There's no official confirmation of a 3 Body Problem Season 2 yet, we can't definitively say who'll be returning. However, based on Season 1 and the sprawling narrative of Cixin Liu's trilogy, we can expect some familiar faces. Jovan Adepo's captivating portrayal of Dr. Wang Miao and Jess Hong's complex Jin Cheng would likely be central figures again.
