It's almost time to bid farewell to Foundation season 3. There are only two episodes remaining of the sci-fi epic's latest season and, considering its two predecessors have had grandstand finishes, I expect this latest installment will go out with a bang, too.

So, when will this season's penultimate chapter, titled 'The Paths That Choose Us', be available to watch on Apple TV+? As I have every week throughout the show's most recent run, I'll reveal when it should air on the streaming platform. A full episode release schedule can also be found at the end of this article, so you can block out some time in your own schedule to catch its likely explosive finale when it arrives, too.

What is the launch date for Foundation season 3 episode 9?

'The Paths That Choose Us' is slated to drop on Apple's streaming service on Friday, September 5. Just like the previous eight weeks, it might come out a day earlier (September 4) in North and South America due to the time zones that these continents operate on.

Want to know when episode 9 of Foundation's third season could be released? Unfortunately, Apple doesn't publicly disclose when new episodes of its TV Originals will air. The times outlined below, then, are the best predictions I can make. They're guesses made based on when other episodes of Foundation have launched on Apple TV+, though, so this information isn't without substance:

  • US – Thursday, September 4 at 9pm PT / Friday, August 8 at 12am ET
  • Canada – Thursday, September 4 at 9pm PT / Friday, August 8 at 12am ET
  • UK – Friday, September 5 at 5am BST
  • India – Friday, September 5 at 9:30am IST
