Cement The third season will pick up 152 years after the end of Second seasonwhich means that a new set of support characters is underway. However, given CementHobby for clones (whether organic or digital) and robots, as well as the people who endure the Criosteep –All the main faces He will also return.
This time jump will advance the action to a time of great discomfort, as provided in the second season of Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) using a combination of mathematics, the quantum device “radiant prime” created by Hari Seldon (Jared Harris) and its own skills. Throughout the second season, he had visits from “The Mule” (which was played in the third season by Pilen Asbæk), an equally powerful psychic hell when wearing the entire galaxy on the heel.
This will not be fine with Empire: the collective name given to the Cleons (played by Cassian Bilton, Lee Pace and Terrence Mann at different ages), the trio of cloned galactic rulers who have kept control for generations, although we saw cracks in the regime that began to appear even in the first season.
As we learned in the second season, Lady Demerzel (Laura Birn) – the latest smart Android, is the only survivor of robot wars – was scheduled to ensure the reign of the Empire by Cleon I, and there is nothing to do to follow this directive. It includes killing Cleons coming out of the line, as well as modifying their memories to almost give the version of the reality that best serves the cause.
On any other place in the galaxy, the Foundation-a civilization broken down by Seldon in the first season, aimed at ensuring humanity’s survival after Seldon’s studies on the “ psycho-history ” planned a period of darkness that soon, a prosperous alliance of the second season, adding millions to its cause and the inverted engineering technology previously previously, including the jumping, They revolutionized the space journey.
What is Cement about?
The Apple TV+ series is based on the Cement Isaac Asimov’s stories, novels and novels; He wrote the first works in the 1940’s and 1950’s and then returned to his world at the end of his career in the 1980’s.
It was established in a very distant future, when the galaxy has long been governed by the Cleonic Dynasty, a trio of clones by Emperor Cleon and at different ages: the young Alba, the middle -aged day and the evening. When the dusk is too old, a new dawn turns and the day becomes sunset. (Empire also maintains replacement spare parts, in case a clone loses before it gets older.)
Although Empire apparently is in charge, the actual architect of the regime is Demerzel, working programming by Cleon I. She manipulates expertly and with the ability to hold several steps of most human minds, but it is not infallible.
And, despite the cunning of Demerzel, the Strangle coupling in the galaxy has begun crumbling. The clones have been slightly corrupt, that is, they are no longer perfect copies of Cleon and; in Cement The second season, the toys of the day of the brother reigning with the notion of taking a woman and producing an heir in the old manner, thus ending with the tradition of cloning.
The fall of Empire is only an element in the predictor of Hari Seldon for the future. In the first season, the Cleons agreed to let Seldon and his followers opt for terminus, a distant planet, to set up the foundations as a way to preserve all the knowledge and hope that they will reduce the length of the dark period. One of the key minds of his mission is Gaal Dornick, a mathematical prodigy who has disturbing visions of a war -torn future.
Hari dies before reaching terminus, although he soon resurrected as two digital copies, one of which mysteriously wins a human body in the second season. Finally he reveals that the foundation’s true intent is to build a completely new civilization. A second foundation, built apart from Terminus, is also part of its plan.
It sounds like many moving parts, as Gaal says, is “a bit sticky”, especially once you add the jumps of the story over time. But in its central nucleus, it is a very classic story: two parts, Empire and the Foundation, as well as a lot of characters trapped between these sides. The third season will be added on a third side with the devilish mule.
Who are the main characters who return Cement?
Gaal Tornick He leaves his home -covered home world after winning a math contest and a part of the Hari Seldon chaotic plate is immediately made. They have had a sharp relationship over the years (and many years have passed; Gaal has been in several stages of Criosleep, and Hari enters a digital life after learning), but at the end of the second season they are fully aligned.
Seldon Day He developed the theory of psychistory, using data to predict the future of civilizations. He designed his own death on the way to Terminus, but was digitally revived twice. As we learned in the first season, there is a Hari hologram on the vault, a mysterious structure located on the terminal; The other accompanies Gaal on his journey away from the original foundation, towards the creation of the second foundation. This latest version of Hari wins an organic body in the second season with the help of an old mathematician, Kalle (Rowena King). Even Hari, the smartest man in the universe, cannot explain how this happened … so don’t think too much.
Empire It consists of the three Cleons: the Dawn, Day and Dusk brothers. They govern the galaxy and have centuries. Some versions of them are more hateful or more friendly than others; The day of the brother we followed in the second season is the 17th Cleon. The third season will be a different (identical) trio that is sitting on the throne 152 years later, all that the same actors play, of course.
As mentioned above, the Empire’s butler Demers He is an Android. Cleons know what it is, but most people assume that it is a constantly reflecting clone as their rulers are. His duty is to serve the Empire, specifically to the wishes of Cleon I, and it is not seen in the three laws of robotics beyond that. (Which means: he can kill and kill), but he really is not a villain, despite his ruthless; It is very clear that when it comes to Empire, Demerzel maintains all the power …except The power to act as you really want you can.
Interpreted by Rowena King, Call He apparently will be a prominent character in the third season. His writings helped Gaal to win this math competition in the first season; In the second season, he makes a couple of enigmatic appearances, including when it helps to transform Hari of the digital being into a human of flesh and blood.
What happened at the end of Cement Second season?
After defeating the powerful psychic leader Tellum Bond (Rachel House), who was dead against the second foundation built in Ignis, the planet he had stated: Gaal and Hari released the “mental” he had kept under a control of the mind. Gaal’s daughter, Salvor (Leah Harvey), gave his life to save Gaal; He was a key character in the seasons one and two, but it seems that he will not return to the third season, although the flashbacks are always a possibility.
Gaal’s vision of the future suggested that mentalism will be a key part of the fight against the mule. After some setbacks, Hari and Gaal decided that they would go to Cryosleep for 150 years to Ignis, waking up periodically to help prepare for the second foundation.
Two other characters of the second season who died at the end: Heroic with Man Hober Mallow (Dimitri Leonidas), faithful to the foundation, and the general of the galactic empire Bel Riose (Ben Daniels). Although they were on the opposite sides in the battle, in the end they were modified when they faced some death, and even shared a really bad wine in a poignant but fun shipment.
The Empire destroyed Terminus, but after having won his victory, Brother Day chose a fight (with Hober and Bel) on an orbit boat and was launched outside the airline. Later we see that the people of the Foundation survive the destruction of their planet by using the Hari vault as an exhaust boat.
Returning to the planet of the trap of the trap, brother Dusk is assassinated by Demerzel after discovering that only Cleon’s wishes and none of the other cells since then. Brother Dawn escapes with the girlfriend allocated to brother’s day; He is pregnant with Dawn’s son. As the occasion asks for it, three new cries are opted and used.
At the end of the end of season, we advanced “152 years later”. The mule, apparently very trembling, speaks in a shady room: “I have to find Gaal Dornick before I find myself. I have to destroy it -even if I have to burn everything to do it.”
What do we know of Cement Third season?
We know what Asimov wrote, but we cannot know with certainty as Cement It will recaliber the plot or specific characters that may be re -trained for dramatic purposes, both things he has done in previous seasons.
However, here is the official synopsis:
)It establishes 152 years after the events of the second season, the Foundation has settled further and further than its humble beginnings, while the Cleonic Dynasty Empire has declined. As both galactic powers were a restless alliance, a threat to the whole galaxy appears in the fearsome form of a war head of war known as the “mule”, the places of interest that are proposed to govern the universe through the use of physical and military force, as well as control of the mind. They are someone who will win, who will lose, who will live, and who will die as Hari Seldon, Gaal Dornick, the Cleons and Demer will play a potentially fatal game of intergalactic chess. “
In addition to Asbæk as a mule, we will meet new characters played by Cherry Jones, Brandon P. Bell, Synnøve Karlsen, Cody Fern, Tómas Lemarquis, Alexander Siddig and Troy Kotsur. There has been no official word of Apple TV+ about who is playing, but the pictures of the new season of the new season and trailer I have offered some visual tracks.
Why should you look? Cement?
World construction can be dense: mental warriors! Clone Rules! Superpower mathematics! A vision of all possible future in an unimaginably vast line of time! A robot to govern them all?, But there is a logic and a symmetry that fits, especially thematically. Cement It is not a show that you can accidentally have in the background and wait to catch all the nuances; Paying a lot of attention will give much more rewards, both in being able to follow the story and to appreciate the occasional, but lighter moments of the show.
The writing and direction are fantastic, and the distribution is a cut above, especially Harris like all the different iterations of Seldon, and the rhythm like all the different iterations of the brother’s day.
Cement Stations 1-2 are in streaming now; The season three premieres on July 11 on Apple TV+.
