Netflix had to delay the release of3 Body Problemfor almost a year to add one more scene
3 Body Problemis based on the book trilogy,Remembrance of Earth’s Pastby Liu Cixin which originally came out in China back in 2008. The showrunners of the series, David Benioff, Dan Weiss, and Alexander Woo recently appeared for an interview withThe Hollywood Reporterand revealed that although the series was ready for release back in January 2023, they decided to add just one 5 minute scene which eventually led to a delay of almost a whole year. Dan Weiss revealed the details of the scene and what led to the delay of a whole year. He said,
“We got the scene written the day before the strike. It was literally five pages, but we really thought it was worth doing. Netflix was great about it. It would have been very easy for them to be like, ‘You have a finished show that is ready to air, for us to hold that [for a scene that’s] five minutes of two people in a bar.”

The producer ofThe Witchertalks about what went wrong with the series
Beau DeMayo who is the producer of Netflix’s iconic fantasy drama series,The Witcheronce revealed in aQ&A sessionon hisInstagram storiesabout how he felt with the writers of the series. Unlike the showrunners and writers of3 Body Problemwho want to keep the series as close to the texts, the writers ofThe Witcherdo not even respect the original novels let alone follow their storylines. DeMayo said,
“I’ve been on show – namely Witcher – where some of the writers were not or actively disliked the books and games even actively mocking the source material. It’s a recipe for disaster and bad morale. Fandom as a litmus test checks egos, and makes all the long nights worth it.”
