Foundation Season 2 Episode 1 In Seldon’s Shadow
Hari finds himself trapped in a mysterious prison. An assassination attempt leaves Day shaken. Gaal and Salvor devise an escape plan.
Foundation is back. Fans of hefty, thought-provoking sci-fi rejoice! Showrunners David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman’s take on Isaac Asimov’s apparently unadaptable books proved to be a hit and one of the best Apple TV shows when it arrived in 2021. Now, we’re back on Trantor for more cloning, androids and most exciting of all, really complicated mathematics. Hooray!
The good news is that Foundation still ranks among the best TV series for those who like their genre stories with a brain. The first season concluded with a familial revelation for heroes Gaal (Lou Llobell) and Salvor (Leah Harvey), as well as the news that the DNA used to create perfect Cleon clones isn’t so perfect after all. That’s not to mention the staging of a cataclysmic mega-flare, aimed at convincing the Empire that the Foundation has been destroyed.
Apple TV Plus has continued to spend a huge wedge of cash on their best sci-fi series, of course, but the lavish production is secondary to the ideas. And there are plenty of those now that the Foundation season 2 release date has arrived, blasting all of the storylines a century into the future. Let’s dive right in…
He gets a little clone-ly
On Trantor, the latest version of Brother Day – he’s Cleon XVII – is in bed with his android right-hand woman Demerzel (Laura Birn) when he is attacked by mysterious assailants and almost mortally wounded. Day executes his shadowmaster in the wake of the breach, and tells Brother Dawn (Cassian Bilton) that he and Brother Dusk (Terrence Mann) must submit to a neural audit. He’s a suspicious dude.
