The original Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, was first released as short stories published in 1940s, and then collected and published in a trilogy of novels in the 1950s. 30 years later Asimov revisited the series adding two sequels and two prequels, for seven novels total. Now in 2021 Apple TV+ is releasing a series basic on this classic sci-fi masterpiece.

Foundation is set more than 21 thousand years in the future, it has this amazing scope that includes a Galactic Empire of more than 25 million worlds, that’s made possible by hyper-spatial travel, and this series basically influenced all of the most popular sci-fi you’re familiar with. It won a special Hugo Award for the greatest series of all time, beating out J.R.R. Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings.

This Foundation trailer breakdown video explains why this great book series is a tough adaptation. It gives a background for the Foundation series without spoilers for how things end. As a fan, I’m hoping that the TV series will be able to develop an engaging show that can tell the complete 1000 year story of Hari Seldon’s Psychohistory, and the two Foundations he created to help the Galaxy avoid a 30,000 year period of decline.
