"I have to tell you something… something insane, but true, about all of us. It started a long time ago. Back in 1977 they detected a sequence…called it the wow signal." Netflix has revealed their final official trailer for 3 Body Problem, an adaptation of the sci-fi books of same name from Liu Cixin, which many believe are near impossible to adapt. 3 Body Problem is a series inspired by the renowned story about discovering we are not alone in the universe. From the Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. A young woman's fateful decision in 1960s China reverberates across space and time to a group of brilliant scientists in the present day. As the laws of nature unravel before their eyes five former colleagues reunite to confront the greatest threat in humanity's history. Starring Jess Hong as Jin Cheng, Jovan Adepo as Saul Durand, Eiza González as Auggie Salazar, John Bradley as Jack Rooney, Alex Sharp as Will Downing, Zine Tseng & Rosalind Chao as Ye Wenjie, Ben Schnetzer & Jonathan Pryce, Liam Cunningham as Thomas Wade, Marlo Kelly, Sea Shimooka, Saamer Usmani, and Eve Ridley as Follower. It will be available to watch on March 21st. As a sci-fi geek, I really hope this is amazing! It looks like they're going all out with this. Did they fit in all of the big concepts? We'll find out soon. "How will you be remembered?"
