Apple TV+ has been flying when it comes to science fiction programming. It’s list of top quality sci-fi series includesSilo,Severance,For All MankindandInvasion, while creepy thrillerConstellationwill debut later this month.

However, one of Apple’s biggest sci-fi shows has hit a rather large speed bump on its path to return to thebest TVsaround.Foundationseason 3 is in a spot of bother, having suffered budget cuts and production issues – so much so that the cast and crew have reportedly been sent home from filming.

According toDeadline, they had convened for the shoot but were told to stand down while the issues are ironed out. There is currently no new start date, it is said.

This isn’t the first delay the show has suffered, around a third of season 3 was allegedly filmed before the strikes hit schedules last year. But this time the reported alteration to the budget could be harder to navigate for a series that relies so heavily on top notch special effects.

We certainly hope the issues are solved speedily though, asFoundationseason 2 ended on something of a cliffhanger.

Critics have rated Foundation 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and it is truly epic in scale. There’s certainly plenty to binge on too, with each season lasting for 10 episodes apiece.
