3 Body Problem is not, strictly speaking, David Benioff and DB Weiss’s first series since wrapping up Game of Thrones. The first project of their lucrative deal with Netflix was, improbably, The Chair, a sharp, underrated campus satire which they executive produced. It was cancelled after one season, its modest budget perhaps now funding a single second of CGI in this exceedingly costly sci-fi series, created by Benioff and Weiss along with Alexander Woo.
《三体》严格来说,并不是大卫•贝尼奥夫(David Benioff)和D•B•韦斯(DB Weiss)在结束《权力的游戏》之后推出的首部作品。他们与Netflix签下的第一份大合同的首个项目,出人意料地,是《The Chair》——一部尖锐且未受到足够评价的校园讽刺剧,由他们担任执行制片。该剧在播出一季后便被取消,其不大的预算现在可能刚好够在这部耗资巨额的科幻系列里制作一秒钟的CGI。《三体》剧集由贝尼奥夫、韦斯和亚历山大•伍(Alexander Woo)共同创作。
