Patrick Redmond/Apple TV + Jared Harris and Lee Pace return for 'Foundation' season 2.

Last season saw the aversion of the first crisis but what's summer without a sequel and the second crisis is here to slay.

Based on Isaac Asimov's award-winning stories, Foundation chronicles a band of exiles on their unprecedented journey to rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire. Crucial individuals transcending space and time are faced with deadly crises, shifting loyalties, and complicated relationships that will ultimately determine the fate of humanity.

Adapted by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins), Foundation stars Jared Harris as Dr. Hari Seldon, a mathematician who can predict the future using, you know, math, and Lee Pace as the newly crop-topped Brother Day, one of three clone emperors of the Genetic Dynasty, with Lou Llobell as Seldon's protégée Gaal Dornick, Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, Dornick's daughter and a hero of the first crisis, Laura Birn as android majordomo to the emperors Eto Demerzel, Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, and Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn.

New faces this season include Isabella Laughland (Brother Constant), Kulvinder Ghir (Poly Verisof), Sandra Yi Sencindiver (Enjoiner Rue), Ella-Rae Smith (Queen Sareth of Cloud Dominion), Dimitri Leonidas (Hober Mallow), Ben Daniels (Bel Roise), Holt McCallany (Warden Jaegger Fount), Rachel House (Tellem Bond), and Nimrat Kaur (Yanna Seldon).
