Lee Pace “Foundation”
Powered by Apple TV+
Earthquakes are happening behind the scenes of Apple TV+’s lavish sci-fi drama foundation.
Co-creator David S. Goyer will step down from his duties as showrunner ahead of the resumption of production on the upcoming third season. Goyer (blade, dark Knight) will continue to be creatively involved with the show, providing scripts from Los Angeles, while executive producer Bill Bost will move to Prague (where the show is filmed) to oversee the filming of Season 3. This means Goyer will effectively no longer serve as showrunner, according to sources, but a representative for the production says he will retain that title (in contrast to an earlier version of this story). There is.
Production on the show was temporarily suspended due to the Hollywood strike, but filming is scheduled to resume on March 6th. Approximately half of the show’s third season was filmed before its hiatus.
In addition, line producer Laurie Borg has resigned and will be replaced by Doug Moreno.
Sources said Goyer and executives at Skydance, the show’s production company, clashed over the budget for next season. TV budgets are under scrutiny across the industry as streamers right-size to increase profitability. In addition to being the show’s executive producer, Bost is the former president of Skydance’s television division and was instrumental in the original development of the series.
Program staff were informed of this change earlier today.
Previously, it was previously announced that Goyer would also step down from directing the remaining episodes (he previously directed three episodes of the show’s first two seasons) and that a replacement director for his episodes would be hired for Season 3. It was reported that.
foundation A centuries-spanning story based on Asimov’s groundbreaking science fiction novel, the author based the idea on ideas Asimov got from the novels of Edward Gibbon. Decline and fall of the Roman Empire. The show stars Lee Pace and Jared Harris, and the first two seasons are available on Apple TV+.
