After the long break of 152 years, Foundation finally returns for its much-anticipated Season 3, and many things have changed, including Brother Dawn’s clothing situation and Mule’s face. Based on Isaac Asimov‘s classic sci-fi novels of the same name, the Apple TV+ series is co-created by David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman.
In Season 3, the epic sci-fi drama series will be set 152 years after the events of the Season 2 finale, and it sees a now fully established Foundation while the Galactic Empire dwindles even more. As Hari Sheldon’s determined future comes under threat by the Mule, will humanity be able to survive?
