If a journalist writing for Starlog in 1978 were put into suspended animation, woken up, and shown the TV series Foundation, that person would have a hard time believing it exists. Pilou Asbæk as the Mule in Foundation Season 3. While Pace’s Cleon in Season 2 was a bloodthirsty tyrant, in Season 3, he’s like an outer space Big Lebowski. Despite all the cynicism and political corruption, and backstabbing, Foundation Season 3 has an incredible and almost unlikely amount of warmth. Foundation Season 3 debuts on Apple TV+ on July 11, 2025.
