More epic than Game Of Thrones, more mind-bending than Dark, and more thrilling than Westworld — that’s how big is the new sci-fi series ordered by Netflix from the Game Of Thrones creators. GoT creators and showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will head the epic series ordered by Netflix, 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 multiple award-winning novels by Chinese novelist Liu Cixin will be adapted into a larger than life, multi-season series. Liu Cixin and the American translator of the novels, Ken Liu, will also be a part of the creative team as consulting producers.
Giving David Benioff and D.B. Weiss company in the writing department will be Alexander Woo. The three will also executive produce 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.
The three titles in The Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy are — The Three Body-Problem, The Dark Forest, and Death’s End. The narrative spans several generations, and over 450 years, with time jumps and alternate universes adding to the intrigue.
The story chronicles humankind’s first contact with an alien civilization and the quagmire arising from the contact. Suffice to say, it is an ultra-unique story, the likes never attempted into a series before.
Announcing the series in the Netflix press release, Benioff and Weiss were quoted as saying,
“Liu Cixin’s trilogy is the most ambitious science-fiction series we’ve read, taking readers on a journey from the 1960s until the end of time, from life on our pale blue dot to the distant fringes of the universe. We look forward to spending the next years of our lives bringing this to life for audiences around the world.”
