Hello friends! Ever heard of Netflix’s series “3 Body Problem”? Whether you’re a fan already or not, there’s exciting news for you all. The series is going to continue its story with additional episodes on Netflix!

Continuation of a Unique Story

For those who may not know, the unique title “3 Body Problem” comes from a trilogy of novels by Chinese author Liu Cixin titled ‘Remembrance of Earth’s Past’. The first of these novels was indeed the “3 Body Problem”. The series has captivated many since it began airing on the streaming giant.

Though the series didn’t exactly hit the ball out of the park as Netflix might have hoped, especially considering it costs a cool $20 million per episode, it did pull in a pretty large audience. Encouraged by this, Netflix has ordered extra episodes, meaning we’re going to see the story continue and guess what? They’ve already renewed the show for two more seasons as well!

Movie Adaptation in the Works

But wait, there’s more! Our story doesn’t stop at the small screen. There’s a feature film adaptation of “Three-Body Problem” on the way! The man at the helm is none other than renowed Chinese director Zhang Yimou. You might recognize his work from films like the Jet Li action-packed movie “Hero” or the Matt Damon historical flick “The Great Wall”.

This movie news was announced by none other than Wang Changtian, the CEO of China’s Enlight Media, at the opening forum of the Shanghai International Film Festival this past weekend. What’s even more thrilling is that this film isn’t just in the talk phase, it’s actually already in post-production stage. So, we can expect to see it soon!

Future of the Netflix Series

Okay, now back to our Netflix mainstay. The series’ showrunners – David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo – have previously mentioned having plans for a multi-season storyline. They aim to cover the entire trilogy in the series. A second season is already in conceptualization, and they aim to complete the trilogy, whether in three or four seasons, or as needed.

The series’ first eight episodes follow a young woman’s decision from 1960s China which has repercussions in present times and affects a group of brilliant scientists. The unraveling of nature’s laws prompts a reunion of the scientist cohort to deal with the biggest threat humanity has ever faced.

The cast is quite star-studded, featuring names like Eiza González (*Baby Driver*, *From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series*), Benedict Wong (*Doctor Strange*, *Gemini Man*), and Liam Cunningham (*Game of Thrones*, *Dog Soldiers*), among others.

So brace yourselves folks! It looks like we’re in for more intriguing episodes from “3 Body Problem” on Netflix and an upcoming feature film too! The world of “3 Body Problem” is rapidly expanding and promises interesting adventures ahead.
