![]() ![]() ![]() Well, as we enter season two of Foundation, that means a great deal: Brother Day is planning on ending the genetic dynasty by getting married and starting a dynasty of his own. We also found out the purity of the great genetic dynasty of the Emperor Cleon had been sullied – what does that mean for Brothers Dawn, Day and Dusk? Meanwhile, Hari Seldon, the creator of psycho-history (and pretty much the reason this whole thing started), has been split in two, with one being exploded after Gaal abandoned her ship to return to Synnax and the other trapped in a Vault. With both ships crashed, are they stranded? And how will their strange new relationship work? Indeed, we do care about the fates of our characters, especially after the jaw-dropping ending to season one, which saw Gaal (Lou Llobell) wake up over 100 years in the future on her home planet of Synnax, only to find out that the daughter she never knew existed, Salvor (Leah Harvey), was there too – and she’s physically older in age than Gaal is. “So something that we were very cognizant of when we were adapting the show was making sure that this would appeal to people who haven’t read Asimov, who don’t consider themselves to be fans of science fiction, just making sure that the characters are vivid and that we care about their fates.” Foundation showrunner David Goyer says a key to adapting the show was to make sure audiences cared about the characters. “It’s one thing to have grand ideas about the future of civilization, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t actually care about who lives and who dies. “I think the secret to that, and it’s why I’m so excited about season two and why I think we’ve improved upon season one, is by making the themes as accessible and universal as humanly possible,” Goyer says. ![]() The reason we’re musing over that question is because Goyer did what has always been thought of as impossible – he successfully adapted Asimov’s seminal works in the form of a TV series for Apple TV+ back in September, and now he’s back for season two.
