Apple TV+ Science Fiction Series 'Foundation' Could Have 80 Episodes [Video]

Apple's upcoming science fiction series 'Foundation' could have 80 episodes, according to showrunner David Goyer.

Based on the award-winning novels by Isaac Asimov, Foundation chronicles a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire.

In an interview with Lovin Malta, Goyer says, "Game of Thrones was really the first of these big giant novelistic shows and you know now with Foundation we can tell the story, hopefully over the course of 80 episodes, 80 hours, as opposed to trying to condense it all into two or three hours for a single film."




Lovin Malta notes that filming for the series has begun at Malta Film Studio where Apple will use the island's massive water tanks to create an alien water world. Filming will also take place in other locations around the island, including Fort Manoel.

Foundation is expected to debut on Apple TV+ this year. Take a look at the teaser below and please download the iClarified app or follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and RSS for updates.
