Lee Pace and Jared Harris will star in the Apple TV series "Foundation", which is based on the science fiction novel "Foundation Trilogy" written by Isaac Asimov. Pace plays Brother Day, the current emperor of the Milky Way. Harris plays Hari Seldon, a mathematical genius who predicts the demise of the empire. David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman ("War of the Worlds"), writers of the "Batman" series, wrote the script and served as creators. "Foundation Trilogy" consists of "Foundation", "Foundation and Empire", and "Second Foundation". It tells the story of the 12,000-year-old history of the Galactic Empire, but a psychological historian made an astonishing prediction: the empire is about to collapse, the entire galaxy is destined to become a ruin, and the dark age will last for a full 30,000 years. "Foundation" has a total of 10 episodes in the first season.
