'Man In The High Castle' Season 2 News: What We Know So Far About Series' New Season
On December, last year, the Amazon Prime Instant Video streaming service announced that its original series "The Man In The High Castle" has been renewed for a second season where it will continue to tell the story of an alternate universe imagined by Philip K. Dick in his novel of the same name.
Premiered on Nov. 20, 2015, the dystopian mystery drama consists of 10 episodes and features the acts of Alexa Davalos (Juliana Crain), Rupert Evans (Frank Frink) and Rufus Sewell (John Smith). Series producer Frank Spotnitz, who is known for his works on "The X-Files," will return to executive produce the second installment with Ridley Scott and Dick's daughter, Isa Dick Hackett.
It is not yet revealed what "Main In The High Castle" Season 2 would be like, although Spotnitz said, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly last year, that he already figured out everything in his mind long before the original season concluded.

Talking about the casting side of things, a much more recent report from Deadline said that actor Sebastian Roche has joined the series for a recurring role of a reichminister Martin Hausmann. The character is described as a "wealthy, high-ranking Nazi official based in Berlin." Hausmann happens to be the long lost father of Joe. The old man has a genuine desire to reconnect with his estranged son. However, his dedication to the party makes him quite a very dangerous man to deal with as he "would not blink twice about the extermination of the enemies of the Reich."
Den of Geek, meanwhile, cited Spotnitz teasing the world of "The Man In The High Castle" is about to get even bigger than Season 1.
"There are glimpses of what's going on with the rest of the planet in the first season," Spotnitz told the media outlet. "There are so many issues to explore and it is science fiction so the reason to tell the story is to reflect back on the world we live in right now."
