Foundation fans can now rejoice as the upcoming third season of the Apple TV+ show has received an exciting update – production has resumed.

The series from Skydance TV will resume production on season three on March 6 in Czech Republic, as well as Poland.

Deadline has reported that the cast and crew of the sci-fi drama, including the likes of Jared Harris and Lee Pace, have been notified of the new start date for the return to production.

The re-start of production on season three was originally supposed to begin in February but this was postponed due to issues surrounding budget and physical production. Cast and crew were told to head home while both issues were ironed out. It seems that the issues have now been sorted.

The show follows a group of exiles who embark on a quest to save humanity and rebuild civilisation after the fall of the Galactic Empire.

It was confirmed in December 2023 that the show had been renewed for a third season after a successful reception of season one and season two.

"I’m thrilled Apple has given us the opportunity to continue chronicling Asimov’s pioneering galactic saga," said showrunner David S. Goyer in a statement at the time. "This time, the stakes for Foundation and Empire are even higher as the Mule takes centre stage, along with fan-favourites Bayta, Toran, Ebling and Magnifico Giganticus."

Matt Cherniss, head of programming at Apple TV+, said: "We have all been incredibly impressed with the ambitious, action-packed and imaginative adaptation that David and the rest of this gifted creative team and cast have brough to life with this premium sci-fi series from day one."

The first two seasons of Foundation are available to stream now on Apple TV+.
