It's also been confirmed that the new Netflix series will debut in 2024.
We finally have our first look at the anticipated new series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and DB Weiss, and Alexander Woo (True Blood) - 3 Body Problem.
In Netflix's major global fan event, TUDUM, the live show was home to never-before-seen footage from some of the streamer's favourites and new releases. One of the major ones being 3 Body Problem, which saw some of the cast in attendance.
They included Jess Hong, Benedict Wong, Jovan Adepo, Alex Sharp and John Bradley, and they introduced an exciting teaser for the series. The teaser marks the first ever footage released from the series and it's safe to say that fans are excited for it.

In the clip, we start to get a sense of how the past, present and future will collide with an alien civilisation but, as with any good snippet, we don't quite get the whole picture of how things will unfold.
What we do get is a glimpse of some of the cast in action, as well as the narrator saying: "As children, we fear the dark. Anything might be out there – the unknown troubles us.
"There are those who say we should not enquire too closely, and to who else might be living in that darkness. Better not to know. But we continue to search. Life looks for life."
