The Man in the High Castle is an American dystopian alternate history television series produced by Amazon Studios. The series is based on the 1962 novel of the same name by American science fiction author Philip K. Dick. The story is an alternate history of the world in which the Axis powers won World War II. The United States has been partitioned into three parts: The Japanese puppet state of the Pacific States of America, which comprises the former United States west of the Rocky Mountains; a German puppet state that comprises the eastern half of the former United States; and a neutral zone that acts as a buffer between the two areas, called the Rocky Mountain States.
Awesome news! The show was so, so great. Immediately ran out to buy the book once I had finished watching. Actually heartbroken that the author couldn't write any sequels himself because of how he felt about what he discovered about Nazis during his research. I need so much more exploration of this world.
After a successful first season, fans can expect that the upcoming season will push the story forward. It was reported that the setting could take place beyond the Pacific States. Spotnitz hinted, "There are glimpses of what's going on with the rest of the planet in the first season. 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."
