Robin missed the key recent news, which is this:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/foundation-david-s-goyer-steps-down-showrunner-season-3-1235834630/

Suffice it to say, the production (temp) shutdown and the showrunner
replacement definitely have me nervous.

It's also another sign that we're not going to be getting wildly
extravagantly expensive, effects-laden shows anymore...

Deadline has the story, but it was added to the website as I was
finishing up this list and I wanted to get the list posted here.

This is Deadline's story in case it adds anything:

‘The Foundation’ Replaces Line Producer, Brings Skydance EP To Set Ahead
Of Season 3 Production Restart

https://deadline.com/2024/02/the-foundation-changes-line-producer-replacement-season-3-production-restart-david-goyer-1235836426/

And the story in The Hollywood Reporter has been updated to say that
Goyer retains the title of showrunner, FWIW.
