I love Asimov and the Foundation series. Just brilliant SciFi. "The Mule" especially is some of the most enjoyment I have ever gotten out of a book.
My affinity for the source material definitely has me excited for this adaptation (even on Apple) but I am a little skeptical. Like this thing covers a millennium with stories decades or centuries apart. From the looks of the acting appearances the first season covers the first story "The Psychohistorians" but this is about 60 pages of source material. How does that make a whole season? Are they using some of the prequels, compressing events of the books, or relying on flash backs/forwards to tell the story? There is a lot than can go wrong.
While were at it with the Asimov adaptations I think it's time for another go at "I, Robot". Needs to be an actual mystery story nothing like the Will Smith CGI action fest.
