TV shoot of 鈥楾hree-Body鈥 complete

Filming has been completed for 鈥淭hree-Body,鈥 a live-action TV drama adaptation of Liu Cixin鈥檚 Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel 鈥淭he Three-Body Problem.鈥

The show鈥檚 official social media account broke the news on Monday in an announcement along with a promotional video, which, however, did not specify the date of release.

鈥淭he Three-Body Problem鈥 is the first book of a trilogy that revolves around a physicist鈥檚 contact with the Trisolaran civilization existing in a three-sun system and the centuries-long clashes that follow between earthlings and the aliens.

Chinese sci-fi fans are looking forward to the adaptation of the critically acclaimed trilogy into movies and TV dramas. An animated adaptation of 鈥淭he Three-Body Problem,鈥 inaugurated last year as a project by the Chinese online video sharing platform Bilibili, is scheduled for online release in 2021.

鈥淭he Wandering Earth,鈥 a sci-fi short story by Liu, was turned into a 2019 blockbuster film that generated a total China box office revenue of 4.68 billion yuan (US$716 million). The film bolstered passion for the sci-fi genre among Chinese audiences and across the film industry.
