On this week’s Deep Dive Episode of Foundation by Story Archives, hosts Mario Busto and Zachary Newton break down the premiere of season two, titled, ‘In Seldon’s Shadow’. It’s been 138 years since season one and the reign of Cleon the 13th is now in the hands of his successor Cleon the 17th, who is anything but a regal example of the Cleonic Dynasty. He’s broken with all tradition, pursuing romantic relationships that could very well put the future of the empire at risk. Meanwhile, somewhere between life and death, Hari is grappling with the steep learning curve of being an immortal 4-dimensional being. On Synnax, we catch up with Gaal and Salvor who are perhaps on the most awkward mother daughter date that’s ever occurred, while they try to find a way off the planet. That is, if Hari and Gaal don’t have a reckoning first. Meanwhile, on the Outer Edge of the galaxy, the Foundation on Terminus is thriving and forming alliances with neighboring planets. Little do they know, the Empire is now aware of their existence.
