From creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo, and inspired by the internationally celebrated novel The Three-Body Problem, comes 3 Body Problem. “The scope and size of it was really exciting,” Woo told Netflix. “Having it rooted in a period of Chinese history was also really exciting.”
Over the course of eight episodes, ‘3 Body Problem’ immerses audiences in mysteries and earth-shattering discoveries, before potentially catastrophic consequences come to life as we know it. As you prepare to embark on this mind-boggling journey spanning continents and timelines — from the 1960s Cultural Revolution in China to the present-day streets of Oxford, England, and the United Nations in New York.
The cast and creators of the Netflix series stepped out on the red carpet at The Paramount Theater to celebrate the highly-anticipated world premiere of the series during opening night at SXSW. Cast attendees included: Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Rosalind Chao, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Alex Sharp, Zine Tseng, and Benedict Wong.
