Foundation Season 3 Previews Galactic War Threat From The Mule

Apple TV+ is set to release the third season of its acclaimed sci-fi series Foundation on July 11, 2025, continuing its adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s legendary novels. Set 152 years after season two, the Foundation has grown while the Cleonic Dynasty’s Empire weakens, leading to an uneasy alliance between the two galactic powers. The central new threat is The Mule, a warlord with potent mind control abilities and military force, aiming to dominate the universe and disrupt Hari Seldon's psychohistorical plans. This season explores the tense dynamics between key characters including Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick, the cloned Cleons, and Demerzel, who engage in a high-stakes battle of intergalactic chess. The cast features returning stars Jared Harris, Lee Pace, Lou Llobell, and new additions such as Pilou Asbæk as The Mule, Cherry Jones, and Troy Kotsur. With a 10-episode run releasing weekly through September 12, the season promises intensified conflict, deeper storytelling, and the intertwining of various factions and powers across the galaxy.
