While most of the trailer seems faithful to the epic novel, we’re not sure what Eiza González is up to.
Netflix finally gave sci-fi fans their first look at the highly-anticipated adaptation of Cixin Liu’s groundbreaking novel The Three-Body Problem with a trailer debut at TUDUM. Now simply titled 3 Body Problem, the show’s first 90 second trailer teases the story’s most pivotal moments, from Ye Wenjie (which is who we think Jess Hong is playing) deciding to send a message out into the universe to the exploration of the trippy virtual reality “Three Body” game. But what might be most intriguing to devotees of Cixin Liu’s trilogy is what the seemingly brand new characters played by series stars Eiza González, Jovan Adepo, and Alex Sharp are up to…
3 Body Problem was created for Netflix by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and The Terror: Infamy EP Alexander Woo. Netflix’s official synopsis for the series says, “A young woman’s fateful decision in 1960s China reverberates across space and
time to a group of brilliant scientists in the present day. As the laws of nature unravel before
their eyes, five former colleagues reunite to confront the greatest threat in humanity’s history.
