According to the latest data that has been made public of the television adaptation of the science fiction novels that are part of the Isaac Asimov Foundation, which Apple is preparing, this could become the largest production in the history of Ireland, a production that it will start at the end of the year.
Screen Ireland, has announced that the project to carry out this series will allow to hire more than 500 people. Apple is fully confident that the television adaptation of the novels that are part of the Foundation book series become his particular Games of Thrones, a series that was also shot in Ireland.
The first season is made up of 10 episodes. The showrunner for this series is David S. Goyer, who collaborated on the script for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. Jared Harris and Lee Pace are the two best-known faces in the cast, plus Lou Llobell, Leah Harvey, Laura Bim, Terrence Mann, and Cassian Bilton.
Instead of shooting at Tinatic Studios in Belfast, where all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones have been filmed, Apple will use Troy Studios' facilities in Limerick, Ireland's third-largest city. This studio it is three times bigger than the one used to shoot Game of Thrones.
Fundación introduces us to a group of humans spread across different planets throughout the galaxy who live under the rule of the Galactic Empire. The series shows us the story of a gang of exiles who discover that the only way to save the Galactic Empire from destruction is by challenging it.
If we take into account that the recording will begin at the end of this year, it is more than likely that until the middle or the end of 2021 the first episodes are not released.
