Foundation fans, the wait is almost over: Apple TV+ has just released the first official trailer for the show's highly anticipated Season 3, and it offers a dazzling preview of what's to come. True to form, it teases jaw-dropping visuals and galaxy-spanning tension that make the series feel more ambitious than ever, and fans will get to return to this universe on July 11 when the first of 10 episodes drops. The rest will debut weekly through Sept. 12.
Season 3 picks up 152 years after the events of last season, with the Foundation having grown far beyond its early ideals while the once-mighty Cleonic Empire teeters on the edge of collapse. Meanwhile, a warlord called The Mule threatens to take over the galaxy via a combination of brute force and psychic manipulation.Adapted from author Isaac Asimov's Foundation series of novels, the Apple show has earned praise for its storytelling and epic scale, not to mention the standout performances from Jared Harris, Lee Pace, and Lou Llobell. And, of course, anyone who's watched it can't help but be awed by the series' cinema-quality visuals — including everything from colossal starships to sweeping shots of alien worlds, as well as the intricate set pieces that make Foundation feel closer to a blockbuster feature film than mere TV.

One commenter on the just-released Season 3 trailer nailed the vibe: 'Is it just me or did they go all in on the budget for this season? Looks beyond insane.'
Apple's hit series, produced by Skydance Television and helmed by Batman Begins writer David S. Goyer, also continues to grow its universe with new characters played by Cherry Jones, Pilou Asbæk, Troy Kotsur, and more. Meanwhile, familiar faces like Demerzel (Laura Birn), Brother Dawn (Cassian Bilton), and Brother Dusk (Terrence Mann) return to a story that's becoming more danger-filled and more unpredictable than ever.
With Season 2 still holding a flawless 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, Foundation has become Apple TV+'s crown jewel in the sci-fi genre space. And judging by the new trailer, the best may be yet to come.

One of Netflix's biggest TV series of all time is going out with a bang next week
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Almost four years after its debut became a global phenomenon that redefined what a streaming hit can look like, Squid Game is preparing to take its final bow. The third and final season of Netflix's dystopian juggernaut hits the streamer June 27, and it promises to end the story the same way it began — with violence, and a whole lot of blood. Season 3 picks up in the rubble of Season 2's devastating finale, where Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) was betrayed and left reeling. His attempted rebellion against the architects of the game nearly succeeded — that is, until the Front Man, hiding in plain sight as Player 001, shattered the plan and executed Gi-hun's closest ally, Jung-bae, in cold blood. Now Gi-hun is blaming himself, unaware that the real knife in his back came from someone he trusted. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 As always, Squid Game doesn't wait around for any of the players to catch their breath. As the games resume, the stakes climb even higher. This time, the rounds are more brutal and the choices even more personal. According to Netflix, surviving players will face moral and emotional reckoning with every decision they make. Meanwhile, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) isn't just back in charge; he's welcoming a new slate of mysterious VIPs while keeping his own secrets intact. And In-ho's brother, Jun-ho, is still on the hunt for the island, unaware that betrayal may be closer than he thinks. Writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk has promised to give the Netflix hit an epic send-off. Can we expect redemption? Or will the cruelty of the game consume what little humanity remains? To build anticipation, Netflix has also turned Squid Game into a global event, with real-world activations echoing the show's many iconic moments. Beginning June 6 in Shibuya, Tokyo, fans have been stepping into immersive pop-up spaces featuring the show's signature guards and re-enactments of its games. And the activations are spreading across the globe, with events in New York and Germany (June 20), Thailand (June 25), Saudi Arabia, Italy, and Indonesia (June 26), and a grand finale in Korea and Taiwan (July 6). Fans will get to try legacy games and even experience new ones like Jump Rope, recreated with chilling detail. The final season marks one last chance to see how far the game will go, and whether anyone can break its grip. Ready or not, Squid Game ends next week. And for Gi-hun and the rest, there's no going back.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 Premiere Date Set — Plus, Check Out the Trailer and… Was That a Kiss?!?
Just like when one door closes, another opens — or someone croaks, a walker rises — as one season ends, another begins. During Sunday's Season 2 finale of the Negan-and-Maggie-centric Walking Dead: Dead City, AMC dropped a trailer for Season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon — and revealed that the fifth spinoff in the franchise would return on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 9/8c. Per the show's official logline, 'Season 3, which filmed in Spain, will follow Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) as they continue their journey to somehow return home and to the ones they love. As they struggle to find their way back, the path takes them farther astray, leading them through distant lands with ever-changing and unfamiliar conditions as they witness the various effects of the walker apocalypse.'
