Netflix’s highly anticipated sci-fi show “3 Body Problem” has faced yet another delay, with the premiere now set for March 22, 2024. This comes after the original debut date was pushed back from 2023 to January 2024, and now to March. The initial delay was accompanied by a teaser trailer, and the latest delay also comes with a new trailer, giving fans a glimpse of what they can expect from the series.
“3 Body Problem” is based on the novel “The Three-Body Problem” by Liu Cixin, the first installment in the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy. Originally released in China in the mid-2000s, the novel gained international acclaim when it was translated into English and published by Tor Books in 2014, earning a Hugo award. The Netflix adaptation was announced in 2020 and has been highly anticipated by fans of the book, as well as sci-fi enthusiasts.
The series is being adapted by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, known for their work on HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” along with screenwriter Alexander Woo. The new trailer provides a first look at the series’ key element, a virtual reality video game called “Three-Body,” which features a mysterious and incredibly shiny VR headset. The trailer introduces the character Jack Rooney, played by John Bradley, who describes the headset as having “no screen, no headphone jack, not even a charging port.” The footage shows Rooney donning the headset and being transported into a hyper-realistic world before being swiftly ejected, teasing viewers with the immersive and enigmatic nature of the series.
The cast includes acclaimed actors such as Benedict Wong and Eiza González, as well as several “Game of Thrones” alumni, including Jonathan Pryce and John Bradley. The star-studded cast, combined with the creative talents behind the adaptation, has generated significant anticipation for the series.
