Netflix’s ‘Three-Body Problem’ is based on the best sci-fi novels trilogy of the 21st century – ‘The Remembrance of Earth’s Past’, better know by the name of the first novel, The Three-Body Problem. The Dark Forest, and Death’s End are the titles for the next two novels in the series. GoT creators and showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss head the epic series. The multiple award-winning novels by Chinese novelist Liu Cixin are being adapted into a larger than life, multi-season series.

Alexander Woo has written the adaptation, along with David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. The three are also executive-producing the series, along with Rian Johnson, Brad Pitt and Rosamund Pike. The Three Body Problem has won major reader appreciation, for its riveting, edge of the seat premise, dealing with time and space travel.
