The Game of Thrones creators' sci-fi show, 3 Body Problem, is reportedly receiving a reduced episode count for seasons 2 and 3, according to a report from What's On Netflix. The report suggests that season 2 will consist of six episodes, while season 3 will likely be just five. The first chapter of the series, which reportedly cost Netflix $233 million, was reportedly set at least $29 million and spent three weeks in the top ten. While no reason was given for this, it may be possible that this reduced episode is an attempt to trim down the cost of the show. The show is currently being aired on Netflix and is based on a book by Liu Cixin.
