About 3 Body Problem

3 Body Problem is a Netflix science-fiction series that premiered in 2024, created by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss together with Alexander Woo, adapting Liu Cixin's award-winning novel trilogy. It begins with a string of inexplicable scientist suicides and a fateful decision made decades earlier during China's Cultural Revolution, then widens into a story of first contact with an alien civilization — the San-Ti — that is coming to Earth across centuries.

Following a group of brilliant friends known as the 'Oxford Five', the series braids mind-bending physics, a hypnotic virtual-reality game, and the dawning realization that humanity must begin preparing now for a war it may not live to fight. It pairs cosmic scale with intimate human stakes, asking what people do when the future itself has been declared lost.

With a cast led by Jess Hong, Benedict Wong, and Rosalind Chao, 3 Body Problem is ambitious, philosophical event science fiction.
