PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON THE FOUNDATION SF EPIC SERIES SEASON 2 WITH LEE PACE AND JARED HARRIS! ALL EMPIRES FALL!

  FOUNDATION SF SERIES  

EPIC SECOND SEASON IS HERE

Second season starts July 14th!

I have to be honest and admit that I slept through most of the utterly boring, terribly cast and deeply uninspired season one, and not even the charismatic and wildly hot Lee Pace could make me watch the second season, but some of you may think differently, so you will rejoice in the knowledge that July 14th will see the launch on the ten episode new season over at Apple TV Plus. The episodes will stream weekly. The story that follows a band of exiles on a mission to save humanity and rebuild civilization as the fall of the Galactic Empire looms closer is again based on Isaac Asimov's novel.

 

  IN THE SECOND SEASON

set over a century after the finale of the first season, tension escalates across the galaxy. As the Cleons unravel, a vengeful queen plots from within to

dismantle the Empire. Meanwhile, Hari, Gaal, and Salvor stumble upon a colony of Mentalics possessing powerful psionic abilities that pose a threat to the very fabric of psychohistory. The Foundation enters a phase of religious fervor, spreading the teachings of the Church of Seldon throughout the Outer Reach and inciting the Second Crisis: a full-scale war against the Empire. Amidst these monumental events and happenings, the narratives of the four central characters intertwine as they navigate treacherous crises, navigate shifting allegiances, and grapple with complex relationships that will ultimately determine the fate of humanity.

WHO IS IN THE CAST?

In the second season Jared Harris returns as Hari Seldon, a mathematician who develops psychohistory, with Lee Pace as one of the long line of galactic emperors. Laura Birn is back as Eto Demerzel, the android majordomo to the Emperors, Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn (Cleon XIV), the youngest member of the genetic clone lineage of Cleon I, and the designated successor to Brother Day. Isabella Laughland joins the cast as Brother Constant, a devoted cleric spreading the teachings of the Church of the Galactic Spirit. Ben Daniels will be Bel Riose, a once-loyal general whose allegiance to the Galactic Empire falters. Mikael Persbrandt takes on the role of the formidable Warlord of Kalgan, driven by hate and psychic abilities.
