B. Weiss and Alexander Woo, have just revealed 3 Body Problem will run to three seasons, allowing them to finish telling the story they are adapting from Liu Cixin’s Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy of sci-fi novels. Season one spans time and space to show humans making contact with aliens, the San-Ti.
Despairing of our race’s failings, some humans side with the San-Ti. A group of brilliant physicists, the Oxford Five, meanwhile, become central to efforts to fight back when it appears the earth-bound aliens aren’t too keen on cooperation, beaming the panic-inducing message ‘You Are Bugs’ onto screens around the world. Earth’s would-be new inhabitants are on their way here.
The silver lining is that they are 400 years away. The man who appears to be coordinating effort.
