Nothing less than one of the most expensive Netflix series ever will be released on March 21, 2024. 3 Body Problem is the new series project from Game of Thrones showrunners DB Weiss and David Benioff and is filming one of the most ambitious science fiction works of recent years: The Trisolaris trilogy by Chinese author Cixin Liu.
Can 3 Body Problem live up to the huge expectations? and keep up with the best sci-fi series of the last few decades? We discuss these and other questions in the podcast and explain why the ambitious Netflix production will divide sci-fi fans.

In the new Netflix series, a group of scientists – the Oxford Five – become embroiled in a series of mysterious incidents, ranging from strange countdowns to a futuristic video game. They have no idea that the greatest crisis in human history is about to unfold. In the podcast we give you a spoiler-free initial assessment of whether and for whom 3 Body Problem is worth it.
While Moviepilot’s biggest science fiction lover Andrea looks at the series as a genre fan, Trisolaris ambassador Max draws comparisons to the original and the first (Chinese) film adaptation Three Body. The Netflix adaptation does a lot of things differently – and can even surpass the original in one point. You can hear more about this in the podcast.
