Not sure if we're doing #Foundation tin-foil here or not, but when they announced it, I assumed that Season 1 would be “The Mayors” with flashbacks to “The Encyclopedists” and “The Psychohistorians”; Season 2 would be an amalgam of “The Traders”, “The Merchant Princes”, and “The General”; and Seasons 3 and 4 would be some subdivision of “The Mule”, “Search by the Mule”, and “Search by the Foundation”.
