"Foundation" season 2, based on Isaac Asimov's book series, continues to be a complex and visually stunning sci-fi TV show. While the first season was challenging, season 2 starts to pay off with new characters, space battles, and big revelations. The show tackles weighty themes while delivering epic sci-fi spectacle. Despite its flaws, "Foundation" evolves into a rewarding series that explores authoritarianism, free speech, and the clash between faith and science.
David S. Goyer, showrunner of the TV adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Foundation, explains that the slow start of big book adaptations is often due to the need for extensive exposition. While the first season of Foundation was exposition-heavy, Goyer aimed to make the second season more approachable by exploring characters' internal lives, adding action, humor, and even some sex. The goal is to present the complex story in a way that appeals to new audiences. Goyer also discusses the challenges of filming a show with time jumps and multiple storylines, and his approach of not revealing too much to the actors about future seasons. While the show has only been confirmed for two seasons, Goyer envisions a total of eight seasons spanning 80 episodes, with some flexibility in the execution of the overall plan.
