A new update on 3 Body Problem Season 2 has surfaced, indicating that the sci-fi show’s next installment’s release date window is on the horizon. The news arrives after production on the upcoming season wrapped earlier this year. The recent update has sparked significant excitement among fans.
3 Body Problem Season 2 wraps filming
Netflix has seemingly finished shooting the second season of its sci-fi drama 3 Body Problem. The streamer has confirmed that the series has entered the post production phase. The production team concluded work in January 2026, in Budapest, Hungary, where filming had been underway since last summer.
The wrap marked the end of months of work for both returning and newly added cast. Core cast members such as Jess Hong, Benedict Wong, Liam Cunningham, Marlo Kelly, and Ellie de Lange were present for the final days on set. Meanwhile, several members shared behind-the-scenes images from the closing stages of production. Season 2 is also expanding its lineup of directors, with Miguel Sapochnik joining the project, alongside returning director Jeremy Podeswa.
Netflix confirmed that the new episodes will arrive later this year during its What Next? presentation. As of now, no release date has been confirmed, according to What’s on Netflix. However, the scale of the visual effects suggests the season is more likely to arrive toward the end of the year. Netflix has also shared a brief teaser about what lies ahead, with a logline noting, “As the alien invasion nears, humanity prepares — on Earth and elsewhere.”
Netflix has also confirmed that the series will conclude with a third season. Seasons 2 and 3 are planned to shoot largely back-to-back, with production moving from England to Hungary after the first season. According to Collider, filming began last July and is expected to continue through August 2027, with a break scheduled between the two seasons.
Previously, the show’s creative team teased, “The tone really changes once you get to the second season. It’s much bigger. Things get wilder, the conflicts get more cosmic.”
