Foundation TV Series

‘Foundation’: Apple Gives Series Order To Adaptation Of Isaac
Asimov’s Sci-Fi Classic From David Goyer & Josh Friedman:


"Three months after Apple landed for development a TV series based on Foundation,
the seminal Isaac Asimov science fiction novel trilogy, the project has received a 10-
episode straight-to-series order.

Foundation, from Skydance Television, David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman, chronicles
the thousand year saga of The Foundation, a band of exiles who discover that the only
way to save the Galactic Empire from destruction is to defy it.

The series order completes an year-long journey for the project. Last June, Deadline
revealed that Skydance had made a deal with the Asimov estate and has tapped
Goyer and Friedman to crack the code on a sprawling series based on the books that
informed Star Wars and many other sci-fi films and TV series.

The package was taken out last spring and, in a competitive situation, it went to
Apple, which put it in development for straight-to-series consideration.

Goyer and Friedman serve as executive producers and showrunners. Skydance’s David
Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross also executive produce, along with Asimov’s
daughter, Robyn Asimov."

Watch the first trailer for the Apple TV+ 'Foundation' series:

"Apple has revealed the first trailer for Foundation, the highly-anticipated sci-fi series
based on Issac Asimov’s iconic books of the same name. The series is coming to
Apple TV+ in 2021, after the show-runners were forced to pause production on the
series due to the coronavirus pandemic."

Strange how there are so many empires in Science Fiction. Do Sci-Fi writers
think democracy is just a passing fad?



Stunning official trailer for Foundation whets the appetite for more

"A mathematical genius predicts the imminent collapse of a galactic empire, and he
and his protegé set plans in motion to preserve the foundational knowledge of their
civilization in Foundation, Apple TV+'s adaptation of Isaac Asimov's hugely influential
series of science fiction novels. It's a story that takes place across multiple planets
over 1,000 years, with a huge cast of characters. That makes adapting it extremely
difficult, particularly to film. But the streaming platform is betting that the series
format will be better suited to bring Asimov's futuristic vision to life. It's certainly one
of several hotly anticipated science fiction projects debuting this fall."

Based on his work in Chernobyl, Jared Harris is a great choice for Hari Seldon. Don't think I'll be watching this until it leaves Apple though. Not about to pay for another service just for one show.
