FOUNDATION: Apple TV+ Reveals New Teaser, Photos, Sets September Launch

FOUNDATION, the adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s iconic novel series, will bow on Friday, September 24, with the first three episodes, before shifting to a weekly rollout, Apple TV+ announced.

In the series, “When revolutionary Dr. Hari Seldon predicts the impending fall of the Empire, he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilization. Enraged by Hari’s claims, the ruling Cleons — a long line of emperor clones — fear their grasp on the galaxy may be weakening as they’re forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their legacy forever.”

“In the decades since the FOUNDATION series first saw print, Asimov’s prophetic science-fiction work has never been more relevant than it is now,” said showrunner David S. Goyer in a statement. “Growing up, I devoured FOUNDATION and dreamed of one day seeing it on screen – but a feature film didn’t seem big enough to embrace the ambition. Thanks to the broader landscape of streaming and a valuable partnership with Apple and Skydance, we are able to bring the series to the screen in a way that truly does it justice. FOUNDATION has always been at the top of my bucket list and I’m honored I get to play a part in finally bringing it to life. Whether you’re a fan of the novels or simply someone craving a mind-blowing epic, I’m excited to share with you what we’ve created.”

The ten-episode first season stars Jared Harris, Lee Pace, Lou Llobell, Leah Harvey, Laura Birn, Terrence Mann, Cassian Bilton, and Alfred Enoch.
