Netflix’s next sci-fi epic 3 Body Problem marks the return of Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss to genre television. The new eight-part drama sees the duo team up with executive producer Alexander Woo to tackle an ambitious adaptation of Liu Cixin’s Hugo and Nebula award-winning novel 'The Three-Body Problem'.
However, the show’s director Derek Tsang (who helms the first two episodes) tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Dune 2 on the cover, that there will be some big changes to the book. The writers have essentially broken the first book into eight episodes, taking what he says isn’t "an easy read" and opening it up to create an ensemble piece that is more accessible.
