FOUNDATION Renewed For Season 4 At Apple TV+
Apple TV+ is keeping its ambitious sci-fi saga alive. Just a day before the season three finale, the streamer confirmed that Foundation will return for a fourth season.
The renewal has been in motion for some time. Earlier this year Apple brought in Ian Goldberg (Fear the Walking Dead) as co-showrunner and executive producer, with a writers’ room for the new season already up and running.
Goldberg steps in after the third season saw the exit of co-developer, showrunner, and director David S. Goyer, along with production restarts and budget adjustments.
Season three has been an intense ride. The Foundation’s influence has expanded far beyond its origins, while the Cleonic Dynasty’s once-untouchable Empire has begun to falter.
An uneasy alliance forms, but an even greater danger looms in the form of “The Mule”, a warlord with devastating power, military force, and mind control at his disposal. With Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick, the Cleons, and Demerzel all caught in a galactic chess match, survival is far from guaranteed.
The series stars Jared Harris, Lee Pace, and Lou Llobell, alongside Cherry Jones, Brandon P. Bell, Synnøve Karlsen, Cody Fern, Tómas Lemarquis, Alexander Siddig, Troy Kotsur, and Pilou Asbæk. Returning cast members include Laura Birn, Cassian Bilton, Terrence Mann, and Rowena King.
Goldberg will now lead the series with David Kob, serving as co-showrunners and executive producers. They’ll be joined by Bill Bost, Lee Pace, Michael Satrazemis, Robyn Asimov, and Goyer.
“There is no series quite like Foundation and we feel lucky and honored to be carrying the torch forward as co-showrunners into season four,” said Goldberg and Kob.
“We look forward to continuing the epic, emotional, storytelling that defined the first three seasons of the show, and to be working alongside some of the most talented, passionate creative partners in the business.”
Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss added, “It’s been fantastic to watch Foundation become such a global phenomenon, with fans tuning in from every corner of the world.
“With each new season, the excitement around this trailblazing sci-fi epic just keeps building due to the bold storytelling and collective artistry of this extraordinarily talented cast and creative team. We’re excited to keep exploring this universe together in season four.”
