One of the biggest issues with new shows on streaming services is premature cancellation. You spend a season or two getting invested in a story and its characters only to discover that it has gotten an unceremonious ax. Sometimes, the show doesn’t even get a chance to come out at all before a streamer drops it from their roster. We’ve seen it happen with many streamers, including Netflix. (I will not forgive them for canceling Archive 81.) But, fans of 3 Body Problem won’t have this issue. Netflix has renewed 3 Body Problem for season two and says it will give the show a currently undisclosed amount of seasons to complete the story.
According to Variety, creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Alexander Woo said in a statement that they will “get to tell this story through to its epic conclusion.” Benioff has previously stated that it would take three or four seasons to tell the complete tale. The show draws its material from Liu Cixin’s trilogy of novels, so perhaps the show will follow suit with three seasons. We will just have to wait and see when Netflix follows up on this announcement.
