FoundationReturns, and Finds Humanity on a Collision Course With Disaster

Foundation — Apple TV+’sIsaac Asimov - inspired sci - fi serial publication — is back for a second time of year that will introduce new eccentric and some mind - bending new patch togs . But first , we ’ve bewilder to check in with the familiar face we result on a cliffhanger a year and a one-half ago . ( Need a season one taking into custody - up?We’ve got you cover . )

“ In Seldon ’s Shadow ” was co - indite by Jane Espenson andseries Godhead David S. Goyer , and target by Alex Graves . It stars Jared Harris as Hari Seldon , Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick , Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin , Laura Birn as Demerzel , and Cassian Bilton , Lee Pace , and Terrence Mann as Brothers Dawn , Day , and Dusk ( aka the Cleons , aka Empire ) .

We open with a fateful - and - white Hari Seldon — or rather , one of the digital copy of his knowingness — alone in an empty room , ranting about Raych ’s conclusion to put Gaal in the flight seedcase after his death in time of year one ( “ You were suppose to be the one in the seedcase , not her ! ” ) and other less coherent thing , like why god made vino and knives , and his own ego - frustration about not share his “ expectant plan ” with other citizenry . Hari is freaking out and cracking up . Gaal ’s recital cut down in , smooth as always : “ There ’s an older saying : any man can be a success , but it rent a madman to be cracking . ”
