Amazon has been struggling to make a real name for its original programming wing over the last few years and they seem to be getting closer and closer to having a reputation similar to Netflix. Transparent is arguably the most important series currently on TV/streaming, but Netflix is known not for having one great series but a half-dozen or more that are really good to great. So, it's shows like Bosch, The Man in the High Castle, and Crisis in Six Scenes that really have a chance to move Amazon into a new realm of admiration.

With Crisis in Six Scenes having just opened to mixed reviews, it now seems like the big debut for the streaming service will be the second season of The Man in the High Castle, their thrilling adaptation of Philip K. Dick's seminal novel of the same name. And though the series isn't as obsessive in details and the nuances of this particular historical fiction, the show had a galvanizing first season that looks to be still being built up in season 2, if the new trailer is any indication. You can take a look at the latest trailer for the series right below and prepare for the run from the Reich to continue when the show returns on December 16th.

Here's the new trailer for The Man in the High Castle Season 2:

Here's the official synopsis for The Man in the High Castle Season 2:

Season two resumes with Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos) facing the consequences of her decision to betray the Resistance and allow Joe Blake (Luke Kleintank), a suspected Nazi agent, to escape the Pacific States with a film originally bound for the Man in the High Castle. Joe himself returns a hero to the Reich and finds himself thrust into the Nazi capital of Berlin, face to face with the father who abandoned him. Meanwhile, Frank Frink (Rupert Evans) becomes increasingly radicalized and drawn further into the Resistance after seeing images of his own execution in the mysterious films.

 

With political tensions mounting between Germany and Japan, Trade Minister Tagomi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) begins to regret his success in smuggling nuclear technology from the Reich and seeks solace in the strange new world he discovered at the end of season one. Meanwhile, Obergruppenführer John Smith (Rufus Sewell) struggles to reconcile the values of the Reich with the deteriorating health of his son — all while tasked with a mission from the Führer for which failure is not an option. And Chief Inspector Kido (Joel de la Fuente) begins to take greater interest in the Man in the High Castle, the films, and how Juliana Crain is connected to it all…
