Eiza Gonzalez (

"Three-Body Problem". The show will be adapted by
"Game of Thrones" co-creators
David Benioff and

The book series is set against a sprawling backdrop. The first book tells the story of Ye Wenjie, who, following her father's death at the hands of the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution, attempts to help aliens invade Earth, while different factions on Earth plan different ways of welcoming the extra-terrestrials.
The book was first serialized in
"Science Fiction World" in 2006 before being published in 2008. It became one of the most popular sci-fi novels in China, receiving the Chinese Science Fiction Yinhe in 2006. It was translated into English, and became the first Asian novel ever to win a Hugo Award for Best Novel.
"The Terror: Infamy" co-creator
Alexander Woo will write and executive produce alongside Benioff and Weiss. Other executive producers include
Rosamund Pike, Robie Uniacke, Rian Johnson and
Ram Bergman.
Gonzalez recently finished work on
Michael Bay's upcoming action thriller
