The Man in the High Castle‘s Season 3 future has been placed in doubt with the departure of showrunner Frank Spotnitz over creative differences, per Deadline:
Sources tell me that the showrunner behind the Amazon series based on Philip K Dick’s 1962 alternative history novel leftHigh Castle in the past few days after clashing with the streaming service over the production of the Season 2 of the show. No new showrunner is being brought on board to replace the Europe-based Spotnitz and the current production team will take over his responsibilities.
Amazon said via statement:
Given the ambition and scope of the series, the decision has been made to locate all creative efforts onThe Man in the High Castle to the west coast; Frank Spotnitz will remain as an Executive Producer and step back from showrunner. His responsibilities will be managed by our deep and talented bench of producers. We are enormously grateful to him for bringing our customers on one of the most watched original shows on Amazon Video and we are excited about the team’s vision for season two.)
Season 2, all being well, is slated to be released on Amazon later this year.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of High Castle Season 3…
