Tudum is bouncing all over Netflix and has finally released their trailer for the upcoming alien sci-fi supernova the 3 Body Problem. As invited to the party by Screenrant and Deadline, the series, abducted from Liu Cixin’s novel The Three-Body Problem, will aim at Chinese physicist Wang Miao who forges through the sapient trenches to investigate an outbreak of suicides within The Frontiers of Science. Game of Thrones dragons D.B. Weiss and David Benioff will fly as executive producers for the show.
Now that Netflix has unleashed the trailer for the 3 Body Problem at Tudum for the Earth-raiding, teeth-grinding, solar-flaying intergalactic drama, the inner screams of anyone who has read and loved the books will only get louder.
On the surface, the 3 Body Problem is a tale about fierce love, friendship, and discovery. Though digging deeper into the wreckage you will find a dark, fist-around-your-pumping-heart story surrounding betrayal, scientific data, and the survival of the human race’s first contact with aliens.
The trailer comes in all the best cosmic brownie colors from the book— extraterrestrial, astronomic, martian tech. It’s all there with a release tag from the not so distant star of January 2024.
While the first season focuses on the blood of Cixin’s first book in the trilogy, the series is anticipated to ultimately claw a viscous swath through all three books. Spewing a tactically-engrossing epic out from the back of a rocket with enthralling characters and stories for thrusters, season 1 of the 3 Body Problem will balance the equilibrium for the whole series.
As Wang explores The Frontiers of Science, he befriends Ye Wenjie, an astrophysicist who takes her ring finger and pops the bubble on her rogue work at a Chinese radar base. Ye’s daughter, just one of the many scientist suicides within the infamous group Wang is investigating, brings these two satellites together.
The 3 Body Problem drips with Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), Eiza González (Ambulance, Love Spreads), Ben Schnetzer (Y: The Last Man, The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair), Jovan Adepo (To Catch Killer, Babylon), Eve Ridley (Casualty, Peppa Pig), Sea Shimooka (Pink Skies Ahead, Arrow), Marlo Kelly (Joe vs. Carole, Dare Me), Jess Hong (Inked, The Brokenwood Mysteries), Zine Tseng (On Whim), Alex Sharp (Living, The Trial of the Chicago 7), and Rosiland Chao (Better Things, Sweet Tooth) as Ye Wenjie in the cast.
Reuniting the broken atmosphere with Weiss and Benioff will be Game of Thrones alums Jonathan Pryce (The Crown, Slow Horses), Liam Cunningham (Impact Winter, Masters of the Universe: Revelation), and John Bradley (North Shore, The Railway Children Return). Oscar-nominated director Derek Tsang (Soulmate, Better Days) will be among the directors for the show.
Benioff (Metal Lords, The Chair) and Weiss (The Specials, Metal Lords) not only feed their fam as showrunners but also as executive producers. Author of this droplet on Earth, Liu Cixin, will nurture the show as consulting producer. Alexander Woo (The Terror, True Blood) co-created the show with Weiss and Benioff and will also write and executive produce, while Bernadette Caulfield (Game of Thrones, The Nevers) is Executive Producer.
Ram Bergman (Poker Face, Fair Play), Rian Johnson (Knives Out, Glass Onion), and Nena Rodrigue (Poker Face, Lost & Found) operate as Executive Producers for T-Street.
