Apple TV+'s biggest sci-fi epic to return after a two year absence

Apple TV+ might not be the biggest streaming service, with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ offering many more shows and films, but it has carved a niche when it comes to sci-fi series.

For All Mankind, Silo and Severance are among the best in the genre today, while the limited series Constellation had the mighty Stephen King calling it "just about perfect".

There's also another series that has helped the platform earn its reputation with sci-fi fans, and it's about to return with a third season after a lengthy absence.

Foundation is based on the novels by renowned author Isaac Asimov and is inarguably the most epic of Apple TV+'s science fiction fare. It is mammoth in its scope and space opera-esque in its look and themes.

Unlike other shows on the service, which tend to be realistic or gritty, this book adaptation centres on a wider, far future concept, with the cast of characters attempting the not inconsiderable task of saving the whole of humanity.

Watch On

It spans 100s of years (Season 3 is set 152 years after the events in the second) and takes place across a vast and varied universe.

We'll avoid any further spoilers, as it's very much recommended that you watch the first two seasons before attempting the third. There are 10 episodes in each which are available on Apple TV+ to stream now.

When will Foundation Season 3 arrive on Apple TV+?

Foundation Season 3 will then debut on 11 July, with each of its episodes arriving on subsequent Fridays. Apple has released a teaser trailer (above) that should keep you going while you wait.

It's been two years between series, after all, so a couple more months shouldn't be too much trouble.
