Meanwhile, Rosalind Chao (Sweet Tooth), Eiza González (Extrapolations), Jess Hong (The Brokenwood Mysteries), Marlo Kelly (Home and Away), Alex Sharp (One Life), Sea Shimooka (Arrow), Zine Tseng, Saamer Usmani (Succession), Benedict Wong (Avengers: Endgame) and Jovan Adepo (Watchmen) all also star.
Speaking to Netflix Tudum, Alexander Woo, the show’s co-creator and executive producer, said of what fans can expect: “What we are hoping to do is to convey the experience – if not necessarily the exact details – of the novel onto the screen.
“What stayed, we hope, is the sense of wonderment and the sense of scope, of scale, where the problems are no longer just the problems of an individual or even a nation, but of an entire species.”
3 Body Problem will debut on Netflix on 21st March 2024. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
