“The Third Crisis is upon us,” but don’t worry! Unlike most breaking news these days, that’s actually a good development. It just means Apple TV’s adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s epic space saga will soon be back for season three. The streamer has announced Foundation will be back this July. And Apple TV celebrated the season three premiere date announcement with a new teaser trailer and first-look images for a Foundation chapter that promises war.
It also promises Lee Pace fans are going to need a minute to gather themselves.
Foundation Season 3’s Trailer
You can check out the full teaser trailer for Foundation season three above.
Foundation Season 3’s Release Date and Synopsis
David S. Goyer’s Foundation has officially set its release date. The ten-episode third season of Foundation will hit Apple TV on Friday, July 11, 2025. A new episode of Foundation season three will follow every Friday until the season finale on September 12. That glorious old school release schedule will not reflect the season’s massive time jump. In addition to its new teaser trailer, here’s Foundation season three’s official synopsis:
Set 152 years after the events of season two, The Foundation has become increasingly established far beyond its humble beginnings while the Cleonic Dynasty’s Empire has dwindled. As both of these galactic powers forge an uneasy alliance, a threat to the entire galaxy appears in the fearsome form of a warlord known as “The Mule” whose sights are set on ruling the universe by use of physical and military force, as well as mind control. 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.
Foundation Season 3 First-Look Images Feature a Very Shirtless Lee Pace
In addition to season three’s first Foundation teaser trailer, Apple TV also shared a handful of first-look images. There’s a lot going on here, but we know what the people want. And what they want is the exact photo of a shirtless, bearded, long-haired Lee Pace as Brother Day pictured above.
….Good for him. And, obviously, good for people who like looking at Lee Pace.
Foundation Season 3’s Cast
Lee Pace and his fellow returning stars Jared Harris, Lou Llobell, Laura Birn, Cassian Bilton, Terrence Mann, and Rowena King will have plenty of new faces joining them this year. Cherry Jones, Brandon P. Bell, Synnøve Karlsen, Cody Fern, Tómas Lemarquis, Alexander Siddig, Pilou Asbæk, and Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur are joining just in time for the Third Crisis to begin.
It’s nice to announce that and have it be a good thing. We can’t wait to see what other pictures of Lee Pace…fun… Foundation season three has in store for us.
