And that end image, the ending of the book, is something that we\u2019re all deeply, deeply excited about because it ties everything together in such a beautiful way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will take more than two seasons. But whether it takes three or four or some other number, it\u2019s hard to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear at this point whether the lack of certainty regarding the number of seasons means the creative trio will now have to limit their plans, and fit the story into two seasons, or whether it means Netflix is committed to telling the story across as many seasons as it takes.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"ba44c3877a27dee0719d5588834af548d33f63a3\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"ba44c3877a27dee0719d5588834af548d33f63a3\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <p><strong>3 Body Problem is available to stream on Netflix now. <a title=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/gb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sign up for Netflix from \u00a34.99 a month<\/a>.
