‘Foundation’ Season 2 Adds 10 New Characters
Foundation season 2 is adding a bunch of new faces– and not all of them are from the books.
Apple teamed with David S. Goyer to bring the epic story of a collapsing empire last year. Foundation Season 1 is about a technology that can predict what’s to come. As well as dangerous plan to save the best of what mankind has created.

Adapting Asimov’s massive and groundbreaking trilogy for television was no small feat and changes were made to the story for the format. More changes are coming in Foundation season 2 – including a bunch of new characters. When I say new, I mean totally new. Bios from Apple/Variety:
Characters from The Books
- Hober Mallow: “A master trader with a sarcastic personality and questionable morals, who is summoned against his will to serve a higher, selfless cause.”
- Bel Roise: “The last great general of the Superliminal Fleet and would-be conqueror of the Foundation. Bel is noble to a fault, but his fealty to the Galactic Empire is waning.”
- Poly Verisof: “High Cleric of the Church of the Galactic Spirit. Whip-smart and sardonic, he’s also a terrible drunk—intelligent enough to see the path he’s on, but too cynical to change.”
New Characters for Foundation Season 2
- Warlord of Kalgan: “A monster of a man, coiled with muscle and possessing powerful psychic abilities, and fueled by hate in his quest to take over the galaxy.”
- Brother Constant: “A cheerfully confident cleric whose job is to evangelize the Church of the Galactic Spirit across the Outer Reach. Constant is a true believer.”
- Warden Jaegger Fount: “The current Warden of Terminus and guardian of its citizens against external threats.”
- Enjoiner Rue: “The beautiful, politically savvy consigliere to Queen Sareth. A former courtesan to Cleon the 16th, Rue parlayed her status to become a royal counselor.”
- Queen Sareth: “Used to being underestimated, Sareth employs it to her advantage, charming her way into the Imperial Palace on a secret quest for revenge.”
- Tellem Bond: “Mysterious leader of the Mentallics.”
- Yanna Seldon: No bio provided – maybe a family member of Harry’s?
That’s a lot of unknowns. Purists complained about the amount of changes made in Season 1. I can’t see those folks being too happy with that list. I liked the first season, but I’m not so sure about that list. We’ll have to see how in pans out in October.
Oh, hey, we also got a new on set photo featuring Demerzel, Harry, and Brother Day in a shirt.
