Netflix's long-awaited sci-fi series “3 Body Problem” finally has a full trailer after a short teaser was released last year. This new trailer is over two minutes long and is full of exciting moments and tantalizing clues. Check it out below.
The series is based on a successful book series by Chinese author Liu Cixin. The showrunners include David Benioff and DB Weiss, formerly of Game of Thrones. Yes, everyone hates them because of the ending to HBO's fantasy epic, but here's the thing. 3 Body Problem is the first novel in the completed Remembrance of Earth's Past series, and the earlier seasons of Game of Thrones were absolutely iconic when working on pre-existing material. So that could very well be the case, even if there were delays.
As for the plot, it's complicated and difficult to discuss without getting into spoilers. The books are out there if you can't wait until the series' March 21 release date. As a note, the clunky title actually refers to a common problem in both classical physics and quantum physics, involving Newton's laws of motion and universal gravity. In other words, it's hard science fiction, but the books contain plenty of action and mystery elements, and the series seems to follow suit. Expect lots of advanced technology and supernatural weirdness.
3 Body Problem stars Benedict Wong, Eiza González and several Game of Thrones alums including Jonathan Pryce and John Bradley. In addition to Benioff and Weiss, screenwriter Alexander Woo is on board as co-showrunner. Woo is best known for his work on True Blood and The Terror and other well-respected series.
