Netflix hit 3 Body Problem has added two new recruits for its second season.
Back in May, I was thrilled to learn that my favorite sci-fi series got another season, thanks to the streamer. It turns out, it had garnered immense love from both viewers and critics worldwide, landing a spot among the top 10 shows in an impressive 93 countries!
Netflix recently revealed that Claudia Doumit from “The Boys” has been added to the cast for season two as Captain Van Rijn, and Ellie de Lange will play the role of Ayla in the upcoming season.
The group will become part of an ensemble featuring Jovan Adepo from ‘Watchmen’, Saamer Usmani from ‘Inventing Anna’, and Rosalind Chao, who starred in ‘Mulan’. They will be portraying the character of Ye Wenjie in a contemporary setting.
The series titled “3-Body Problem” is inspired by the award-winning science fiction trilogy, “The Remembrance of Earth’s Past,” authored by Cixin Liu. In its first season, David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo served as the showrunners.
The story “Three-Body Problem” unfolds across two distinct epochs. In the initial timeline, we encounter Ye Wenjie, a brilliant young astrophysicist, who is forced to serve in the Chinese military during the Cultural Revolution.
Tormented by the tragic death of her father, Ye Wenjie finds herself assigned to a clandestine military facility, where scientists are endeavoring to establish communication with extraterrestrial beings.
Currently, a team of researchers is working diligently to explore and understand various enigmatic occurrences that seem to be linked to Dr. Ye Wenjie’s actions during the Cold War period.
After the announcement of the second season, the trio of showrunners for 3 Body Problem subtly suggested that this would bring the story to its conclusion.
They expressed their excitement because they get to finish telling this captivating tale right up to the end,” as stated.
Since finishing the final pages of Cixin Liu’s awe-inspiring trilogy, our goal has been to take our viewers on a journey that ends at the edge of the cosmos. Let’s embark on this adventure together!
All episodes of 3 Body Problem are available to stream now on Netflix.
