And now that the show is No.

Jess Hong is, by her own admission, not a science person.
Like, why are we doing this?

We’re made up of all these molecules that aren’t even technically connected.
We’re mostly empty space.
If someone calls you an airhead, you’re able to be like, Bitch, weallare!
We’re all just held together by vibrations or energy.
She and I are meeting in only two dimensions.
In April 2021, Hong received an audition request through a casting agent for a project called Untitled Benioff.
(As in David Benioff, one-half of theGame of Thronesshowrunning team.)
At the time, she was doing childrens theater, touring around Aotearoa.
I was like,Is this really the same show?
But her expectations stayed low.
With self-tapes like that, she says, You send it out into the ether and expect nothing back.
She attributes some of this attitude to being a Kiwi, the other-side-of-the-worldness of it all.
I think people in New Zealand tend to prioritize quality of life much more than ambition.
It’s not to say that we’re not ambitious, it’s just that I’m a Libra.
I like to have some balance, and I think culturally we all like to have that balance.
Success in a place like Hollywood does seem harder from there.

Weiss, ofGame of Thronesmega fame, and Alexander Woo, aTrue Bloodproducer.
I had only actually watched two seasons ofGame of Thrones, she says.
And I was already pretty nervous to meet them.
After a four-month long processmore Zooms, chemistry readsHong landed the part.
It was overwhelming for sure, says Hong.
(He went, Oh, you have a lot of shoot days, she says.
I was like, Thats all right.
I like to keep busy.)
I’m not going to lie, it’s fucking weird, she says.
Youd walk in one day and thered be half a castle there, she says.
And the next day, the castles taken down.
Theyve completely covered the entire studio floor with sand.
You could see and feel and taste and hear a lot, actually.
So it was almost like we were going into the game world ourselves.

She cant let the mystery go.
Here’s what I’ve learned about Jin Cheng.
She must find the answer.
She must complete the mission, no matter what, says Hong.
I should understand everything.

I am also a daughter, I’m also a sister.
I’m also the child of an immigrant.
I’m not wanting to leave [that] just yet.
She doesnt know yet if3BPwill get a second season (my fingers and toes are crossed).
3BPis, in part, a meditation on what it takes to survive.
Wow, I’m so grateful for this experience.
That’s where it ends.
That’s the end of the line, but good to be here, she says.
I think [thats] an attitude that’s necessary for survival.
“Prince William has just stood on a chair and bitten the mouse’s head off.”
“The Spencer genes are so strong.”
It was previously alleged King Charles’s “patience was wearing thin” with his brother.
