With production underway, Apple TV+ and Skydance Television have shared a first look image from the second season of its sci-fi drama series Foundation featuring stars Jared Harris and Lee Pace, as well as announcing the addition of ten new faces to the cast.
- Isabella Laughland as ‘Brother Constant,’ a cheerfully confident claric whose job is to evangelize the Church of the Galactic Spirit across the Outer Reach. Constant is a true believer, whose courage and passion make her hard not to love.
- Kulvinder Ghir as ‘Poly Verisof,’ High Claric of the Church of the Galactic Spirit. Whip-smart and sardonic, he’s also a terrible drunk — intelligent enough to see the path he’s on, but too cynical to change.
- Sandra Yi Sencindiver as ‘Enjoiner Rue,’ the beautiful, politically savvy consigliere to Queen Sareth. A former courtesan to Cleon the 16th, Rue parlayed her status to become a royal counsellor.
- Ella-Rae Smith as ‘Queen Sareth’ of Cloud Dominion. Used to being underestimated, Sareth employs it to her advantage, charming her way into the Imperial Palace with biting wit, all while on a secret quest for revenge.
- Dimitri Leonidas as ‘Hober Mallow,’ a master trader with a sarcastic personality and questionable morals, who is summoned against his will to serve a higher, selfless cause.
- Ben Daniels as ‘Bel Roise,’ the last great general of the Superliminal Fleet and would-be conqueror of the Foundation. Bel is noble to a fault, but his fealty to the Galactic Empire is waning.
- Holt McCallany as ‘Warden Jaegger Fount,’ the current Warden of Terminus and guardian of its citizens against external threats.
- Mikael Persbrandt as ‘The Warlord of Kalgan,’ a monster of a man, coiled with muscle and possessing powerful psychic abilities, and fueled by hate in his quest to take over the galaxy.
- Rachel House as ‘Tellem Bond,’ mysterious leader of the Mentallics.
- Nimrat Kaur as ‘Yanna Seldon’
The new cast additions join the returning Harris, Pace, Lou Llobell, Leah Harvey, Laura Birn, Terrence Mann and Cassian Bilton in the Apple Original drama, which is based upon the Foundation book series by legendary sci-fi author Isaac Assimov.
Foundation chronicles the stories of four crucial individuals transcending space and time as they overcome deadly crises, shifting loyalties and complicated relationships that will ultimately determine the fate of humanity.
As yet, there’s no word on a potential premiere date for season two of Foundation, but season one is available to stream now on Apple TV+.
