Foundation season 3 release schedule: When are new episodes on Apple TV+?

All of her mentoring by the enigmatic Hari Seldon (Jared Harris) has led up to this confrontation, which is poised to have major consequences for the rest of the show's sprawling universe.

Elsewhere, we also catch up with the Emperor Cleon's clones, including Lee Pace's fan favourite Brother Day, who is on the cusp of transitioning to another stage of life – and doing so in true "stoner" style.

On his striking appearance in Foundation season 3, Pace told Space.com: "I never would have imagined I would have been able to play the Emperor of the galaxy in this way. But as it fits into the story that we've earned now, after making it to this third season, it makes total sense to me.

"It makes total sense that he’s just like, 'Ugh, it doesn't matter what I do here anyway. Might as well just hang out in the garden, get stoned, play with my ferret, and let the robot do what it wants. Just stay away from me.'"
