The new trailer zeroes in on a fearsome warlord known as The Mule, played by Pilou Asbæk. Foundation Season 3 Sees the Universe in Chaos Chaos has a name, and he goes by The Mule. Apple TV+ has blessed us with the official trailer, key art and seven new first-look images for Foundation Season 3. The sci-fi saga from filmmaker David S.

It's anyone's guess who will win, who will lose, who will live and who will die as Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick, the Cleons and Demerzel play a potentially deadly game of intergalactic chess.'
