Much like the galactic empire itself, the Foundation series has been through an upheaval, but it looks like it will come out the other side. Season 3 of the Apple TV+ original saw some production hiccups, including a budgetary issue that halted production last year, and called the show’s future into question. However, on Tuesday reported that the Apple and Skydance Television are now prepping for Season 4 — a good sign that the show will get another renewal. After the exit of showrunner David S. Goyer, Season 4 will be overseen by Ian Goldberg, who previously helmed Fear the Walking Dead.

Foundation is an adaptation of the seminal sci-fi series by author Isaac Asimov, and it lives up to the scale of its source material. Season 2 garnered even more critical acclaim than the show’s first installment, but the ambitious production has been plagued by disruptions including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hollywood labor strikes.

In spite of all that, Apple is reportedly still betting big on this series. Sources close to the project told Deadline that Season 3 is finished, and will probably air sometime this year. Meanwhile, the studios are anticipating a renewal and are prepared to hire Goldberg as the new showrunner. Goldberg already has an overall deal in place with Skydance TV.
