The hunt for the truth is at the forefront of the trailer for Disclaimer, the Apple TV+ psychological thriller from Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón.

Cate Blanchett stars as Catherine Ravenscroft, a documentary journalist who has made her bones by uncovering difficult secrets. Now, the tables have turned, with Catherine becoming the hunted, not the hunter. An unknown author sends Catherine a mysterious novel that exposes her dark truths. If these revelations become public, Catherine’s entire world will come crashing down. It’s now a race to expose the author’s identity and stop the book from seeing the light of day.

“The world needs to know who Catherine Ravenscroft really is. The world needs to know the truth,” Kevin Kline’s Stephen says to Catherine’s assistant.

The title, also stylized as Disclaimer*, includes this note: “Any resemblance to persons living or dead is not a coincidence.”

Lee Pace stares into the distance while another man looks at him in Foundation.

David S. Goyer told his writers before starting work on season 2 of Foundation that "the training wheels are off." Foundation, the sci-fi drama co-created by Goyer and Josh Friedman that's based on Isaac Asimov's book series, returns to Apple TV+ for its second season on July 14. With so much exposition and worldbuilding in season 1, Goyer, the showrunner on Foundation, and his team were happy to "dive right in and start the story" to begin season 2.

It has been two years since the season 1 finale, but more than a century has passed in the series' timeline. The impending Second Crisis is on the horizon, with the galaxy's fate in the hands of "crucial individuals" that transcend time and space. Foundation stars Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, Lee Pace as Brother Day, Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick, Leah Harvey as Salvor Hardin, Laura Birn as Demerzel, Terrence Mann as Brother Dusk, and Cassian Bilton as Brother Dawn.
