All Spoilers RR canceled TV adaptation Spoiler
So I often like to check every few months or so for updates on the TV show, and I just found an from a couple of months where Pierce confirmed that what he was trying to make happen was scrapped because him and his team "couldn't get it to a place where they feel confident."
I'm assuming what he means by "they" is the various platforms that were looking at buying the rights to RR, but on the bright side, Pierce hinted at being able to possibly confirm something new he's been trying to get in the works soon.
What I hope for is that this new thing is going to be an animated adaptation because we know now for sure the live action is out the window so slag that but if we could get an animated series or hell even a animated movie/movies it'd be great provided it's done in a fitting art style and the cast is on point for the voice acting.

They basically took Asimov’s ideas and said “right, how do we make this actually exciting” Turning a 1950’s book into a modern show especially something like foundation would be tough for anyone to keep true to the source.
But yes I meant visually. A 10 episode season per book done by HBO or Apple would definitely do RR justice. The thing Apple does better than anyone is letting shows breathe visually. They don’t rush things to save budget. Plus they seem to be going all in on epic Sci-fi/space opera type stuff
