    "In the decades since the 'Foundation' series first saw print,
    Asimov's prophetic science-fiction work has never been more relevant
    than it is now," creator David S. Goyer said in a statement. "Growing
    up, I devoured 'Foundation' and dreamed of one day seeing it on screen
    - but a feature film didn't seem big enough to embrace the ambition.
    Thanks to the broader landscape of streaming and a valuable partnership
    with Apple and Skydance, we are able to bring the series to the screen
    in a way that truly does it justice. 'Foundation' has always been at
    the top of my bucket list and I'm honored I get to play a part in
    finally bringing it to life. Whether you're a fan of the novels or
    simply someone craving a mind-blowing epic, I'm excited to share with
    you what we've created."

    In Foundation, when revolutionary Dr. Hari Seldon 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 grasp on the galaxy may be weakening as they're forced to reckon
    with the potential reality of losing their legacy forever.

    This monumental journey chronicles the stories of four crucial
    individuals transcending space and time as they overcome deadly crises,
    shifting loyalties, and complicated relationships that will ultimately
    determine the fate of humanity.

    Based on the books that inspired films such as Star Wars, the 10-episode
    series stars Emmy Award nominees Jared Harris (Chernobyl) as Hari
    Seldon and Lee Pace (Halt and Catch Fire) as Brother Day along with Lou
    Llobell as Gaal Dornick; Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin; Laura Birn as
    Demerzel; Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk; Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn;
    and Alfred Enoch as Raych.

    Foundation is created and executive produced by David S. Goyer, who is
    also serving as showrunner. It is a co-production between Apple Studios
    and Skydance Television, Executive producers are Robyn Asimov, Josh
    Friedman, Cameron Welsh, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost.

    Originally published as a series of eight short stories in Astounding
    Magazine beginning in 1942, the books originally formed a trilogy (which
    also includes Foundation and Empire and Second Foundation), but Asimov
    wound up completing seven Foundation books before his passing in 1992.

    From the trailer it looks like mostly space battles, and the book was mostly people sitting around talking.
