Everything you need to know about Foundation season 3
Hey, sci-fi fans! Foundation Season 3 is almost here, and it's shaping up to be a wild ride through Isaac Asimov's galaxy-spanning universe. Apple TV+'s epic adaptation has us hooked, and with a confirmed premiere date, fresh faces joining the cast, and a big bad villain stealing the spotlight, there's a lot to unpack. So, grab a coffee, and let's dive into everything we know about Foundation Season 3. Foundation Season 3 Release Date
Circle July 11, 2025, on your calendar, because that's when Foundation Season 3 hits Apple TV+. We're getting 10 episodes, kicking off with the premiere, then rolling out every Friday until the big finale on September 12, 2025. It's the perfect summer binge, going head-to-head with heavyweights like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 and Squid Game Season 3. Trust me, you'll want to clear your Friday nights for this one. Foundation Season 3 Plot Details
Season 3 jumps 152 years after Season 2's cliffhanger, and the galaxy's in a whole new mess. The Foundation's no longer a scrappy underdog—it's a powerhouse now. But the Cleonic Dynasty? Yeah, their Galactic Empire's crumbling faster than a bad hologram. Enter the season's big bad: The Mule, a warlord with scary-good psychic powers and an army that could make Darth Vader sweat.
Played by Pilou Asbæk (you know, that guy from Game of Thrones ), The Mule's out to conquer everything, and the trailer's giving us chills with psychic showdowns against Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell). We're also seeing Brother Day (Lee Pace, still stealing scenes) scheming like the galaxy's shadiest politician. Oh, and Hari Seldon's legacy (Jared Harris, being all wise and digital) gets a boost with a new psychohistorian, Dr. Ebling Mis, digging into his work.
The show's pulling from Asimov's Foundation and Empire , especially The Mule's arc, but it's not afraid to go off-book. Remember Demerzel's backstory in Season 2? That was pure TV magic, and Season 3's mixing more of that original spice with classic Asimov vibes. Expect alliances crumbling, space battles that'll make your jaw drop, and twists that'll have you yelling at your screen. Foundation Season 3 Cast
Foundation Season 3 boasts a stellar returning cast alongside exciting new additions: Returning Cast : Lee Pace as Brother Day, the charismatic and cunning emperor of the Cleonic Dynasty. Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, the psychohistorian whose predictions guide the Foundation. Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, a key figure in the Foundation's mission. Laura Birn as Demerzel, the enigmatic robot with a rich backstory. Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, a pivotal Cleon figure. Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn, navigating the dynasty's decline. Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, whose fate is tied to The Mule's rise. Rowena King as Queen Sareth, adding political intrigue.
New Cast : Pilou Asbæk ( Game of Thrones ) as The Mule, the season's primary antagonist. Cherry Jones ( Succession ) as Foundation Ambassador Quent, a diplomatic powerhouse. Troy Kotsur ( CODA ) in a yet-to-be-revealed role, bringing his Oscar-winning talent. Brandon P. Bell ( Dear White People ) as a new character adding depth to the story. Alexander Siddig ( Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ), transitioning from Advocate Xylas to Dr. Ebling Mis, a Seldon devotee. Cody Fern ( American Horror Story ), Synnøve Karlsen ( Last Night in Soho ), and Tómas Lemarquis ( Blade Runner 2049 ) in undisclosed roles.
This ensemble ensures Foundation Season 3 delivers powerhouse performances, with The Mule's casting generating significant buzz among fans.
