Foundation season 3: Plot of the series
Foundation season 3 presents a galaxy heading towards large-scale conflict. The Foundation was created to protect humanity’s future. However, the Empire of the Cleonic Dynasty rapidly deteriorated. Even though they are working together, the two powers are now facing a new threat that they can't stop: The Mule.
The Mule is a warlord who can take over people's minds and is a threat to the whole galaxy, not just the Foundation and the Empire. Hari Seldon and his allies must figure out how to stop him as the fight spirals out of control.
