Season two of the Apple TV+ global hit, epic saga “Foundation” from storyteller David S. Goyer returned with a 10-episode star-studded debut on July 14, 2023

The ambitious Apple TV+ sci-fi series “Foundation,” based on the award-winning novels by Isaac Asimov, chronicles a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire. But, the production of season 3 has been beset with problems.

Lynette Rice for Deadline:
‎

Issues with budgeting and physical production/ prompted the delay of filming in Prague and Poland, which had been scheduled to begin this month, sources tell Deadline. Cast and crew who had already convened for the shoot were told to return home while production issues are sorted out, with the budget brought down. No new start date has been set.

This is the second time Season 3 production has been paused on the series that stars Jared Harris and Lee Pace… According to sources, the sci-fi drama filmed for several weeks in spring 2023 before shutting down due to the strike. About a third of Foundation’s third season is in the can, sources said.

MacDailyNews Take: Ugh! Doesn’t it seem like, since the blossoming of steaming (and not just because of the twin writers’ and actors’ strikes), every new season of pretty much every series comes around really late; from Stranger Things to Severance and everything in-between?!
