No surprise here — after overwhelmingly positive response from critics and fans, Amazon’s original drama series The Man In The High Castle has been renewed for a second season to stream next year. Based on Philip K. Dick’s alt-history novel, the series hails from creator Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files) and Ridley Scott’s Scott Free. The project had been a standout at Amazon since the pilot stage, becoming the service’s most-watched pilot to date.

The Man In The High Castle depicts a divided and drab 1962 America, in which the Nazis rule the East and Midwest and Imperial Japan reigns over the Western states, with a neutral zone between them. The series launched with a provocative marketing campaign featuring Nazi symbols in the context of the show, which made headlines when an ad was pulled from a New York subway car.

The Man In The High Castle is the second Amazon drama series to get to a second season, following Bosch.
