SHOW bosses have confirmed that a hit Netflix show is going to be renewed after fans panicked thinking it would be axed.
3 Body Problem was the most popular show on the streaming platform when it aired, but fans became nervous about its future after a statement that implied it would only get one more season.
The show creators spoke about the upcoming second series, saying: “We’re thrilled that we get to tell this story through to its epic conclusion.
“Ever since we read the last page of Cixin Liu’s magnificent trilogy, we hoped we’d be able to bring the audience to the end of the universe with us. Here we go!”
The reference to the ‘conclusion’ made it seem as if the sci-fi might wrap up after the second season.
Given 3 Body Problem is based on a trilogy, this shocked viewers, who thought there would be at least three seasons.
But Game of Thrones screenwriters David Benioff and D.B. Weiss who also worked on this project have confirmed that the next installment won’t be the end of the story.
D.B. Weiss told the Hollywood Reporter: “We knew going into this how many hours we need to tell the rest of the story because we’ve got a roadmap through to the end.
“And we have what we need to get to the end as intended from when we started.”
David added: “By the time we finish with the show, it will be seven years we’ve devoted to it.
“We’re now at a place where we get to tell the rest of the story, and, yes, we have enough time to tell the rest of the story the way we want to and that’s immensely gratifying.”
Their new comments imply that there is much more fun to come, so fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
The original bestselling trilogy the show is based on was written by by Chinese writer Liu Cixin, an engineer with an understanding of physics.
Three-Body Problem won Best Novel of the 2015 Hugo, the top honour of the Sci-fi genre.
The Netflix series initially follows the storyline of Liu’s first book but then diverges into its own narrative before setting viewers up for the second book.
Embarking on a riveting journey across continents and timelines, the narrative unfolds in 1960s China, where a pivotal decision by a young woman resonates throughout space and time to the present day.
As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, a team of scientists known as the Oxford Five race against the clock to save the world from catastrophic consequences.
3 Body Problem continuously challenges conventional scientific norms, pushing characters to rethink strategies to figure out how to face humanity’s biggest threat.
