'3 Body Problem' Season 2 arrives on Netflix in 2026 (month tbc)
Netflix indicates that 3 Body Problem will return for Season 2 in 2026.
The new season, reportedly filmed in Budapest, will pick up where the first left off and is reported to consist of six episodes inspired by Liu Cixin's sci-fi trilogy.
What to expect from the new season?
Season 2 dives deeper into humanity's scramble as an alien invasion looms closer.
As the official logline puts it: "As the alien invasion nears, humanity prepares, on Earth and elsewhere."
Expect familiar faces like Jess Hong and Benedict Wong to return, plus some new cast members joining the action.
More about the show and its creators
The show is created by David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo (yes, the Game of Thrones guys) and directed by Jeremy Podeswa and Miguel Sapochnik.
Seasons 2 and 3 are reportedly being filmed back-to-back, so no long gap is expected, with some reports indicating a combined total of 11 episodes.
