Watch Foundation Season 2: Synopsis

The millennia-spanning Empire begins its collapse as the Foundation prepares for war against its despotic Emperor. Based on the award-winning collection of sci-fi stories by Isaac Asimov, Foundation delivers a breathtakingly cinematic saga with a dramatic story about to go supernova as the show enters its second season. Strap in and read on below for how to watch Foundation Season 2 online.

Chernobyl’s Jared Harris returns as Hari Seldon – a mathematician whose probability-based predictions about the demise of the Galactic Empire pit him against its ruler Cleon XII (Lee Pace) – alongside Lou Llobell (Voyagers) as Seldon’s prophetic protégé Gaal and the BAFTA-nominated Leah Harvey.

The series will also welcome a wealth of new cast members. Among them are Isabella Laughland as Brother Constant, The Wheel of Time’s Sandra Yi Sencindiver, Ella-Rae Smith (Into the Badlands) in the role of Queen Sareth of Cloud Dominion, and Dimitri Leonidas (Riviera, Renegades), an enigmatic figure known as Hober Mallow.

Set 138 years after last season's finale, Season 2 will find Gaal united with Salvor (Harvey) back on Synnax. They’ll discover beings called Mentalics with the power to mould people’s minds as Gaal experiences recurring visions of “despair, death, destruction," and intergalactic conflict looms as the increasingly unhinged Emperor prepares to stamp out the Foundation forces amassing against him.

Dazzled by Dune and gripped by House of the Dragon? Then you’ll be hooked by Foundation’s epic scope and spectacular FX. Keep reading to discover how to watch Foundation Season 2 online.
