The Three Body Problem Premieres at SXSW
Netflix’s highly-anticipated sci-fi epic, The Three Body Problem, made its debut at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. Based on the trilogy by Cixin Liu, the streaming show was brought to life by Game of Thrones creators Dan Benioff and Dan Weiss. The storyline follows a group of brilliant scientists as they make groundbreaking discoveries, witnessing the laws of science unravel before their eyes. The show is set to premiere on Netflix on March 21.
The Three Body Problem
The Three Body Problem explores Earth’s encounter with an alien civilization originating from a unique solar system. In the realm of physics, the three body problem involves the motion of three point-mass particles under the influence of their gravitational force. This concept mirrors the gravitational interactions among the sun, the Earth, and the moon, happening simultaneously.
The intricate nature of The Three Body Problem delves deep into scientific and physics principles, providing a level of detail rarely seen in most novels. In 2020, Netflix announced its collaboration with David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to adapt the trilogy into a sci-fi TV drama, marking the streaming service’s venture into adapting a non-English literary work.
Partnership with Netflix
Three Body Universe, a creative powerhouse, partnered with Netflix to introduce The Three Body Problem to western audiences. The involvement of prominent global entities in such collaborations signifies a significant moment in the growth of the Chinese entertainment industry in North America and EMEA.

Zhao emphasized the story’s timeless and universal themes, resonating with audiences worldwide and sparking discussions about reality, fears, and hopes for the future.
