FULL STORY ======================================================================3 Body Problem season 2: key information - Renewed for season 2 and 3 in May 2024 - Filming yet to commence - Predict the main cast members will return - No trailer to share just yet - No official plot details released, but follows Liu's trilogy - Season 1 finale lays out potential story threads - Season 3 will be the show's conclusion Intense sci-fi 3 Body Problem is a stellar example of how Netflix, one of the best streaming services , executes an impressive foray into the genre. The show is adapted from Cixin Lius Remembrance of Earths Past trilogy into the English-language and its truly a vast and complicated book series to transform to TV, but its in the best of hands. Spearheaded by Game of Thrones David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, alongside True Bloods Alexander Woo, the trio tackled season 1s alternate reality through a VR headset with ambitious scope, an impending alien invasion, and the complexities of how different people cope with such nearing fate. In the books, a scientist makes contact with an alien race, the San-Ti, in Beijing. In the best Netflix show , the Oxford Five, a group of scientists and friends, make contact in London. Fortunately, they discover that the San-Tis journey to Earth will take 400 years, but on whose timeline? For our timeline at least, were keen for another season before four centuries pass, and luckily we wont have to wait that long. Seemingly, not too long at all. Heres everything we know about 3 Body Problem season 2. Full spoilers follow for 3 Body Problem season 1. Potential spoilers are also discussed for season 2. 3 Body Problem season 2 release date prediction 3 Body Problem has been renewed! Netflix will bring this epic story through its mind-blowing conclusion! pic.twitter.com/zw6txhOqGh May 15, 2024 Yes, the San Ti may be 400 years away, but you wont have to wait that long for 3 Body Problem season 2. In fact, in May 2024, 3 Body Problem was officially renewed . And not just for season 2. 3 Body Problem is set to be a trilogy, and during the official Television Academy panel in LA, showrunners and writers David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo, revealed that theyd be returning for season 2 and 3, culminating in the shows conclusion. As reported by Netflix Tudum , Weiss said: We included a lot of what we loved from the [novels by Cixin Liu] in season 1, but the vast majority of reasons we wanted to make this show are in season 2. We always wanted to get to the final page of the third book, and its really, really thrilling for us that we will get to do just that. When it comes to a release date, Weiss was asked by Collider whens the earliest they could start filming, to which he said: Fall. As fall has passed, well take a look at season 1 for our best prediction. Filming took nine months between October 2021 and mid 2022. Then, it wasnt released until March 2024. Its important to note though that the release was delayed by the SAG-AFTRA strikes. As 3 Body Problem hasnt commenced filming yet, wed predict that we wont see season 2 until at least 2026. 3 Body Problem season 2 rumored cast Members of the Oxford Five, Auggie and Jin, are sure to return (Image credit: Netflix) Major spoilers follow for 3 Body Problem season 1. Theres no official cast confirmation, yet, but from how 3 Body Problem season 1 ended, wed predict the following cast members to return: Jovan Adepo as Saul Durand John Bradley as Jack Rooney Liam Cunningham as Thomas Wade Eiza Gonzlez as Auggie Salazar Jess Hong as Jin Cheng Marlo Kelly as Tatiana Haas Sea Shimooka as Sophon Zine Tseng as Young Ye Wenjie Saamer Usmani as Raj Varma Benedict Wong as Da Shi Jonathan Pryce as Mike Evans As both space and time were impacted by the threat of the San-Tis arrival, there were a fair few deaths that fell mercy to it in 3 Body Problem season 1. The two most poignant being Will Downing (Alex Sharp) and Ye Wenjie (Rosalind Chao & Zine Tseng). While viewers didnt witness the deaths, they did both meet their demise. So, unless they return in flashbacks, which the show has a penchant for especially when visiting the origins in China of the San-Tis first contact, then these two characters wont be returning. 3 Body Problem season 2 story speculation Saul Durand becomes a Wallfacer, but he's yet to uncover why (Image credit: Netflix) Full story spoilers follow for 3 Body Problem season 1. As devotees to Lius trilogy, the creators are seemingly following the books as closely as they can. While theres adaptations in terms of settings and revolving around the English language, as well as the inclusion of the Oxford Five, the plot is still in keeping with the books. In conversation with Collider , Benioff said: The first season roughly follows the arc of the first book. The second season would probably roughly follow the second book. The third book is massive. Its twice as long, I think, as the other two books. So maybe thats one season, maybe its two. But, you know, I think wed need at least three, maybe four seasons to tell the whole story. And its a beautiful ending. I think all three of us thought that the last page of Liu Cixin's epic was maybe the best final image wed encountered in a sci-fi saga like this. Its just incredibly moving and mind-blowing. As the San-Ti approach, Earth must find a way to defend itself (Image credit: Netflix) The second book in Lius trilogy, which will follow season 2, is The Dark Forest and the official synopsis is: "Imagine the universe as a forest, patrolled by numberless and nameless predators. In this forest, stealth is survival - any civilisation that reveals its location is prey. Earth has. Now the predators are coming. Crossing light years, the Trisolarians (known as the San-Ti in the show) will reach Earth in four centuries' time. But the sophons, their extra-dimensional agents and saboteurs, are already here. Only the individual human mind remains immune to their influence. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a last-ditch defence that grants four individuals almost absolute power to design secret strategies, hidden through deceit and misdirection from human and alien alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown" We're hoping for more of the VR alternate world and its guest stars (Image credit: Netflix) We know that Project Staircase failed and that humanity has to continue to prepare for an alien invasion. We also watched in season 1 as Saul Durand was named as one of the three Wallfacers of the show with no idea why. So, the storyline has been set up to continue their plan against the San-Ti and that all hope is not lost. When it comes to the length of 3 Body Problem season 1, Weiss told Vulture : Eight episodes always felt right to us, at least for this season. Its not a superfast burn. It takes some time for people to understand, for all the threads to come together, the video game and the countdown and the suicide-slash-murder investigations. Taking 10 or 20 episodes to answer that question didnt feel viable for the kind of show we were making. Perhaps season 2 will follow suit. 3 Body Problem season 2 trailer: is there one? Considering the cast and crew have yet to begin filming 3 Body Problem season 2, theres no trailer to share. As soon as there is, well be sure to update here. Where to watch 3 Body Problem season 1 If you're yet to catch up, now's the time (Image credit: Netflix) All eight episodes of 3 Body Problem season 1 are available to stream on Netflix, one of the worlds best streaming services , right now. As Netflix are responsible for the renewal of season 2 and 3 and the creation of season 1, wed fully expect the platform to remain the exclusive home for the epic sci-fi drama. Will 3 Body Problem get a third season on Netflix? You know Netflix are invested when they execute a double season renewal (Image credit: Netflix) Yes, it absolutely will. As already mentioned, 3 Body Problem was renewed for season 3 alongside season 2. But, during the announcement, Weiss, Benioff, and Woo revealed that season 3 would be the shows conclusion. While theres previously been conversation around wanting to run a season 4, it doesn't seem to be the case. Though as reported by Forbes , the shows creators refer to the remainder of the show in years, rather than seasons. Benioff said: By the time we finish with the show, it will be seven years weve devoted to it. He added: Were now at a place where we get to tell the rest of the story, and, yes, we have enough time to tell the rest of the story the way we want to and thats immensely gratifying. Either way, the creators say theyll reach the final page of the trilogy and for any fans of the books or fans of the show, itll be an epic ride.
