'Man in the High Castle' season 2 news, spoilers: Premiere date announced, Bella Heathcote joins cast as Joe's love interest, EP weigh in on recent shake-up
Historical drama "The Man in the High Castle" has been recently confirmed to premiere on December, and nothing much has changed since the behind-the-scenes shake-up which happened earlier this Spring.
During Amazon's presentation for the Television Critics Association, the cast and creators were present to share the latest scoop on the upcoming season. Creator Frank Spotnitz previously left the show due to creative differences but according to executive producer David Zucker, no one has taken Spotnitz's post yet.
"We're running, in many ways, like a republic," Zucker told the press (via The Verge). He further explained how valuable it is to get insights from everyone involved in the program and making production a collective effort. "There are senior powers in every aspect of the realization of the show, and that frankly is something Frank himself instituted. I don't know how somebody could accomplish something of this ambition without putting incredible stock in what your cast has to say, to your keys, to your designers, to your directors," he added.
Aside from the titular man in the high castle, viewers will also meet a new character named Nicole (Bella Heathcote) who becomes Joe Blake's (Luke Kleintank) new love interest.
Season 2 will see Juliana as she deals with the fall of the resistance while Joe makes his way to Berlin. Meanwhile, Frank will become more radicalized when he witnesses something important in the mysterious films. In the latest teaser trailer, Juliana was being held captive by unknown men. She managed to escape the car trunk she was placed in, and one of the men tried to shoot her. She was able to run away just in time but she appears to have some injuries.
Tune in for all-new episodes of "The Man in the High Castle" season 2 which premieres on Friday, Dec. 16 on Amazon Prime Video.
