Talking exclusively to Digital Spy, Miller – who plays Halima in the show – said of Foundation: "Oh, God. Epic. Just fricking epic. I've never been so blown away by a set, by the costumes. I mean, it's like a kid in a candy shop.

"[Co-creator] David Goyer, he is just phenomenal. They've got a really good cast of newbies who, honestly, you would never know that it was their first job.
"What else can I tell you? It's shot in like 10,000 different locations across the world [laughs]. Although it's sci-fi, it's about real human stories. It's all about relationships and connections. And we care about these people.
"I can't wait for you to see it," she continued. "I had a small, small, small… a significant but small part. I'm in there for three episodes. I think that's it. But my God, the writing is incredible."
As for working with Marvel star Lee Pace, who takes on the role of Brother Day, Emperor of the Galaxy, Miller described him as "the best".
Opening up about their friendship, she recalled a trip with him and his partner: "We went climbing in the mountains – the trek.
"He'd go for two-hour runs in the mountains and trained for like four hours. Crazy. But just real, simple folk. Liked good food. Liked dogs. Liked the outdoors."
Foundation will premiere on Apple TV+ on September 24.
