With 3 Body Problem now available on Netflix, you may be wondering how big of a commitment the first season is. Here’s a look at how many episodes of the show you can expect to watch.

Years in the making, Netflix’s 3 Body Problem adaptation is now out in the wild. Helmed by former Game of Thrones showrunners, the series deals with existentialism in the face of humanity’s greatest discovery.

With a stacked cast, jaw-dropping production value, and a gripping narrative to keep you hooked all the way through, Season 1 certainly leaves an impression. But just how many episodes are there?

Here’s what you need to know about the number of episodes in 3 Body Problem on Netflix.

How many episodes of 3 Body Problem are there?

3 Body Problem on Netflix has eight episodes in total.

Clocking in at 439 minutes (just under seven and a half hours), the first season can certainly be binged in a day. Though with its lofty ideas and science-heavy exposition, you may be better off digesting this one a bit slower.

In case you’re curious, the titles and runtimes of all eight episodes are as follows:

  • Season 1 Episode 1: ‘Countdown’ – 60 minutes
  • Season 1 Episode 2: ‘Red Coast’ – 63 minutes
  • Season 1 Episode 3: ‘Destroyer of Worlds’ – 53 minutes
  • Season 1 Episode 4: ‘Our Lord’ – 44 minutes
  • Season 1 Episode 5: ‘Judgement Day’ – 57 minutes
  • Season 1 Episode 6: ‘The Stars Our Destination’ – 48 minutes
  • Season 1 Episode 7: ‘Only Advance’ – 58 minutes
  • Season 1 Episode 8: ‘Wallfacer’ – 56 minutes

Currently, it’s far too early to tell if future seasons – if they happen at all – will stick with an identical eight-episode structure, or if things will change over the course of the full adaptation.

Rest assured, we’ll update you here with further details as they emerge. In the meantime, be sure to brush up on our other 3 Body Problem coverage below:
