“This was indistinguishable from reality.” Netflix has revealed another Geeked Week preview for one of their upcoming sci-fi series. They’ve debuted a quick new promo for 3 Body Problem, an adaptation of the sci-fi books of same name from Liu Cixin. It’s a clip but there’s also 30-seconds of teaser footage at the start, complimenting the first teaser from the summer. 3 Body Problem is a new series inspired by the renowned and epic book trilogy, which tells the story of what happens when humanity discovers we are not alone in the universe. It’s the next big new project from the Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, and it looks like it will be worth the wait! Currently set to debut in early 2024 – view the first trailer here. It’s starring Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Marlo Kelly, Alex Sharp, Sea Shimooka, Zine Tseng, Benedict Wong, Saamer Usmani, and Jonathan Pryce, along with Rosalind Chao as the astrophysicist Ye Wenjie. The quick clip features John Bradley and Jess Hong experimenting with a shiny sci-fi “alternate reality” headset. Check it out and stay tuned for updates.
