Sci-fi series debuts September 24 on Apple TV+
The famed sci-fi novel trilogy by Isaac Asimov is now an Apple original series from David S. Goyer. (Originally, Josh Friedman was also on board as co-showrunner and co-writer, though he left the project back in 2019.) Jared Harris stars as Hari Seldon, the genius mathematician who forecasts an end to the empire that rules the galaxy and seeks to minimize the duration of the following dark age, while Lee Pace plays Brother Day, the current emperor. Terrence Mann, Laura Birn, and Leah Harvey also star. (Unlike Asimov's books, the series appears to have room for a few female characters.)
Those Foundation books have never before been adapted to film or television in large part due to their immense scope, which spans centuries, and it is unclear how large a time period Goyer is planning to cover should the series progress to hypothetical future seasons, though he once hoped for an 80-episode epic. Three episodes—including the opener directed by Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) in his TV debut—will be available on day one, followed by seven additional weekly installments.
