The world that author Isaac Asimov presents in his Foundation series (which nearly got the big-screen treatment) is just one corner of a larger universe the legendary sci-fi visionary tied together in his vast library of stories. This portion alone runs through seven books and covers about a millennium of history that’s supposed to precede a forthcoming dark age. It’s a lot of ground to cover, and those with an Apple TV+ subscription should be excited as creator David S. Goyer has an eight-season plan in place so he can tell the whole story. But just how much has he shared with his writers and actors?
That was one of the questions I asked the producer when I sat down to speak with him during the press day for Foundation Season 2’s 2023 TV schedule debut. With such a wide spread of events to cover and a huge cast of characters playing out those events, he certainly needs a roadmap to successfully tell such a story.
