“What we are hoping to do is to convey the experience — if not necessarily the exact details — of the novel onto the screen,” Woo said. “What stayed, we hope, is the sense of wonderment and the sense of scope, of scale, where the problems are no longer just the problems of an individual or even a nation, but of an entire species.”
Netflix also released a character guide for the first time that explained which actors were playing which roles.
The series is the first drama series from Benioff and Weiss since HBO’s Thrones concluded its eight-season run in 2019.
The show’s description: “A young woman’s fateful decision in 1960s China reverberates across space and time into the present day. When the laws of nature inexplicably unravel before their eyes, a close-knit group of brilliant scientists join forces with an unorthodox detective to confront the greatest threat in humanity’s history.”
The series stars Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Rosalind Chao, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Marlo Kelly, Alex Sharp, Sea Shimooka, Zine Tseng, Saamer Usmani, Benedict Wong and Jonathan Pryce.
3 Body Problem premieres March 21 on Netflix.
