One of the biggest shows on Netflix
in recent years will return for not one, but two more seasons, with the science fiction series now getting an epic production update. After debuting on the streamer back in March last year, 3 Body Problem comes from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss who, alongside Alexander Woo, transformed the Chinese novel series “Remembrance of Earth’s Past” by Liu Cixin into an ambitious story that stretches across time and space.
According to a new report from What’s on Netflix, 3 Body Problem Seasons 2 and 3 are all set to begin production “with both upcoming seasons likely set to be filmed back to back, akin to the recent example of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which was similarly renewed for a second and third season together.”

Weiss (Game of Thrones), and Emmy-nominated Alexander Woo (The Terror: Infamy, True Blood) comes 3 Body Problem, a thrilling story that redefines sci-fi drama with its layered mysteries and genre-bending high stakes. Based on the acclaimed, international bestselling book trilogy, “The Three-Body Problem,” the series takes audiences across continents and decades, as five brilliant friends make earth-shattering discoveries as the laws of science unravel and an existential threat emerges.
3 Body Problem features an all-star ensemble cast that includes Rosalind Chao, Perry Yung, Li Fengxu, Lan Xiya, Vedette Lim, Jovan Adepo, Eiza González, Benedict Wong, Liam Cunningham, Jonathan Pryce, and more. You can check out the official synopsis for the series below.
“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.”
3 Body Problem was met with glowing reviews from both critics and audiences alike, landing a rating of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes from the former and 77% from the latter. Just last month, returning star Eiza González teased what’s next while speaking to Extra TV:
“It’s such a hard, you know, it’s a very unique piece of material. I remember reading the book and the scripts and just being completely transfixed by this world creation. And it’s so, it’s so sci-fi that sometimes you never know where it’s going to land, but people really welcomed it with open arms. And it’s amazing to meet people and how they’ve connected with the show. And I’m super excited for second and third season because if people have read the books, we’re going into the most amazing source material.”
