Watch: Apple’s ‘Foundation’ trailer

Coming soon (but not soon enough)

They’ve been trying to make this legendary series of books by Isaac Asimov into a TV series for maybe 50-years. Apple’s done it.

Here’s the trailer: Watch

Foundation is set over a thousand years, inspired Star Wars, and (arguably) inspired an entire genre.

In the teaser trailer, showrunner and executive producer David S. Goyer unveils a glimpse into the making of the epic saga, which chronicles a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire.

“Foundation” stars SAG Award winner and Emmy nominee Jared Harris as Hari Seldon; Lee Pace as Brother Day; Lou Llobell as Gaal; Leah Harvey as Salvor; Laura Birn as Demerzel; Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk; and Cassian Bilton as play Brother Dawn.

“Foundation” is executive produced by Robyn Asimov, David S. Goyer, Josh Friedman, Cameron Welsh, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross. The series is produced for Apple by Skydance Television.

“Foundation” will debut exclusively on Apple TV+. There’s just one snag: It won’t happen until 2021.
