Oscar-winning actor Troy Kotsur is the new addition to the third season of Foundation.

As per Variety, in Foundation, Kotsur will feature as Preem Palver, described as "the leader of a planet of psychics." The sci-fi series is being headlined by Lee Pace and Jared Harris. Also, the project marks Kotsur's return to Apple TV+ after he previously starred in the film CODA, which was distributed by the streaming arm of the tech giant.

Foundation, based on Isaac Asimov's iconic trilogy, follows the story of The Foundation, a group of exiles who seek to save the Galactic Empire from its inevitable demise. The series boasts a stellar cast including Jared Harris and Lee Pace, and Kotsur's addition is sure to add even more depth to the ensemble.

In the upcoming season, Kotsur will take on the role of Preem Palver, the leader of a planet of psychics. His character is set to play a crucial role in the unfolding saga, as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

The third season of Foundation was supposed to begin production this month, but owing to budgetary and physical production concerns, the date has been pushed back to March 6.

Kotsur has demonstrated his versatility and talent as an actor by participating in a number of different film and television projects in addition to his work on Foundation. 

Foundation is produced for Apple by Skydance Television, with David S. Goyer serving as showrunner and executive producer alongside Jane Espenson, Leigh Dana Jackson, Roxann Dawson, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Matt Thunell, and Robyn Asimov, who also contribute as executive producers.
