Netflix has finally released an in-depth look at its upcoming sci-fi series, 3 Body Problem, in a newly released trailer. Adapted from Liu Cixin’s acclaimed Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy, the show delves into the repercussions of humanity confronting an imminent alien invasion. The trailer premiered at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and Netflix has made it available online as well.

Alexander Woo, one of the show’s creators, emphasized the team’s dedication to capturing the essence of Cixin’s novels on screen. “What we are hoping to do is to convey the experience–if not necessarily the exact details–of the novel onto the screen,” Woo told Netflix’s tudum.com. “What stayed, we hope, is the sense of wonderment and the sense of scope, of scale, where the problems are no longer just the problems of an individual or even a nation, but of an entire species.” Check out the trailer below.

Netflix also surprised fans with a character guide, introducing the actors behind the roles in 3 Body Problem for the first time. The ensemble cast features Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Rosalind Chao, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Marlo Kelly, Alex Sharp, Sea Shimooka, Zine Tseng, Saamer Usmani, Benedict Wong, and Jonathan Pryce.

3 Body Problem also marks the return of Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to the drama series arena since the conclusion of their iconic HBO series in 2019.

The series, set against the backdrop of a young woman’s pivotal decision in 1960s China, promises a gripping narrative that transcends time and space. As the laws of nature unravel before humanity’s eyes, a group of brilliant scientists collaborates with an unconventional detective to confront an unprecedented threat to the history of humankind.

3 Body Problem is set for a March 21 global premiere on Netflix.
