Foundation Season 3 (2025) – Apple TV+ Sci-Fi | Streaming July 11
The epic saga continues as Foundation Season 3 premieres on July 11, 2025, exclusively on Apple TV+. Adapted from Isaac Asimov’s legendary sci-fi novels, this season catapults us 152 years into the future, where the fragile fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.
With new enemies, moral dilemmas, political fractures, and a rising telepathic threat, Foundation returns bigger, bolder, and more philosophically charged than ever.
Season Overview
Time has marched forward. Over a century has passed, and the once-dominant Galactic Empire is crumbling as the Cleonic dynasty, built on genetic immortality, begins to falter. Meanwhile, the Foundation—once a flicker of hope—has grown into a formidable civilisation guided by science and foresight.
But a new force emerges from the shadows: The Mule, a powerful and enigmatic telepath who can manipulate minds, bending the will of leaders, armies, and even empires. As chaos threatens both Empire and Foundation, the need for uneasy alliances becomes inevitable.
Philosophical struggles collide with interstellar conflict as both old and new characters are tested—morally, emotionally, and spiritually.
