Lee Pace and Jared Harris to lead Apple’s Isaac Asimov adaptation Foundation

October 27, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Back in August of last year it was announced that Apple had granted a straight-to-series order to an adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation for the Apple TV+ streaming service, and now we have our first casting news on the project.

As revealed by Deadline, Lee Pace (The Hobbit, Halt and Catch Fire) and Jared Harris (Chernobyl, The Terror) are set to lead the cast of the ten-episode series, with Pace as Brother Day, the Emperor of the Galaxy, and Harris as Hari Seldon, a mathematical genius who predicts the demise of the Galactic Empire.

Along with the casting news, it has also been revealed that Snow White and the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell director Rupert Sanders is set to make his television debut helming the pilot episode of the series, which has David S. Goyer (Da Vinci’s Demons, Krypton) serving as showrunner.

Foundation tells the saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy, all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire. The series follows the psycho-historian Hari Seldon (Harris) who foresees the imminent collapse of the Empire, and sets out to preserve mankind’s knowledge by assembling a group of talented artisans and engineers to serve as the foundation for a new society.
