Foundation Season 3 Sees the Universe in Chaos
Chaos has a name, and he goes by The Mule.
Apple TV+ has blessed us with the official trailer, key art and seven new first-look images for Foundation Season 3. The sci-fi saga from filmmaker David S. Goyer, which he adapts from Isaac Asimov’s award-winning series of the same name, is poised to return this summer. The 10-episode season will undoubtedly submerge our main characters into abject mayhem as The Mule wreaks havoc.

Here’s the synopsis per Apple:
“Set 152 years after the events of season two, The Foundation has become increasingly established far beyond its humble beginnings, while the Cleonic Dynasty’s Empire has dwindled. As both of these galactic powers forge an uneasy alliance, a threat to the entire galaxy appears in the fearsome form of a warlord known as ‘The Mule,’ whose sights are set on ruling the universe by use of physical and military force, as well as mind control.
It’s anyone’s guess who will win, who will lose, who will live and who will die as Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick, the Cleons and Demerzel play a potentially deadly game of intergalactic chess.”
The Cast and Crew
Season 3 stars Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lee Pace as Brother Day, Laura Birn as Demerzel, Rowena King as Kalle, Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn, Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk and Alexander Siddig as Dr. Ebling Mis. Cherry Jones, Brandon P. Bell, Synnøve Karlsen, Cody Fern, Tómas Lemarquis, Academy Award-winner Troy Kotsur and Pilou Asbæk round out the roster.
Goyer and Josh Friedman are co-creators. Goyer is also the showrunner and executive producer, the latter of which he does alongside Jane Espenson and Leigh Dana Jackson.
