Overview

  • The third season premiered July 11 on Apple TV+ and will roll out ten episodes weekly on Fridays through September 12.
  • After securing a perfect critics’ score ahead of its debut, Foundation’s Rotten Tomatoes rating has since declined to the mid-80s.
  • Season 3 leaps forward 152 years into the decline of the Cleon dynasty, highlighting a detached Cleon XVIII and emerging fissures in imperial rule.
  • Pilou Asbæk’s telepathic mutant The Mule makes a grisly entrance by turning a Kalgan delegation against itself in the premiere’s opening sequence.
  • Collider reports hint at a coming confrontation between The Mule and Demerzel, the last sentient robot presumed immune to telepathy.
