"An unexpected treat for today is the first teaser for Apple's new science fiction saga FOUNDATION which will air next year based on the classic and award winning novel by Isaac Asimov. The clip starts with creator and director David S. Goyer talking about the production of the epic saga, which follows a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization after the fall of the Galactic Empire. Lee Pace and Jared Harris lead the cast of the lavish ten episode sf saga."

"The series will start September 24th on Apple based on Isaac Asimov's famous novel. The 10 episode series chronicles the epic saga of a band of exiles who discover that the only way to save the Galactic Empire from destruction is to defy it!
