Similar to the books, Asimov combined the stories "Robot" and "Foundation" through a robotic character named R. Danel Olivav and the "Foundation" TV show set a robotic character in the center of his timetable. In the show, it is the character of Demerzel (played by Laura Byrne) who is unofficially The true protagonist of the storyServing as a bridge between the Galactic Empire and the Foundation's era and the ancient era where robots helped humanity reach the Starswells and leave planet Earth.

From the beginning, the "Foundation" has hinted much larger Demerzel than it permits. According to Goyer, they always wanted to tell the story of Demerzel about the greater history of robotics - how they helped people build spaceships to reach the stars, how they helped build the Galactic Empire, and how the law of the crisis replaced the three laws of robotics. They went to war and eventually became extinct over it.

When Goyer revealed that he had no full access to the whole IP, he found a solution. "Be the little one that with some of these referrals to her in the past," Goyer said, admitting that they would only allude to Demerzel's story, but do not mention anyone by name, specifically R. Danel Olivav, the name Demerzel used to go to the wars of robots as it belonged to the series "Robot" with Fox's rights. But everything has changed thanks to a little film for the baby Antichrist.

Goyer was the producer of the film "Omen" of "Omen" "The First Omen", made in Fox. According to Showrunner, he made a sound mix for the film when Fox's head appeared, Steve Asbel. And, as happened, Asbel was a fan of the "Foundation".

"I said," You know, you could help me here. "So, he had the Fox's Business Department did just that and gave us permission to do it. But that was a happy coincidence, because it literally happened to be in a room with Fox's head, and he was a fan of the show, and sometimes that synchronism in Hollywood works in your favor."

The Foundation will return the fourth season of Apple TV+.
