‘Foundation’: Tim Southam To Replace David S. Goyer As Season 3 Director
deadline.comVeteran episodic director Tim Southam (One Piece) has joined Season 3 of Foundation, the Apple TV+ series from Skydance TV.
He will be taking over directing duties from series writer/executive producer David S. Goyer. As Deadline reported, this is one of changes implemented by the series as part of efforts to bring the budget levels down, which led to a delay in the Season 3 restart of production. (Foundation had filmed around half of the season last spring before pausing due to the strike, with scenes done out of sequence.) Southam will complete Episodes 301-303, which Goyer had started.
Approximately 80% of 301 is in the can; the other two episodes are approximately 50% half finished. Filming is slated to begin March 6 in the Czech Republic capital Prague and four Polish cities, the capital Warsaw as well as Kraków, Lublin and Katowice.
Goyer will continue to write and executive produce from Los Angeles. As Deadline previously reported, re-start of production on Season 3, originally scheduled for February, was postponed, with issues related to budgeting and physical production prompting the delay.
