Netflix renews 'The Three Body Problem' for sorrow rather than joy.

The television show that was created by David Benioff and DB Weiss has been successful in terms of viewership, but it has been extremely expensive.

Netflix has made it very plain that it intends to continue with ‘The Three Body Problem’, despite the fact that its announcement has not exactly been that of a second season at the present. This is an unusually long amount of time to announce a renewal, given it has been almost two months since the show’s launch. Make use of. Despite the fact that there is only one season of the series that David Benioff and DB Weiss created, there are inconsistent data regarding the audience for the series. This has even raised fears of the series being canceled.

In the end, things did not turn out that way: Netflix has stated that it has ordered “additional episodes” in order to continue the series, which indicates that the platform does not wish to leave the tale hanging… but, the reports do not come up with a full second season. It is very possible that this ending will distance itself, for practical reasons, from the two books by Liu Cixin that remain to be adapted in this trilogy, namely “The Dark Forest” and “The End of Death.” This is a far cry from the dream that Benioff and Weiss had, which was that “we need at least three, maybe four seasons to tell the complete story.”

After this announcement, produced in the first upfront that Netflix does in its entire history ( upfronts are the presentations in which platforms and channels show advertisers the content for the coming months, in search of advertising contracts, which demonstrates To what extent Netflix gives importance to income from this source) , Netflix has announced that Benioff and Weiss will continue producing fiction for the platform . At the moment, they are completely engrossed in a series that will chronicle the life of James Garfield, the President of the United States of America.

That is to say, it is feasible to think of an agreement to keep the prominent showrunners pleased, which would leave the story of “The problem of the three bodies” unfinished, but there is also no promise to put it on its feet. This is because the showrunners are very expensive. The second season of the second most costly series on the platform, which has cost twenty million dollars per episode, has been completed in its entirety. It has been said by the creators that “We are delighted to be able to tell this story to its epic conclusion,” which once again hints that the announcement that Netflix will make when it finalizes its plans in a few weeks will be a conclusion for the series.

‘The Problem of the 3 Bodies’ has been showing audiences that are difficult to interpret ever since it was first released in the middle of March. This is something that frequently occurs with the series that are crowned the Top 10 on the platform itself. ‘The Gentlemen’ by Guy Ritchie may have been one of the most successful films that Netflix has released so far this year, but the numbers in this instance were not enough to reach that level. The fact that the cost each episode was so expensive gave rise to concerns that the show would be canceled, particularly when one considers Netflix’s long-standing practice of discontinuing projects that do not perform adequately.

Although the second week of ‘The Three Body Problem’ on Netflix has not been very successful, it has undoubtedly been more successful than the first week of the series. It is projected that the science fiction series that is based on the works written by Liu Cixin has received 115.6 million hours of viewing time between March 25 and March 31, which is equivalent to 15.6 million views. Despite the fact that it is a very excellent performance, it is not even close to the spectacularity that ‘The Gentlemen‘ did exhibit. In the end, the series that David Benioff and DB Weiss created took the first spot by a significant margin.

It is true that these are not terrible numbers; nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that this is an exceptionally expensive series. There are rumors that each episode will cost twenty million dollars, which places the series among the ones that have cost Netflix the most money. The platform has a long history of not taking any shortcuts when it comes to canceling items, regardless of how much they have spent in them in terms of manufacturing and promotion. This is the first (and most important) of the signals that suggest that the platform may cancel products in the future.

There are, in point of fact, contemporary examples of cancellations that are akin to the situation described in “The Three Body Problem.” ‘1899’ was one of the most current and popular ones, and there are various reasons for this among them: Initially, it originated from popular creators such as “Dark.” Second, it did not provide viewers with the opportunity to become aware of the conclusion of the first season, which was left completely unresolved. Not only did it have audiences that were slightly smaller than those of ‘The Problem…’ (87.29 million hours in the second week), but it was also far more affordable: 60 million for the entire series, which is less than half of what ‘The Three-Body Problem’ cost.

The completion rate, or the percentage of individuals who watch the entire series, is the most important factor in determining the success of a series on Netflix. This is something that we must keep in mind, regardless of the financial constraints that may be present. The reason for this is that programs that had a solid beginning in terms of audience, such as “Resident Evil,” were not renewed because they only had a 45% rate of renewal. We are able to say that for the time being, and until we receive further information, the renewal of ‘The Three Body Problem’ is hanging by a thread. This is because it is a percentage that Netflix has obviously not yet made public in cases involving the show. However, thread is still considered quantum.

At the end of the previous year and in the first few days of 2023, there has been a lot of discussion on the unending string of cancellations that Netflix has been experiencing with programs that, before to the cancellation, were successful. Once more, comments have been made regarding the extent to which this issue affects the image of Netflix and how it can impact the behavior of users, who may stop daring to start new series out of fear that they would be terminated.

This is the final beheading. ‘1899’ is without a doubt the most noteworthy case that has occurred in recent times. This is primarily due to two reasons: the series is left completely hanging and without resolution, which renders the first season a useless object; and it is an ambitious proposal from the creators of ‘Dark,’ which, on the other hand, had a notable success and told a complete and closed story over the course of three seasons.

However, it is not the only major cancellation that has occurred in recent times; some of the most recent cancellations include “The Warrior Nun,” “The Midnight Club,” “Blockbuster,” “Fate: The Winx Saga,” “The First Death,” and “Space Force.” It was just a few days ago that we were also informed of the cancellation of the animated series “Ultrasecrets,” which had previously shown for two brilliant seasons.

There could be a few causes. In addition to the fact that the series performs below expectations in certain instances, such as “The Life Club. midnight” or “Blockbuster,” the writer Peter Clines authored a lengthy thread on Twitter on January 3 in which he investigated the various reasons for this avalanche of cancellations. Clines’s analysis began with the fact that the series has been canceled. He discussed the paradigm shift in terms of payment to creators in it. In old television, syndication assured repetitions of the series on new screens, which provided actors, directors, scriptwriters, and even technicians with a steady income over time. In modern television, however, technology has made it possible for creators to receive remuneration.
