So, the writers and producers pull inspiration from many different novels and short stories from Asimov’sFoundationuniverse.

The prequels might not be of much service due to the conflicting timelines.

Ultimately, it’s unknown whichbooksFoundationseason 3will adapt.

Its success suggests that the show can go on for many more seasons, though.

Goyer explained:

“[Isaac] Asimov was interested in exploring the intersection of science and religion.

Goyer and co. want to use what Asimov started and take it one step further.

So, Apple TV+‘sFoundationdoes not strictly follow the chronological (or even the release) order of the books.
