The centuries-spanning story of Foundation will continue for another year.
Apple TV+ has ordered a fourth season of Foundation, its sci-fi series based on stories by Isaac Asimov. The renewal comes just ahead of the show’s third season finale, which streams Friday.
“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,” co-showrunners and executive producers Ian Goldberg and David Kob said in a statement. “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.”
Added Matt Cherniss, head of programming at Apple TV+, “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.”
Jared Harris, Lee Pace and Lou Llobell star in Foundation along with Laura Birn, Cassian Bilton, Terrence Mann and Rowena Kingwith. New additions to season three include Cherry Jones, Brandon P. Bell, Synnøve Karlsen, Cody Fern, Tómas Lemarquis, Alexander Siddig, Troy Kotsur and Pilou Asbæk.
Paramount Television Studios produces Foundation. Goldberg and Kob will executive produce season four with Bill Bost, Pace, Michael Satrazemis, Robyn Asimov and David S. Goyer.
