With the San-Ti barreling toward Earth, our terrestrial heroes are calling in reinforcements for 3 Body Problem’s second season. 

The mind-bending sci-fi series — from co-creators, writers, and executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (Game of Thrones) and Alexander Woo (The Terror: Infamy, True Blood) — has added two more series regulars to the ensemble.  

Claudia Doumit (SOULM8TE, The Boys) joins the cast as Captain Van Rijn, while Ellie de Lange (Run Away, Wolf Hall And The Serpent) will portray Ayla.

Plus, Alfie Allen (Atomic, Game of Thrones, SAS Rogue Heroes), David Yip (The Chinese Detective, A View to a Kill), and Jordan Sunshine (The Pitt Season 2, Wonder Pets) are set for recurring roles.
