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."

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."
