Apple TV+ delivers a shiny new trailer for Isaac Asimov's 'Foundation'

Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference 2020 presentation wasn't all tech news. We also got a slick-looking trailer for the Apple TV+ original Foundation.

It's based on the series of novels by Isaac Asimov and it's a big story. Here's how Apple describes this take: "[T]he epic saga ... chronicles a band of exiles on their monumental journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire."

Sure, let's go with that! You're not getting all the answers here because you're not supposed to. But there's a lot to like about what we're seeing here. Especially with a cast that features Jared Harris, Lee Pace, Lou Llobell, Leah Harvey, Laura Birn, Terrence Mann, and Cassian Bilton.

Foundation is coming to Apple TV+ sometime in 2021.
