    The series, based on the books that inspired films such as Star Wars,
    will "chronicle the thousand-year saga of The Foundation, a band of
    exiles who discover that the only way to save the Galactic Empire from
    destruction is to defy it."

    Foundation stars Lee Pace (Guardians of the Galaxy, Halt and Catch
    Fire) as Brother Day, the current Emperor of the Galaxy, and Jared
    Harris (Chernobyl, The Terror) who will play Hari Seldon, a
    mathematical genius who predicts the demise of the Galactic Empire. It
    will also feature Lou Llobell as Gaal, Leah Harvey as Salvor, Laura
    Birn as Demerzel, Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, and Cassian Bilton as
    play Brother Dawn.

    A production by Skydance Television, the 10-episode series is created
    by David Goyer and Josh Friedman with Goyer also serving as
    showrunner. Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) will direct.
    Friedman, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Marcy Ross, and Cameron Welsh
    are set as executive producers along with Asimov's daughter, Robyn
    Asimov.

    The books originally formed a trilogy (which also includes Foundation
    and Empire and Second Foundation), but Asimov wound up completing
    seven Foundation books before his passing in 1992.

    Originally published as a series of eight short stories in Astounding
    Magazine beginning in 1942, Foundation offers a complex saga about
    humans who are scattered on planets throughout the galaxy, living
    under the rule of the Galactic Empire. A psycho-historian, who can
    scientifically read the future, sees an imminent empire collapse and
    sets to work preparing to save the knowledge of mankind.
