Amazon has debuted the trailer for the second season of “The Man in the High Castle” today during its New York Comic Con panel. Alexa Davalos, Rufus Sewell, Brennan Brown, DJ Qualls and Executive Producer David W. Zucker were at the panel to help promote the new season. All ten episodes will be premiering on Friday, December 16th, on Prime Video in the US, UK Austria and Germany.
The one-hour series is based on the novel by Philip K. Dick where Germany and Japan have won World War II. Germany has taken control over the East Coast and Japan controls the West Coast. A resistance group plots to fight against the Axis Powers in The Rocky Mountains, the “neutral zone.”
Season two resumes with Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos) facing the consequences of her decision to betray the Resistance and allow Joe Blake (Luke Kleintank), a suspected Nazi agent, to escape the Pacific States with a film originally bound for the Man in the High Castle. Joe himself returns a hero to the Reich and finds himself thrust into the Nazi capital of Berlin, face to face with the father who abandoned him. Meanwhile, Frank Frink (Rupert Evans) becomes increasingly radicalized and drawn further into the resistance after seeing images of his own execution in the mysterious films.
With political tensions mounting between Germany and Japan, Trade Minister Tagomi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) begins to regret his success in smuggling nuclear technology from the Reich and seeks solace in the strange new world he discovered at the end of season one. Meanwhile, Obergruppenführer John Smith (Rufus Sewell) struggles to reconcile the values of the Reich with the deteriorating health of his son— all while tasked with a mission from the Fuhrer for which failure is not an option. And Chief Inspector Kido (Joel De La Fuente) begins to take greater interest in the Man in the High Castle, the films, and how Juliana Crain is connected to it all…
