Netflix announced on Wednesday that it had “renewed” “3 Body Problem,” but the streamer notably didn’t refer to the extension as a “Season 2.” Instead, it appears to be more of a case of Netflix ordering “additional episodes” instead of a new, full Season 2 order.

Per a press release, the exact number of seasons and episodes will be announced at a later date.

Netflix has picked up additional episodes of 3 Body Problem to conclude the story which will be created, executive produced and written by the returning trio of David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Alexander Woo.

Additionally, Benioff and Weiss will continue their exclusive partnership with the streamer as their multi-year deal to write, produce and direct new series and films has been extended. Beyond Season 2 of this series, they are also working on the recently announced series Death by Lightning. Woo, who has an overall deal with Netflix, will return as co-creator, executive producer and writer on 3 Body Problem.

This show was horrible. Willing to bet the book and Chinese show are infinitely better.

 

[AJUMP23]

I thought the show was OK. I liked the story, I don't think the delivery was the best.

 

[jason10mm]

I wonder if the murder shenanigans on the chinese side have made netflix cautious.

Can they wrap this thing up in a couple of films or a single season? Not really, IMHO, at least not still pay off alllllllllllllll the time spent with cancer boy. I suppose you could expedite the wallfacers and the "solution" as an ending but it's gonna feel off and require all the really cool shit to be scrapped.

 

[Spyxos]

I dropped out after a few episodes.

 

[Dr.D00p]

Urrgghh...terrible show.

As usual with Netflix fodder, all you need to watch is the first & last episodes. Everything inbetween, is wasted bandwidth.

 

[Bartski]

unbelieveably bad turd of a show

 

[RJMacready73]

The boat slicey bit was class tbf, was hoping it'd get a lot better in S2, tried to the read the original book but got bored and put off by the style of writing

 

[StueyDuck]

A surprise to no one.

Hopefully they either give more episodes or rein in the story for season 2.

The last 3 eps of season 1 kind of shat the bed. Was all over the place and full of inconsistencies. Where the first 5 were decent

I'll watch for more Eiza Gonzalez, she's honestly one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

Hate they ended the OA.

 

[Punished Miku]

I still haven't watched it.

 

[Bartski]

I'll watch for more Eiza Gonzalez, she's honestly one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

not hot enough to save this plot

 

[Kenpachii]

Cool liked the season, can't wait to see what's next.

 

[Revolutionary]

Meh. Show was ok. I read the synposes of the second and third books and there's no way D&D will stick the landing.

I'll watch for more Eiza Gonzalez, she's honestly one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.

I just couldn't buy her as the lead nanowire scientist or whatever she was supposed to be.

Also her character was simply an awful person.

 

[Billbofet]

I noped out after 3/4th of the first episode and watched a full summary on youtube. This saved me about ten hours of watching something I would have hated.
Boat slicey scene looked cool though - not ten hours cool, but cool.

 

[Vyse]

This show was horrible. Willing to bet the book and Chinese show are infinitely better.

Books are much better.

 

[adamsapple]

Besides the boat scene, it was thoroughly forgettable.

 

[dorkimoe]

I loved this so much. I know I know it’s cool to hate anything these guys make now, but I loved this story. Really can’t wait for more

 

[Ironbunny]

Great show. Glad they are making more.

 

[mclaren777]

I watched the first season and I was pretty frustrated by how much they melted the three books together. They will need to cover a SHOCKING amount of content in the final season if they're going to do any justice to the books!

 

[Trilobit]

As long as I get to see the visuals of the third book I don't mind if the writing of the show is subpar.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Think I watched the first 4 episodes and dipped. Never seen a Science Fiction story so gassed but it was actually mid since Prometheus.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I thought it was great. Fuzzy science and spectacle for its own sake aside, it still has more meat to it than a lot of modern sci-fi shows. I'll be watching season 2.

 

[Artoris]

The first episode it looked ok But then it started to get booring I am not sure if I bother to finish it

 

[DeafTourette]

I can't wait!
