‘3 Body Problem' Season 2 Just Took a Step Forward

‘3 Body Problem' Season 2 Just Took a Step Forward

Gizmodo4 days ago
Netflix's dazzling and complex Liu Cixin adaptation 3 Body Problem was one of io9's top TV shows of 2024. After its first season, we still had lots of questions about what would happen next—there's the small matter of that impending alien invasion, for one thing—so it was good news when creators David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo confirmed two more seasons were on the way.
But that was over a year ago. Since then, we've heard nary a peep about what's going on with 3 Body Problem—until today. Two new series regulars have officially joined the series: Claudia Doumit (The Boys, Gen V) as Captain Van Rijn, and Ellie De Lange (Run Away, Wolf Hall) as Ayla.

The first season drew mostly from the first and second books in the Chinese author's Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy, though it adapted and altered the story to fit a more global canvas.
If casting is hitting the trades, that must mean there's some major forward momentum on the second installment. When might we expect 3 Body Problem season two? Only Netflix knows, but we'll keep you posted as we learn more.

Hollywood A-lister 'calls out' Meghan Markle and 'questions authenticity'

Meghan Markle has been "called out" by a Hollywood A-lister after the Duchess of Sussex was deemed the "new Martha Stewart". However, the real Martha Stewart took umbrage at the comparison, with the 83-year-old stating: "I hope she knows what she's talking about." As reported by the Daily Mail, she said: "Meghan, I don't really know very well. I hope she knows what she's talking about' Read more: Expert advice on the three things you need to check on your payslip to avoid losing money She added of the Duchess: 'Authenticity, to me, is everything, and to be authentic and knowledgeable about your subject matter is extremely important." Her comments come after Markle debuted her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, earlier this year. However, last month it was revealed the series failed to crack the streamer's top 300 shows. The show was described by Netflix as following the Duchess of Sussex while she "invites friends and famous guests to a beautiful California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips." The docuseries saw the 43-year-old share her "personal tips and tricks", while "embracing playfulness over perfection" and "highlighting how to create beauty in unexpected ways". The lifestyle programme was quickly lambasted, with Marina Hyde from The Guardian writing: "The mildest way to describe this show is as a ghastly artefact of a particular cultural era that recently met its apocalypse." Newly released figures from Netflix show it has been watched 5.3 million times, and while that may seem impressive on the surface, it shockingly ranks it number 383 in the list of the streaming service's most-viewed shows. For context, it is ranked alongside the second series of the BBC series Peaky Blinders and series four of Suits, which also starred Meghan at the time. The show has an abysmal rating of 36% on the aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes and 3.2 on IMDb. The show's reception left many wondering if Netflix would even bother continuing their partnership with the Duchess and Prince Harry, after signing a reported $100 million deal with the platform in 2020. Undeterred, the streaming juggernaut has renewed the saccharine show for a second season, with Meghan taking to Instagram to share the news earlier this year. She wrote "Oh, how I love ASMR! If you're loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up in Season 2! "Thanks for joining the party, and an endless thanks to the amazing team and crew who helped bring it all to life!'

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the streaming giant announced, 'It's their moment! KPop Demon Hunters is Netflix's most-watched original animated film of ALL TIME.' This feat has increased the chances of a sequel to follow, in addition to the high demand from fans for one. With KPop Demon Hunters becoming one of the top movies on Netflix, fans have been calling for a sequel to happen. This is also due to the somewhat cliffhanger ending of the movie.

Yet, this has led to fans hoping for the character to come back. Previously, while speaking to Screen Rant, director Maggie Kang addressed the chances of a potential sequel. When asked about whether a Part 2 can happen, she told the outlet, 'Always. There are always side stories, and there are things we've thought of while making this one.' Kang further added that the movie left 'a lot of questions' unanswered. Thus, according to her, 'there are a lot of pockets that we can explore.' Originally reported by Ishita Verma on SuperHeroHype.
