About ‘Foundation’ Season 3
“Foundation” Season 3 picks up 152 years after the events of last season, and yeah — things are rough across the galaxy. The Foundation has grown into a major force, the Empire is crumbling, and Demerzel’s basically running the show with a new set of cloned rulers under her control. But the real wildcard is the Mule, a mind-controlling warlord with his eye on total domination. Gaal and Hari wake up from cryosleep to stop him, but with loyalties shifting and chaos brewing on all sides, saving civilization won’t be simple.
