Netflix has officially announced the 3 Body Problem Season 2 renewal for David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ latest sci-fi epic drama. This comes after after nearly two months since the series debuted its 8-episode first installment, which spent seven weeks in the streamer’s Top 10 TV Shows.
“We’re thrilled that we get to tell this story through to its epic conclusion,” Benioff, Weiss, and co-creator Alexander Woo said in a joint statement (via Tudum). “Ever since we read the last page of Cixin Liu’s magnificent trilogy, we hoped we’d be able to bring the audience to the end of the universe with us. Here we go!”
