What Foundation Season 3’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Means For The Show
Foundation Continues To Be A Critical Darling, Which Should Help Its Chances Of Being Renewed
Foundationseason 3’s Rotten Tomatoes score is a very good sign for the future of the franchise.Apple TV+ has built a reputation as the premiere streaming service for science fiction shows, andFoundationis a big part of that brand. It has been a critical darling since season 2, and it seems thatFoundationseason 3 is going to continue that trend.
It’s partly because ofFoundation’s high review scores thatFoundationseason 4 now looks more likely than ever.Foundationseason 3 clearly maintained season 2’s quality, and as long as its viewership holds up as well, it could easily become Apple TV+‘sGame of Thrones. While it may not garner the same widespread popularity asGoTdid, it could still become a flagship series for the streamer.
There’s also plenty more material for future seasons ofFoundationto use. Isaac Asimov wrote sevenFoundationbooks in total, and the show has only just now introduced the Mule, who was a central figure in the second and third novels.Foundationseason 3 has critical appeal, plenty of material, and basically nothing keeping it from continuing.
Our Take On Foundation Season 3’s Critical Reception
Foundation Deserves Its Flowers & I’m Even More Excited For The New Season Now
Foundationis easily one of the best science fiction shows that’s actively releasing new episodes, and I’m glad it’s continuing to get its flowers.Foundationis too well-made, its story is too sprawling and complex, and its world is too well-developed for it to not get critical acclaim. I’m also very glad to see thatFoundationseason 3 at least maintains the same level of quality we’ve come to expect.
Most of all,I’m even more excited forFoundationseason 3 now. Clearly, the show’s creators were doing something right to score 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.Foundationseason 3 also has so much going for it, like the introduction of the Mule, that I can’t imagine it’s anything less than amazing. Hopefully, the critics got it right aboutFoundationseason 3.
