Foundation Season 3 will soon be ending on Apple TV+, but the streamer has already renewed the epic sci-fi series for a brand new season.

Based on the work of Isaac Asimov, the series follows a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire.

“There is no series quite like ‘Foundation’ and we feel lucky and honored to be carrying the torch forward as co-showrunners into season four,” co-showrunners and executive producers Ian Goldberg and David Kob said in a statement. “We look forward to continuing the epic, emotional storytelling that defined the first three seasons of the show, and to be working alongside some of the most talented, passionate creative partners in the business.”

Production is expected to begin in early 2026, which means fans should expect new episodes sooner rather than later.

The news comes just ahead of the Season 3 finale, which airs on Apple TV+ Friday, Sept. 12.

The final episode will see “Gaal (Lou Llobell) and the Second Foundation take the flight to the Mule as the Emperor’s legacy suffers a catastrophic blow,” per the episode’s logline.

Matt Cherniss, head of programming at Apple TV+ praised the “global phenomenon.”

“With each new season, the excitement around this trailblazing sci-fi epic just keeps building due to the bold storytelling and collective artistry of this extraordinarily talented cast and creative team. We’re excited to keep exploring this universe together in season four,” he said.
