Foundation Season 2 Review
Attempting to bring a little Hollywood glamour to television, the second season adds a dash of humor to an otherwise grim and frightening universe. However, the show isn’t without its share of horrific scenes that will give you the willies.
At times, a more straightforward narrative may have been more successful in Foundation, but the juxtaposition of genres and tales makes it seem crowded. Sure, some of the subplots are stronger than others, but that’s par for the course with series like these. On the whole, however, it’s an enormous film with huge promise.
Foundation season 2 filming locations
The second season’s Prague shooting reportedly started in April 2022, as per Prague Reporter. Similar to the previous season, Tenerife in the Canary Islands, the deserts of Malta, the snow fields of Iceland, studios in Ireland, and even Berlin will be used for additional shooting locations.
Leah Harvey said in the summer of 2022 that she was shooting Foundation season 2 on the island of Fuerteventura, which is largely volcanic and would be the ideal location to become a hostile alien planet.
Foundation Season 2 Trailer
Season 2 of The Foundation is set to keep the science fiction series’ grandiose scope.

A dramatic reentry into the environment in a one-person pod serves to intercut clips from the new season, which includes several spectacular views of unearthly grandeur, with the human aspect of this larger-than-life narrative. Despite the terrifying length of season one’s voyage, “the mission had just begun,” as the trailer’s voiceover narration hints.
