![]() While Netflix's version of The Three-Body Problem will, for most global audiences at least, probably end up being the definitive version of the story, it's a funny turn of events to have two adaptations of the same story dropping in the same year (the three versions of Pinocchio from 2022 notwithstanding). The series has already been reworked four times in China, once to critical condemnation in 2009, again in 2018, and then in quick succession this past year, with an animated version dropping at the end of 2022 and a live-action series in January. In fact, it won't even be the first adaptation this year. This definitely won't be the first time The Three-Body Problem has been adapted. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Alexander Woo, another executive producer on the series, described it as a “privilege to be adapting one of the great masterpieces of Chinese science-fiction,” continuing that “ The Three-Body Problem trilogy combines so many things I love: rich, multi-layered characters and true existential stakes - all told as an elegant and deeply human allegory.”Ĭixin, for his part, describes the show as his attempt to “tell a story that transcends time and the confines of nations, cultures and races one that compels us to consider the fate of humankind as a whole." Is this the first time The Three-Body Problem has been adapted? ![]()
