What’s next for The Man in the High Castle? Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, executive producer David Zucker teases plans for the Amazon drama’s reportedly renewed third season.
On what Season 3 has in store for Joe:
With the actions that John has taken, Joe is as unmoored as he was when he started season 2, in many ways. Part of what will be interesting to discover in season 3 is how the power vacuum that now exists in Berlin will [affect the characters] going forward. Obviously, he’s going to have to contend with that.
On where the broader story will go in Season 3:
That’s a hard question to answer, because we’re [planning on] bringing a new showrunner to the show for season 3. That’s going to give us an opportunity to not only bring in a fresh perspective into the series-building on all that has transpired to date, but I think what we’re trying to do right now is really examine and evaluate what’s worked effectively and what through-lines we feel we can continue to build on. That’s the work that’s going to be done in the next few months.
On whether real-world events and politics will help shape Season 3:
Well, I think it can’t help but affect it. The truth is that we are in some ways being confronted with some very profound questions in terms of, does something like Nazism rise from a particular culture or is it something that’s more endemic to who we are as human beings? What are you willing to abide by in terms of surrendering rights and freedoms for a sense of protection? These are such significant questions, and ones that we’re all confronted with, certainly in terms of reading about what’s happening domestically and internationally. That’s something that lives within us that we can debate as it relates to a show set in 1962, but in our day-to-day lives as well.
Stay tuned as we await the official High Castle Season 3 renewal announcement…
