Miguel Sapochnik, the maestro behind Game of Thrones’ bloodiest ballet, Battle of the Bastards, is reuniting with David Benioff and Dan Weiss to helm Netflix’s most audacious sci-fi saga, reports What’s on Netflix. Season 2 of 3 Body Problem is officially assembling its Avengers of Westeros alumni. Sapochnik’s knack for choreographing large-scale chaos fits perfectly for a story about civilizations clashing across light-years. One might say Netflix just leveled up from planetary stakes to cosmic ones.
It is not just Miguel Sapochnik. Catherine Goldschmidt, who shot House of the Dragon with enough firelight to make dragons blush, joins him behind the lens. Together, they form a dynamic duo prepped for visual grandeur, think The Last of Us level cinematography with wormholes and alien physics. As if to say, if season 1 felt vast, season 2 might as well come with its own gravity field. Game of Thrones fans, welcome to your new obsession: Thrones in space.
While Miguel Sapochnik and Catherine Goldschmidt aim to bend space-time on screen, Netflix is quietly plotting a production marathon that could rival Westeros’ own game of thrones, this time in Budapest.
3 Body Problem gathers momentum for its next cosmic chapter
The clock is ticking, or maybe expanding, in Budapest, Hungary, where filming for Seasons 2 and 3 is set to run until 2027. Ted Sarandos teased a 2026 release, proving Netflix is playing the long game with Liu Cixin’s galaxy-spanning tale. Rumors swirl of 11 episodes split across the two seasons. With table reads done and cameras prepping, it is clear: the 3 Body Problem universe is about to get denser, both in narrative gravity and Game of Thrones alumni per square mile.

With former Game of Thrones cast members reportedly joining the cosmic fray, fans can expect a reunion tour in deep space. If season 1 felt cerebral, season 2 is shaping up to be an emotional supernova. Alien invasions? Existential dread? Betrayals on a planetary scale? Sounds like Game of Thrones, but with fewer swords and more quantum entanglements. This is not just a show anymore; it is Netflix’s biggest gamble in recreating appointment television in a post-dragon world.
