Executive Producer Robin Asimov reveals this is the series' strong suit.
The Big Picture One of the best behind-the-scenes elements of Foundation is that the sci-fi series is in the best hands possible: Robyn Asimov, the daughter of the author who brought Foundation to life, acts as an executive producer for the series – which means that she has first-hand knowledge of the elements that her father would like to see on the screen. In an interview with Collider's Therese Lacson, Asimov revealed what she likes best about the Apple TV+ series.
During the interview, Asimov addressed one frequent criticism that readers used to make about her father’s body of work. A prolific writer, Isaac Asimov penned over 500 stories in his lifetime – sometimes alone, sometimes along with other writers. That means the acclaimed writer was more interested in getting his ideas on paper than to work on the characters he created to tell those stories.
“I love the character development. That was not my father’s strong suit, and not necessarily his interest per se. It was all about the storytelling, and he did that so well that it was okay that the characters were a bit flat. What David [S. Goyer] did was especially... I love the Cleon story. He gave life to these characters, and it brought the story to another level. The story was great anyway, but I think if, if my father had lived to see this, I think he would have been very, very impressed.
Asimov Is Overseeing All Decisions Made in 'Foundation' Having Asimov’s daughter on the production team was certainly one factor that allowed series creator David S. Goyer and his writing team to play around with the Foundation novel series and not stick strictly to the original trilogy.
Foundation features Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lee Pace as Brother Day, Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn, Ben Daniels as Bel Riose, Dimitri Leonidas as Hober Mallow and Nimrat Kaur as Yanna Seldon. Even though Apple TV+ is yet to announce the Season 3 renewal, Goyer has told Collider that all episodes have already been written.
