TV Series 3 Body Problem

Renewed! (Though it's unclear whether this will be a full season or a miniseries or even a one-shot special as happened with Sense8.)

Three books, right? I understand part of book three happened already but they made it sound like it'd be 3-4 seasons.

Unfortunately, the numbers for 3BP actually weren't great, hence why renewal was in some doubt. The ratings by themselves would be fairly decent except that the show is extremely expensive, the highest per-episode average for Netflix at $20 million per episode. By comparison, the other two hyped prestige shows already released this year, Amazon's Fallout and FX/Hulu's Shogun, each only cost $10-15 million per episode, and both have absolutely crushed 3BP in streaming views and social media presence.

Netflix usually gives some indication of the size of the renewal when they announce a renewal. They gave no such information this time with 3 Body Problem, which is what has led to speculation that it will be a reduced/short order.
