3 Body Problem Ending Explained: What The Cast And Creatives Say About The Characters’ Next Steps
Warning: The following contains spoilers for 3 Body Problem Season 1.
The universe is still in danger at the end of 3 Body Problem Season 1, but there is hope humanity will prevail. Jin’s (Jess Hong) first attempt to send a human–Will (Alex Sharp)–into space to do reconnaissance on the San-Ti failed when a tether attaching the vessel with Will’s semi-conscious frozen brain to a nanofiber balloon snapped after the third atom bomb detonation to propel the vessel along its path. Will’s frozen brain went skedaddling off into deep space to an unknown fate.
Jin will have to come up with another plan to try and save humanity from the incoming aliens that wish to wipe out our existence. She’ll have help from Saul (Jovan Adepo), who was named Wallfacer–one of three critical thinkers tasked with coming up with a plan to beat the San-Ti who can never reveal their plans out loud without risking the San-Ti discovering their ideas.
