Netflix has ordered a drama series based on the award-winning Chinese book series “The Three-Body Problem” with David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo set to write and executive produce.

The series order covers all three books in the trilogy — “The Three-Body Problem,” “The Dark Forest,” and “Death’s End,” all of which were written by Liu Cixin. They tell the story of humanity’s first contact with an alien civilization. Netflix struck a deal with The Three-Body Universe and Yoozoo Group for the rights to produce an English-language adaptation of the books.

The project boasts an all-star lineup behind the camera. In addition to Benioff, Weiss, and Woo, Rian Johnson serves as executive producer along with Brad Pitt and Rosamund Pike. Author Liu and accomplished sci-fi writer Ken Liu, who translated the English versions of the first and third books, serve as consulting producers.

not watching this cause they f***ed up GoT. Petty as f***, i know but i dont give a s***

Cautiously in, since they were pretty good in adapting a book before

DnD with another classic

If this is adapted correctly... oh boy we in for a treat.

I really hope they have no career after running GoT

yuri

two goats. real excited for this

With the right material, they can do some good adapting

If the source material is strong they can pull it off cuz GOT seasons 1-4 exist

Looking forward to defending this show against all the petty haters with you bro

Dweebs are gonna be mad when they do a good job with this.

Feel like this is going to be fire or hot garbage, no inbetween.

Just found out about this existing. Why are there so many white people? Isn’t China and Chinese culture pretty important to the narrative here?
