Washington: The showrunners of Game of Thrones - David Benioff and D B Weiss - are all set to collaborate on a new project.
According to news reports, the Emmy winners on Tuesday announced that they are teaming up with Netflix and Alexander Woo to produce and write a new sci-fi television show.
The new series, which revolves around the story of humanity's first contact with an alien civilization, is based on the trilogy of novels The Three-Body Problem by Chinese author Liu Cixin.
"Liu Cixin's trilogy is the most ambitious science-fiction series we've read, taking readers on a journey from the 1960s until the end of time, from life on our pale blue dot to the distant fringes of the universe," a news portal quoted Weiss and Benioff as saying in a press statement.
"We look forward to spending the next years of our lives bringing this to life for audiences around the world," their statement further read.
