The Three-Body Problem, the story of humanity’s first contact with an alien civilization inspired by renowned novel, will be adapted as a Netflix series from David Benioff, D.B. As the year’s pass, the conflict becomes closer and tenser. The aliens on their part have been conducting various forms of espionage over the years causing mysterious cases of deaths, suicides, and disappearances of key scientific figures. The group has broken into two factions: those who want Trisolarians to invade and forcibly improve humanity and those who want the Trisolarians to exterminate humanity. Years later, Ye is the leader of a secret organization of alien invasion supporters.

Written by Chinese author Liu Cixin, the three books in his trilogy tell the story of the first human contact with alien life from the planet called Trisolaris and the conflict between the two species that starts to brew over many years. What is the plot of The Three-Body Problem? Johnson is no stranger to television as he helmed the iconic Breaking Bad episode “Ozymandias” several years ago. It is currently unknown whether Rian Johnson will also serve as a director. I’m thrilled to kick off my partnership with Netflix with this accomplished creative team.”Īttached to the sci-fi project as executive producers are also Star Wars and Knives Out director Rian Johnson as well as actors Brad Pitt and Rosamund Pike.

The Three-Body Problem trilogy combines so many things I love: rich, multi-layered characters and true existential stakes – all told as an elegant and deeply human allegory. “It’s a privilege to be adapting one of the great masterpieces of Chinese science-fiction. We look forward to spending the next years of our lives bringing this to life for audiences around the world.” “Liu Cixin’s trilogy is the most ambitious science-fiction series we’ve read, taking readers on a journey from the 1960s until the end of time, from life on our pale blue dot to the distant fringes of the universe.
