3 Body Problem Season 2: Top 5 theories we are waiting to be proved right

Disclaimer: 3 Body Problem Season 2 theories, according to the writer, and spoilers for S1 ahead!

The first season of Netflix's 3 Body Problem has created a buzz among viewers, leaving them eager for more. Although an official announcement about Season 2 hasn't been made, the show's creators, David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo, have dropped hints that they're getting ready for what's to come.

They have a wealth of material to work with, thanks to The Dark Forest and Death's End, which are packed with convincingly chaotic plot points. The next season promises battles, revolutionary sci-fi ideas, and surprising turns.

Top 5 theories for 3 Body Problem Season 2

1) Saul’s Wallfacer struggles will lead to Dark Forest deterrence

After Season 1, Saul is given a role as a Wallfacer with unlimited resources to create a clandestine plan to fight the San-Ti. Based on the books, he's likely to misuse this chance before being compelled to get serious about it.

In "The Dark Forest," Luo Ji, who is like Saul in the story, doesn't fully grasp his purpose until he has a close brush with death and a mysterious chat about the way societies work across the universe. His idea, dark forest deterrence, turns into the best defense for people.

Looking ahead to Season 2, we might see Saul having a similar moment of understanding. 3 Body Problem could lead up to him realizing the importance of his role and coming up with a brilliant strategy, much like Luo Ji does.

2) Wallbreakers will cripple the Wallfacers’ plans

The Earth-Trisolaris Organization, known as the ETO, is a group that fights against Wallfacers by figuring out and breaking down their strategies. The stories in the books include tough fights, people not being honest, and playing mind games.

If the 3 Body Problem show follows the books, there might be the known character Tatiana who shows up again. She would be someone who helps in these battles. So, in Season 2, we could see a lot of spy-like battles happening.

3) A major time jump will accelerate humanity’s technological growth

The San-Ti fleet is not going to arrive for another 400 years, so there will be a big time jump in the story. In the books, characters go into hibernation to deal with this. This means Wade and possibly others like Saul, Raj, and Jin will wake up at a much later time on 3 Body Problem.

This way of telling the story lets the showrunners use cool, futuristic space tech without having to explain everything in detail. It's like how House of the Dragon jumps in time to show big changes in the world.

So, get ready for a time skip that will change the way 3 Body Problem's world looks and how countries relate to each other in space. It's going to be big!

4) The Droplet attack will be Season 2’s Red Wedding

The creators of Game of Thrones, Benioff and Weiss, hinted at a big moment in 3 Body Problem that could be as shocking as the "Red Wedding." The most likely event? The Droplet attack.

"The Dark Forest" is an alien probe, first appearing as a harmless metal sphere. It quickly wipes out almost the entire human space fleet. It does this by using intense G-forces to tear the ships apart and turn the crew members into liquid.

This scene might become the climax of Season 2, showing that even with our technology, we're no match for the smarter alien race, the San-Ti.

5) Will’s fate and the importance of fairy tales in humanity’s survival

In 3 Body Problem Season 1, it appeared Will had reached the end of his journey. But, "Death's End" hints that his story might not be over yet.

In the books, his character, Yun Tianming, gets brought back to life by the San-Ti and shares key information with humans through fairy tales. The 3 Body Problem show has dropped hints about this.

Will loves fairy tales, and Jin gives him a storybook. If this theory is right, Will could come back in a surprising way, carrying a secret that could change everything for humanity's survival. So, don't write Will off just yet.
