"We crave Empire and Foundation... United in action, or we perish." The anticipation is palpable! Apple TV has unveiled the spellbinding full trailer for Season 3 of "Foundation," an exhilarating sci-fi saga rooted deeply in Isaac Asimov's storied books. "The future beckons, worthy of our strife." Marking one of my all-time favorite series, it premiered in 2021 and now, after a spellbinding continuation in 2023, Season 3 stands poised for its July debut. Set 152 years after the events that unfolded in Season 2, the Foundation has transcended its humble origins, while the Cleonic Dynasty's Empire has waned. As these galactic titans forge a tenuous pact, a formidable warlord known as "The Mule" emerges as a menacing specter, posing a peril to the entire galaxy.
Season 3 propels us further into the epic narrative of a group of exiles undertaking a monumental voyage to rescue humanity and reconstruct civilization amidst the collapse of the Galactic Empire. "The fates of victory, defeat, life, and death hang in the balance as Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick, the Cleons, and Demerzel engage in a potentially lethal intergalactic chess match." Jared Harris, Lee Pace, and Lou Llobell reprise their roles with relish. Joining them are Cherry Jones, Brandon P. Bell, Synnøve Karlsen, Cody Fern, Tómas Lemarquis, Alexander Siddig, Troy Kotsur, and Pilou Asbæk. The visuals are nothing short of breathtaking—more grand, exhilarating, and perilous than ever before. My anticipation knows no bounds.
Derived from Isaac Asimov's award-winning sci-fi novels, "Foundation" chronicles the monumental journey of a band of exiles who strive to salvage humanity and rebuild civilization against the backdrop of the Galactic Empire's demise. At the heart of these tales lies Hari Seldon, a mathematician who dedicates his life to developing psychohistory—a revolutionary, mathematically grounded sociology. Leveraging statistical laws of mass behavior, it predicts the future trajectories of vast populations. Seldon foresees the inevitable collapse of the Empire, spanning the Milky Way, and a subsequent dark age stretching 30,000 years before a second empire rises anew.
"Foundation" is helmed by writer-filmmaker David S. Goyer (penning credits include "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," and "Terminator: Dark Fate"). Executive producers include Robyn Asimov, Goyer, Josh Friedman, Cameron Welsh, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Marcy Ross. Produced by Skydance Television for Apple TV, the series is based on Isaac Asimov's book series, first published in 1942 and consolidated in 1951. Apple TV+ will exclusively premiere Season 3 of Asimov's "Foundation" on July 11th, 2025. Are you geared up for this cosmic adventure?
