“Something or someone is targeting our scientists,” a voice over cautions as dead bodies are discovered. “There is someone behind everything, you just have to dig.” Netflix on Wednesday dropped the trailer of its highly anticipated new series 3 Body Problem, which has Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and DB Weiss attached as showrunners and executive producers.
Billed as a thrilling story that “redefines sci-fi drama with its layered mysteries and genre-bending high stakes”, the eight-episode show is based on the acclaimed international bestselling book trilogy, The Three-Body Problem by Chinese author Cixin Liu. Alexander Woo (of The Terror: Infamy, True Blood fame) has co-created the series with Benioff and Weiss and is also the executive producer and writer.

The official synopsis of 3 Body Problem reads, “A young woman’s fateful decision in 1960s China reverberates across space and time into the present day. When the laws of nature inexplicably unravel before their eyes, a close-knit group of brilliant scientists join forces with an unorthodox detective to confront the greatest threat in humanity’s history.”
The over two-minute-long trailer, then, sets up the mind-bending world of the series, amping up it stakes and making it clear that it is going to be a visually stunning journey into several timelines and continents. A handy guidebook of the characters, arcs and timelines perhaps would be recommended, as the show is dense with its plot and mind-boggling with the how it intercut across time and geography.
