Netflix has confirmed that David Benioff, Debbie Weiss and Alexander Wu will begin adapting Liu Cixi’s trilogy about the trilogy with a third season.
Netflix has surprised fans by announcing that the trilogy series based on the popular novel by Liu Cixin will end with a third season. The news was revealed earlier this month during Netflix’s FYSEE presentation, which raised doubts after new episodes were announced during Netflix’s Upfronts presentation.
Confirmation of the duration of the series
The biggest uncertainty about the initial announcement was how many seasons and episodes these “new installments” would include. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, David Benioff and Deb Weiss revealed that Netflix has given them the green light for multiple seasons, allowing them to fully adapt Liu Cixin’s trilogy.
“We knew from the start how many hours we needed to tell the whole story, and now we know what we need to get to the end as planned,” Weiss said. Benioff added that they spent four years on the first season and hope to complete the series in three more years, accumulating a total of seven years of work. “We’re in a position to tell the rest of the story the way we want to, and that’s very rewarding,” Benioff said.
What to expect from the third season?
The third season of The 3-Part Problem promises to give fans of the series a thrilling and satisfying finale. With an all-star cast including Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, Iza Gonzalez and Benedict Wong, the series captures the essence of the original novel and brings to the screen a complex and fascinating story that spans decades and dimensions.
A crucial decision in China in the 1960s will influence a group of brilliant scientists today. As the laws of nature crumble before their eyes, five former companions reunite to face the greatest threat in human history.
The creators behind the series
The series has been a major collaboration, with Benioff and Weiss serving as showrunners and executive producers, along with Alexander Waugh, known for his work on “The Terror: Infamy” and “True Blood.” The creative team includes Bernadette Caufield, Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, Nena Rodrigue, Lin Qi, Zhao Jilong, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, as well as Rosamund Pike and Robie Uniacke.

From novel to screen
Solving the three-body problem has been a major challenge given the complexity of the original work. Liu Cixin’s novel, which explores themes of science, philosophy and the fragility of human civilization, won international acclaim and won the prestigious Hugo Award.
“The challenge was to capture not only the plot, but also the spirit of the novel, that sense of wonder in the vast cosmos and the possibilities of life beyond Earth,” explains Alexander Wu. The series manages to combine stunning visuals with a deep narrative to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
End to match
The third season of The 3-Part Problem not only marks the end of the series, but also marks the closing of an important chapter in science fiction television. Fans can expect a conclusion that honors Liu Cixin’s legacy and the hard work of his creative team.
“We worked tirelessly to ensure that every episode did justice to Liu Cixin’s vision,” Benioff said.
