Game Of Thrones Creators' Follow-Up Netflix Show Is Even Bigger, Says Star
John Bradley, who played Samwell Tarly on Game of Thrones, claims that the latest project from David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, The Three-Body Problem, will be even bigger in scope than the hit fantasy series.

Along with Bradley, The Three-Body Problem series also reunites the show's creators with Thronesalumnus Liam Cunningham, best known for his role as Davos Seaworth, staunch ally of King Stannis Baratheon. The series will be the first television outing for Benioff and Weiss as a writing team since penning the infamous finale of HBO's fantasy epic in 2019, which left more than a few fans feeling short-changed.
