The "Foundation" show is an American science fiction television series created by David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman for Apple TV+, based on Isaac Asimov's Foundation series of stories. It premiered on September 24, 2021, and has been renewed for multiple seasons, with the third season premiering in July 2025. The series is set in the far future where a Galactic Empire ruled by clones of Emperor Cleon faces decline, and the mathematician Hari Seldon predicts this fall using psychohistory. To mitigate the consequences of the collapse, Seldon establishes a Foundation to preserve humanity's knowledge. The story follows the conflict between the Empire and the Foundation and the characters that bridge them. The show is known for its ambitious adaptation of Asimov's complex saga, visually engaging futuristic settings, and a mix of character- driven narratives amidst a sprawling sci-fi universe.
