David S. Goyer is the showrunner and executive producer of Foundation, from studio Skydance. Josh Friedman, Robyn Asimov, and Skydance Television’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Marcy Ross are also executive producing.
The original Foundation trilogy was first published as eight short stories in Astounding Magazine from 1942 to 1950. They first began appearing as fixup novels in 1951, with the publication of Foundation, made up of the first four short stories. The other four were split between 1952’s Foundation and Empire and 1953’s Second Foundation. Asimov returned to the world of Foundation in 1982 with the novel Foundation’s Edge. He followed that in 1986 with the sequel Foundation and Earth, and then the prequels Prelude to Foundation in 1988 and Forward the Foundation in 1993. These prequels connected Foundation Asimov’s other sci-fi universe, those of the Galactic Empire series and the Robot series.
