One of Netflix’s highest anticipated projects for this year is the sci-fi series “3 Body Problem,” which is an adaptation of the widely celebrated novel of the same name by Lui Cixin. The series will premiere on March 21, 2024, and it will have eight episodes.
Part of the excitement comes from the fact that the series was created by David Benioff and D. B Weiss, who are, of course, well known for bringing “Games of Thrones” to our TV screens. For this project, they work alongside Alexander Woo, who wrote for “True Blood.”
