'Man in the High Castle' Finds New Home
What happened
The streaming adaptation of Philip K. Dick's *The Man in the High Castle* found a new home on Netflix, potentially renewing interest in the Hugo-winning alternate history.
Why it matters
The show, which originally streamed on Amazon Prime Video, is based on Philip K. Dick's 1962 novel and ran for four seasons from 2015 to 2019. The series depicts an alternate reality where the Axis powers won World War II, leading to Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan controlling the United States. Amazon's licensing agreement allows Netflix to stream all four seasons in the US, UK, Australia, and most of Europe and Latin America. This is part of Amazon's strategy to generate revenue from its older content. *The Man in the High Castle* was produced by Amazon Studios, Scott Free Productions, Headline Pictures, Electric Shepherd Productions, and Big Light Productions. Frank Spotnitz created the series, with Ridley Scott serving as executive producer. Despite fan interest, there will not be a fifth season of *The Man in the High Castle*. The show was cancelled after its fourth season.
