Will Arnett has also joined the show as Doug Klassen, the talent agent of Alex. The arrival of the global Covid-19 pandemic and the wearing of masks also features in the second season as an evolving story element.
Foundation
Apple TV+ also unveiled the official trailer for Isaac Asimov’s iconic award-winning Foundation novel series that will be coming to screen for the first time, with showrunner and executive producer David S. Goyer, and that is set thousands of years in humanity future living on millions of planets across the galaxy.
The first season of Foundation follows a group of exiles who discover that the Galactic Empire is falling and tries to save it through the scientific concept of psychohistory that can broadly predict how humanity as a collective will behave.
After Dr Hari Seldon (Jared Harris) predicts the impending fall of the Empire, he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilization.
Enraged by Hari's claims, the ruling Cleons - a long line of emperor clones - fear their unrivaled reign may be weakening as they're forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their powerful legacy forever.
Foundation will start on 24 September worldwide with the first two episodes that will be made available, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.
