Apple TV+ Unveils an Epic Foundation Season 3 Teaser

Apple TV+ has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Foundation Season 3, alongside a confirmed premiere date of July 11, 2025, setting the stage for the next chapter of its immaculate adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s seminal sci-fi novels. Following the critically acclaimed second season (which we gave a 9.5/10), this third installment promises to escalate the galactic saga with the arrival of The Mule, a formidable warlord poised to disrupt Hari Seldon’s meticulously crafted plans.

Episode 3. Cassian Bilton, Lee Pace and Terrence Mann in "Foundation," premiering July 11, 2025 on Apple TV+.

Set 152 years after Season 2’s explosive finale, Foundation Season 3 dives deeper into Asimov’s universe, focusing on the Second Foundation and the “Third Crisis.” The trailer introduces The Mule, now played by Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones), a mutant with emotion-manipulating powers threatening both the Foundation and the dwindling Cleonic Dynasty. The returning cast includes Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lee Pace as Brother Day, Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, and Laura Birn as Demerzel, with new additions like Troy Kotsur as Preem Palver and Alexander Siddig as Dr. Ebling Mis, a psychohistorian studying Seldon’s work.

The teaser trailer, which appropriately has fans buzzing with excitement, boasts stunning visuals and escalating stakes with a jaw-dropping scope. So, by the time that Foundation returns on July 11, 2025, Season 3 will be perfectly poised to solidify its reputation as a visually spectacular and intellectually profound sci-fi masterpiece.
