New Netflix sci-fi series 3 Body Problem is racing up the streamer's charts. Per FlixPatrol, the show is currently number two in the US and the UK after its first weekend on the platform (it was released on March 21). The series has also reached the number one spot around the world, including in Australia, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa, and Thailand.
Based on the novel The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin, the series was adapted by Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and True Blood writer Alexander Woo. It follows a group of scientists who must make sense of a world rapidly falling apart at the seams due to one single decision made 60 years earlier in post-Cultural Revolution China. The cast includes Game of Thrones alum John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, and Jonathan Pryce, as well as Benedict Wong and Eiza González.
