What’s Next for 3 Body Problem?


Liu Cixin’s book trilogy and season one’s hints comprise a map of where a potential second season may be headed.

If Benioff, Weiss, and Woo stay true to the story of Luo Ji, Saul’s parallel in the books, expect him to fumble his responsibilities and opt to spend the unlimited Wallfacer budget living the nihilistic high life. Staying faithful to this would mean the showrunners don’t need to slog through centuries of exposition to establish the huge jumps in technology that allow humanity to travel through space — so expect a highly convenient House of the Dragon-stylefast-forward at some point in the next season. As we found out from Mike Evans reading “Hansel and Gretel” and “Little Red Riding Hood” to his lord, the San-Ti are unable to understand metaphor, meaning they’re ill-equipped to recognize how fairy tales (or jokes) could mask something much more important.
