MacDailyNews Take: Soon!
Good casting for Hari Seldon. I wonder how far they plan to take series, assuming a best-case full run. There are additional books beyond the original trilogy. Will story follow the novels closely, or be adapted to make “doable” as a TV show?
The books cover a thousand years. Some shows have managed to stretch 2 years into 10 or more.
The Simpsons has managed to turn 1 year into 32! Ha!
