Space is too vast and vast for the human mind to comprehend. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. Given the size of the universe and the great distance between Earth and the nearest star system, even at the speed of light, it would take us five years to arrive.

While the likelihood of intelligent extraterrestrial life visiting Earth on a regular basis is incredibly high, what if it were possible? What would that look like? That’s the dramatic question of The 3 Body Problem. The Netflix series is based on the novel of the same name by Liu Cixin and was developed by Alexander Woo (True Blood) and David Benioff and DB Weiss (Game of Thrones).

3 Body Problem Synopsis

The 3 Body Problem story will cover the entire “Reminiscence of the Earth’s Past” trilogy. In the first novel, Earth awaits an attack from the three-body star system universe, while the second book, The Dark Forest, explores preparations for the inevitable war. The final novel, The End of Death, includes several time jumps for a more expansive story. This takes place over decades, so expect a far-reaching mystery in The 3-Body Problem. The entire 3 Body Problem timeline covers several centuries when humanity waited for the invasion to come, but focuses on specific points within that period.

What makes the story of the 3-Body Problem and the Remembering Earth’s Past book trilogy so popular is that it’s not a typical alien invasion narrative. The invasion in 3 Body Problem is not sudden; It’s an inevitable apocalypse, and humanity is experiencing an existential crisis trying to figure it out. The 3 Body Problem is a bleak story that also involves complex scientific theories, but also fast-paced and remains entertaining. If Benioff and Weiss can get this right, their next big hit after Game of Thrones could be 3 Body Problems.
