A dark power is rising in Foundation’s new season 3 trailer

The first teaser for season 3 of Apple TV Plus’ Foundation hinted at some of the changes coming with the series’ massive timeskip. But the show’s latest trailer really hammers how much wilder this story is about to get.

Though Foundation’s third season jumps 152 years into the future and picks up at a time when the Cleonic Dynasty’s Empire has lost much of its power, those allied with The Foundation know that peace isn’t guaranteed. Gaal (Lou Llobell) has every reason to stay vigilant about whatever treachery Brother Day (Lee Pace) might be plotting in the shadows. But as tense as relationships between The Foundation and what’s left of the Empire are, both sides can recognize how much more danger is coming their way as a telepath known as the Mule (Pilou Asbæk) appears with a plan to conquer the galaxy.

In addition to showing off some of the psychic battle that will unfold as Gaal and the Mule eventually meet face-to-face, the trailer highlights how much bigger and more explosive Foundation’s action will be. We’re a little over a month of from the new season’s premiere on July 11th, so if you’ve been meaning to catch up, now’s the time.
