"The Man in the High Castle," the highly popular and critically acclaimed Amazon series based on the novel by Philip K. Dick, was officially renewed for a second season, entering plot-line territories not covered in the original book. According to a report from Variety, a part of season 2 will be about bringing in other countries to the story.
In the report, series creator Frank Spotnitz stated that while the first season focused primarily on what used to be the United States, the second season will start introducing other places such as Russia and how their alternate political influence will affect the story.
"In season one, by design, you don't know much about what's happening outside of North America," Spotnitz stated. "But other countries start to creep in, and you start to get a sense of the larger geopolitical landscape. And then you'll see a lot more of that in season two."
Spotnitz also stated that in the world of the show, Adolf Hitler did not commit the same mistakes he did in this reality and it is very likely that the situation in Russia and its relationship with Germany and other countries have gone different paths.
In the book that the series is based on, a major player in the background is the nation of the United Kingdom. While the U.S. collapsed under the rule of Nazi Germany and Japan, the United Kingdom managed to remain strong but has gone down a much darker political path than it has in real life.
Very little is known about the second season but season 1 did end with Nobusuke Tagomi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) finding himself in a separate reality, which is highly speculated to be this reality where the Allied Forces defeated the Axis Powers in World War II.
Tagomi's journey through different realities may play a major role in season 2 but one thing that many fans point out is that he may be end up journeying through other realities before traveling back home to his timeline.
