Fans can expect that the events in the dystopian Nazi hellscape will not get any better when "The Man in the High Castle" Season 2 returns to Amazon Video this December. The alternate history drama's new trailer and clips hints that the sophomore installment will revolve around political asylum, betrayal and shifting loyalties. It also highlights Juliana Crain's struggles to survive.
At the New York Comic Con
EW reported that the cast and crew of the Emmy-winning Amazon series dropped a new Season 2 trailer, as well as three clips at the New York Comic Con on Saturday. Stars Alexa Davalos (Juliana), Rufus Sewell (Obergruppenführer John Smith), Brennan Brown (Robert Childan), and D.J. Qualls (Ed McCarthy) graced the show's panel, along with executive producer David W. Zucker.
The high-octane trailer continues to show the parallel reality where the Third Reich triumphed during the World War II. It shows the Nazis' dominating force as reflected by commercial airplanes, towering cities and even Marilyn Monroe singing a "Happy Birthday" to the Führer. It also features Joe Blake (Luke Kleintank) contemplating to resign and John Smith haunted by his own guilty conscience.
Juliana's Fate
In addition to the trailer, the panel showed a clip featuring Juliana being interrogated by John Smith and the members of the American Reich. Per Deadline, Davalos told the audience that the upcoming season will see a different Juliana.
The lead actress noted that her character will find herself in the worst possible situation and will be forced to be a chameleon in order to survive. She stressed that Juliana will seek out asylum in the Nazi-controlled part of America.
