Everything to Remember About ‘Foundation’ Season 2 Ahead of Season 3

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-04-07 03:10:43

Foundation season three will pick up 152 years after the end of season two, which means a new set of supporting characters is on the way. However, given Foundation’s fondness for clones (be they organic or digital) and robots—as well as people who endure extended cryosleep—all the main faces will also be back. That time jump will advance the action to a time of great unrest, as predicted in season two by Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) using a combination of mathematics, the “prime radiant” quantum

The second and final season of The Sandman comes to Netflix next month. Netflix's The Sandman, an exquisite and largely faithful adaptation of Neil Gaiman's beloved graphic novel series, proved to be a hit for the streaming giant, racking up nearly 400 million viewing hours between its release on August 5 and September 18, 2022. Yet there was initially some question about whether even those numbers were strong enough to justify a second season of the critically acclaimed series, which cost a bu

The First Trailer for ‘Sandman’ Season 2 Heralds the Beginning of the End

Netflix has stayed as quiet as it can about the second season of Sandman in the wake of the accusations of sexual harassment against series creator Neil Gaiman, but as we draw closer to next month’s arrival of what is now its final season, our first real look at its return really wants to make clear that it is bringing all of this to an end. Although Gaiman remains credited as an executive producer for the series, the new trailer makes no allusions to his role in the series or even an acknowled

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Android 16 looked to be one of the most impressive upgrades to the mobile operating system in recent times. Google teased some seriously cool features that would elevate Android to the next level. However, although some of those expected features made their way to the final release, some did not.

Seastar Seastar is a fast, extensible build system for C, C++, and maybe soon, Rust and Zig as well. I believe that it should be easy to make, prototype, and iterate upon designs.

The 5 Best Griddles and Flat-Top Grills of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Griddle seasoning is, quite simply, protection for your griddle. When a thin layer of oil is heated above its smoke point and allowed to cook off atop the griddle and then cool, it forms a polymer that protects the top of the griddle and leads to better cooks. (Some think that griddle seasoning is to help food not stick to the metal. It may or may not add some nonstick properties, but the main purpose is to protect the griddle against rust and other wear.)

But not everyone agrees with that framing.
