'3 Body Problem' Will End With Season 3 on Netflix

3 Body Problem is ending after three seasons.

The sci-fi adaptation, which debuted in March, is planning to air second and third seasons before coming to an end, the streamer confirmed at Netflix’s FYSEE panel on Friday (May 31), via The Wrap.

The update comes after the show was renewed mid-May during Netflix’s upfront presentation in New York City, although there was some confusion about how long it would be extended.

“We’re thrilled that we get to tell this story through to its epic conclusion,” creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and Alexander Woo said in a joint statement at the time.

“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!”

Cixin Liu’s “Remembrances of Earth’s Past” trilogy is composed of “The Three-Body Problem,” “The Dark Forest” and “Death’s End,” so the three seasons may reflect those three books.

3 Body Problem is based on one woman’s fateful decision in 1960s China during the Cultural Revolution, a decision which intertwines with a group of Oxford friends decades later who find themselves roped into confronting an alien threat that has the potential to destroy humanity, via the official logline.
