A Complete Guide to the 3 Body Problem Cast and Characters
Scientists, detectives, humans.
March 23, 2024
How would you respond to humanity’s gravest threat? Based on the bestselling novels by Cixin Liu, 3 Body Problem is here to explore that very question.
The series begins during China’s Cultural Revolution in the ’60s, when a young woman makes a fateful decision that reverberates across space and time into the present day. When the laws of nature inexplicably unravel, a tight-knit group of brilliant scientists must join forces with an unflinching detective to save humanity.
Created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (Game of Thrones) and Alexander Woo (The Terror, True Blood), 3 Body Problem is an epic drama that redefines sci-fi with its layered mysteries and intense story of human connection. The series unfolds over eight, one-hour episodes directed by Derek Tsang, Andrew Stanton, Minkie Spiro, and Jeremy Podeswa.
Meet the 3 Body Problem Cast
Spanning multiple continents, cultures, and timelines, the series is purposefully global in nature. “This is very much a story about humanity, and humanity’s struggle with a seemingly unsolvable mystery that snowballs into a full-on existential crisis,” said Benioff. “So we wanted to represent, as much as possible, all of humanity. We wanted people from all over the world. We tried to make this a very diverse, international cast to represent the idea that this isn’t just one country’s struggle; it’s a global struggle to survive.”
