Apple TV+ has announced that Foundation will premiere on the streaming service on September 24 with the first three of the show's 10-episodes, and we also have a new trailer which should give fans an idea of the massive scope of this epic sci-fi adaptation.
Based on Isaac Asimov's series of novels, Foundation follows a mathematician named Hari Seldon (Jared Harris) who discovers a way to predict the future using his equations. When he foresees the imminent fall of the Galactic Empire (no, not that one), he incurs the wrath of a group of emperor clones known as the Cleons led by Brother Day (Lee Pace).
Check out the trailer below, along with an updated synopsis, and let us know what you think.
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.
Developed by David S. Goyer, Foundation also stars Lou Llobell, Leah Harvey, Laura Birn, Terrence Mann, Alfred Enoch and Cassian Bilton.
