If you’re always in the mood for a mind-bending sci-fi series with high stakes, Netflix’s 3 Body Problem will be your cup of tea. Based on Liu Cixin’s hit novel of the same name, this mystery series will take Netflix by storm later this year, and the first trailer will take you on one wild ride.

Netflix’s official logline describes 3 Body Problem as a thrilling story that redefines sci-fi drama with its layered mysteries and genre-bending high stakes, which centers on five former colleagues reuniting to confront the greatest threat in humanity’s history.

3 Body Problem hails from the Game of Thrones duo David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, plus True Blood’s Alexander Woo. Benioff and Weiss serve as showrunners and executive producers, while Woo has been credited as co-creator, executive producer, and writer.

This creative trio managed to attract an impressive ensemble cast, which includes Jovan Adepo, John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, Eiza González, Jess Hong, Marlo Kelly, Alex Sharp, Sea Shimooka, Zine Tseng, Saamer Usmani, Benedict Wong, Jonathan Pryce, Rosalind Chao, Ben Schnetzer, and Eve Ridley.

Expectations are running high for this show, since it’s one of Netflix’s most expensive ones yet, with a reported budget of $25 million per episode. It will premiere on this streaming service on March 21.
