Lee Pace stars in ‘Foundation’ (Photo credit courtesy of Apple)
Apple TV+ has officially given Foundation a renewal order, with a second season announced prior to season one’s fourth episode. The sci-fi series is based on Isaac Asimov’s award-winning trilogy and stars Jared Harris and Lee Pace, with David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight trilogy) guiding Foundation as showrunner and executive producer.
“Since my childhood I’ve dreamed of how Hari Seldon and Eto Demerzel would look and sound — what Terminus and Trantor would feel like,” stated Goyer. “Now, with season two, our audience will get to visit more of Asimov’s indelible characters and worlds, including Hober Mallow, General Bel Riose, and all the Outer Suns. I’m thrilled that a whole new generation of fans are reading Asimov’s brilliant masterwork. We’re playing the long game with Foundation and I’m grateful to my partners at Apple and Skydance for entrusting me with this epic. Buckle up. We’re about to fold some serious space.”
Season one premiered on September 24, 2021 and has six new episodes still to air.
“We have been so excited to watch global audiences embrace the captivating, suspenseful and breathtaking thrill ride that is Foundation,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “We know how long fans of these beloved Asimov stories have waited to see his iconic work brought to life as a visually spectacular event series and now we can’t wait to showcase even more of the richly layered world, compelling storytelling and stunning world-building in season two.”
In addition to Goyer, the Skydance Television production has Robyn Asimov, Josh Friedman, Cameron Welsh, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Bill Bost involved as executive producers.
“David Goyer’s Foundation has surpassed all my expectations by bringing my father’s philosophy and ideas to the screen in ways he could never do while staying true to his work,” said Robyn Asimov. “I know my father would have been proud to see his iconic story come to life through the show’s visual beauty and the layered characters, understanding full well his words would need this cinematic translation. My father was deeply indebted to his fans, to their loyalty and always hoped his work would pass through to following generations. The ‘Foundation’ series is fulfilling his wish (and mine) by introducing his work to a vast array of new readers. Given the cerebral nature of the Foundation books, this series is a tour de force.”
The season one cast also features Lou Llobell, Leah Harvey, Laura Birn, Terrence Mann, Cassian Bilton, and Alfred Enoch.

The monumental adaptation chronicles the stories of four crucial individuals transcending space and time as they overcome deadly crises, shifting loyalties and complicated relationships that will ultimately determine the fate of humanity.
When revolutionary Dr. Hari Seldon predicts the impending fall of the Empire, he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilization. Enraged by Hari’s claims, the ruling Cleons — a long line of emperor clones — fear their unrivaled reign may be weakening as they’re forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their powerful legacy forever.
In this week’s new episode, “Barbarians at the Gate,” Salvor faces off with an enemy of the Empire. Brothers Day and Dusk are at odds, while Brother Dawn wrestles with his truth.

HBO Max’s What Happened, Brittany Murphy? examines the career, private life, and death of the actress who died under bizarre circumstances at 32. The official trailer shows a smiling Murphy at the height of her career as well as in the more troubled period just prior to her death.
Brittany Murphy’s life is remembered via interviews with friends and co-stars as well as footage from her films and TV projects. In particular, the months leading up to her death are examined along with Murphy’s relationship with her husband, a controversial figure who also died unexpectedly less than a year after Murphy passed away. Both Murphy and Monjack’s deaths were attributed to pneumonia and severe anemia.
Emmy nominee Cynthia Hill (Private Violence) directed and Mary Lisio, James Buddy Day, and Blumhouse’s Jason Blum, Chris McCumber, and Jeremy Gold executive produced. What Happened, Brittany Murphy? was produced by Blumhouse Television and Pyramid Productions.
The Max Original two-part documentary will premiere on Thursday, October 14, 2021.
HBO Max released the following description of the docuseries:
“The documentary is an intimate, in-depth character portrait of actress Brittany Murphy, going beyond the headlines to explore the mysterious circumstances surrounding her tragic death at 32 years old.
A captivating actress as effervescent on-screen as she was off, Murphy was a rising star whose movies helped define a generation. But in 2009, Murphy’s untimely passing ended her promising career, while the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death quickly became fodder for speculation and conspiracy theories. Featuring new archival footage and interviews with those closest to her, What Happened, Brittany Murphy? goes beyond the tabloid rumors to examine the impact of Hollywood’s sexism on her struggles, as well as lingering concerns about her relationship with husband Simon Monjack. Sensitive and nuanced, the docuseries explores the legacy of a unique talent.”
On a personal note, I interviewed Brittany Murphy multiple times over the years and always found her to be a delightful interview with a contagious smile. RIP Brittany.

NBC’s New Amsterdam season four episode three found the hospital staff dealing with the surprise announcement that Dr. Max Goodwin and Dr. Helen Sharpe are leaving. Up next, episode four – “Seed Money” – will air on Tuesday, October 12, 2021 at 10pm ET/PT.
The cast of season four is led by Ryan Eggold as Medical Director Max Goodwin. Janet Montgomery returns as Dr. Lauren Bloom, Freema Agyeman stars as Dr. Helen Sharpe, Jocko Sims plays Dr. Floyd Reynolds, and Tyler Labine is Dr. Iggy Frome. Michelle Forbes guest stars as Dr. Fuentes.
“Seed Money” Plot: Max struggles with a new fiscal reality at the hospital. Dr. Sharpe is on a mission to provide follow-up cancer screenings for patients before it’s too late. Bloom grapples with Dr. Shinwari’s new overnight schedule. Reynolds has an interesting conversation with Dr. Malvo about their future.
After a turbulent year of sacrifice and hardship, Medical Director Max Goodwin and the team at New Amsterdam begin a well-deserved new chapter in their lives. The opening episode, titled “More Joy,” reflects both the drive of characters and the tone of season four. More joy: How can we find it, and how can we hold on to it?
For Max that means acknowledging and surrendering to his long simmering feelings towards Dr. Helen Sharpe. While this new relationship brings its own set of challenges, Max continues his optimistic – and quixotic – quest to improve our nation’s healthcare system.
Continuing to navigate their own personal journeys – including Dr. Bloom’s relationship with Dr. Leyla Shinwari, who is now her resident, Dr. Frome’s new career and Dr. Reynolds’ personal entanglements – the doctors will strive to embrace the joy and successes in their lives.
But there is a surprise in store for our heroes. Dr. Veronica Fuentes is joining the New Amsterdam team to help turn around the overburdened and underfunded hospital. Her first order of business will be to tear down every progressive program Max has erected. Max will have his work cut out for him if he is going to outwit this calm, poised and fearless fixer.

Sony Pictures has just released the official trailer for the latest installment in the Resident Evil franchise, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. This new Resident Evil origin story reboots the franchise and promises to be a more faithful adaptation of the popular video game that inspired the previous RE films.
Franchise star Milla Jovovich doesn’t return for this Resident Evil reboot. Instead, Welcome to Raccoon City welcomes Kaya Scodelario, Hannah John-Kamen, Robbie Amell, Tom Hopper, Avan Jogia, Donal Logue, and Neal McDonough to the world of zombie dogs and other horrifying creatures.
Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, The Strangers: Prey at Night) wrote the screenplay and directs the R-rated video game adaptation. Robert Kulzer, James Harris, and Hartley Gorenstein serve as producers, with Martin Moszkowicz, Victor Hadida, and Jeremy Bolt executive producing. Franchise veteran Paul W.S. Anderson is also involved as an executive producer.
Sony’s planning a November 24, 2021 theatrical release.
The Plot:
Returning to the origins of the massively popular Resident Evil franchise, fan and filmmaker Johannes Roberts brings the games to life for a whole new generation of fans. In Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, once the booming home of pharmaceutical giant Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City is now a dying Midwestern town. The company’s exodus left the city a wasteland…with great evil brewing below the surface. When that evil is unleashed, a group of survivors must work together to uncover the truth behind Umbrella and make it through the night.
Noomi Rapace and Hilmir Snær Guðnason star in A24’s ‘Lamb’
Stunning cinematography, the perfect score, and stellar performances by Noomi Rapace and Hilmir Snaer Gudnason make A24’s Lamb a feast for the senses. Lamb’s a weirdly wonderful and horrifyingly twisted relationship drama that asks us to embrace the bizarre and take nurture’s side in its battle with nature.
The story opens with a view of an isolated farm cloaked in a swirl of snow and clouds and covered with an icy blanket. Deep guttural breathing can be made out and horses flee from an unseen presence methodically making its way through the snow. Sheep nervously pace in a barn as the door to their enclosure opens, causing some of the flock to squeeze their wooly bodies into a safe space at the back of the building.
The farm’s human presence comes in the form of Maria (Rapace) and Ingvar (Gudnason) who quietly go about the task of living. It’s not immediately apparent if their minimal verbal exchanges are simply the norm for their relationship; tending their animals and working the land doesn’t require much conversation.
The sheep take up a good deal of the couple’s attention and assisting pregnant ewes with the delivery of lambs is part of their routine throughout the long winter months. It’s during the delivery of one particular lamb that the couple’s heartbreaking past is revealed. The special delivery provides the answer as to why the couple’s interactions feel disconnected and why an aura of sadness surrounds them.
Unlike the other newborns, this lamb is taken from its mother and brought to live in the couple’s home. Maria and Ingvar treat this lamb as their own child and the veil of grief is lifted as little Ada brings joy back into their lives.
First-time feature film director Valdimir Jóhannsson makes us fall deeply in love with this strange little Icelandic family. We do so like lambs to the slaughter, hopeful and optimistic this unique threesome’s love for each other will be enough to overcome all obstacles. So what if Ada will never be accepted by outsiders or live a normal life. Maybe it’s even against our better instincts that we’re pulling for Maria and Ingvar. After all, Ada’s an aberration, albeit one who looks adorable in overalls and boots.
Valdimir Jóhannsson and co-writer Sjón, along with outstanding effects and puppetry, make it incredibly easy to suspend our disbelief and accept the unusual family dynamic central to Lamb. The film has a Grimms’ Fairy Tales vibe and is ultimately just as dark and twisted. There’s always a price to pay for upsetting the natural order of things, and and co-writers Jóhannsson and Sjón’s stunning third act fulfills the need to set things right no matter the cost.
