‘The Three-Body Problem’ Netflix Series is doomed to fail as Game of Thrones showrunners are hired

D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have decided to leave Westeros for good. The showrunners of Game of Thrones are ready for their next project. Benioff and Weiss will now work on a live-action series for Netflix. It will be based on a science fiction series by Liu Cixin called The Three-Body Problem.

Here’s all you need to know about Weiss and Benioff’s upcoming blockbuster Netflix series.

Role of Benioff and Weiss in The Three-Body Problem

Fans didn’t get the ending of Game of Thrones that they deserved. But maybe Weiss and Beioff will take care of that in their upcoming project.

The Three-Body Problem trilogy is collectively called Remembrance of Earth’s Past. The story was first published in 2006 in a science fiction magazine. In 2008, it was published as a book. Now, The Three-Body Problem is all set to release on Netflix.

Netflix has got the rights to make an adaptation of the trilogy. This will expand Netflix’s sci-fi offerings. True Blood’s Alexander Woo will also be a part of the show along with Weiss and Benioff. The executive producers of the show will be Rian Johnson and Ram Bergman.

Cixin will be the consulting producers of The Three-Body Problem. Ken Liu wrote the English translation of the trilogy. He will also be a consulting producer. Weiss and Benioff said,

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. We look forward to spending the next years of our lives bringing this to life for audiences around the world.

Release Date

There is no premiere date set for The Three-Body Problem yet. It will take several years before we get to see the upcoming project on Netflix.
