That’s because Cixin Liu’s trilogy of novels will have been completely adapted.
Netflixhas confirmed that it’s biggest sci-fi launch of 2024 will continue into a second season. However, there are unlikely to be any more episodes from thestreaming servicebeyond that, for a very good reason.
It’s because 3 Body Problem will conclude the story told in Cixin Liu’s trilogy of novels with this latest batch. And that means the show will end.
“We’re thrilled that we get to tell this story through to its epic conclusion,” said the show’s creators and showrunners David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Alexander Woo in a statement.
“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!”
Interestingly, Netflix isn’t calling the next run season 2, as such. It has simply said that it will “return for more all-new episodes”. It is likely it sees 3 Body Problem as a complete mini-series, therefore.
Of course, should it be hugely successful, there’s nothing stopping the streaming service from ordering more – maybe even convincing Liu to plot extra stories set in the same universe. We’re not sure how that will go down with fans of the show and other original novels, though.
Needless to say, considering we were left with somewhat a cliffhanger at the end of the current run, we hope the newly commissioned episodes arrive sooner than later.

“Just like the fans, we can’t wait to see what they have in store,” said Netflix vice president, Peter Friedlander.
