Netflix’s ‘3 Body Problem’ is returning with few additional episodes

Netflix has announced the renewal of ‘3 Body Problem’ but didn’t refer to the extension as a ‘season 2’.

Instead of returning with a season 2, ‘3 Body Problem’ will have additional episodes, as per Netflix.

However, the exact number of seasons and episodes will be announced at a later date. It appears that the order will take the series to its finale, as creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo noted in a statement that they get to tell this story through to its epic conclusion.

Based on the novels by Liu Cixin, ‘3 Body Problem’ follows how a decision made by a young woman in 1960s China reverberates across space and time into the present day, driving a group of scientists to join forces with an unorthodox detective to confront a major threat to humanity.

The cast includes Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Rosalind Chao, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Marlo Kelly, Alex Sharp, Sea Shimooka, Zine Tseng, Saamer Usmani, Benedict Wong and Jonathan Pryce.

The series debuted in March and spent three weeks in the No. 1 position on the Netflix Top 10, plus another four weeks lower on the chart.

‘3 Body Problem marks Benioff and Weiss’ first new project since “Game of Thrones,” while Woo is known for projects such as “The Terror: Infamy” and “True Blood.”
