There does seem to be hope the story could be revisited in the future.
Those kinds of endings do give viewers a sense of closure, all without completely closing the door on the characters that viewers have invested all of this time on. That is just my take, though, and could be way off the mark. The story is more concerned with ruminating on ideologies and the importance of history, memory, and even nostalgia in the wake of astonishing subjugation. As in, there may be a sense that the characters’ stories are far from over when the credits roll on the final episode. And to that end, it becomes clear that The Man in the High Castle is less about the plot of Juliana, Joe, John, the American rebellion, or even the larger conflict brewing between Germany and Japan. Julianna Frink visiting Hawthorne Abendsen and asking the Oracle why it wrote The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, the novel-within-a-novel that suggests, contrary to Dick's story, that Germany and Japan lost World War II. However, it does not sound as though it will be a close-ended one. The end of The Man in the High Castle consists of. While Isa Dick Hackett mentions fans being “satisfied” with the conclusion, David Zucker referred to the final season as not being an “absolute culmination.” It does seem as though fans can hope for a conclusion, though. might think that Putnam's would've taken a chance even though news of HIGH CASTLE's success and Hugo Award would not happen until early 1963. As for the finale, that is where things get interesting. With one of the creative minds behind The Office UK and Extras behind the show and it has already been renewed for a second season before the first one has even. He mentions the potential of a film incarnation alongside TV. Mentioning what stories could come after the series’ finale, he muses that they may get a chance to be told in the future.īased on what David Zucker expressed, he is also open to the possibility that if those stories are told via continuations, they may not take place in a strictly televised format. While The Man in the High Castle may be over, it sounds as though its executive producers feel there is more to explore in the world of the series. Find out what happens in our Chapter 12 summary for The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. However, I don’t think you can look at this as an absolute culmination because of the nature of the stories that we’re telling with that. Whether or not we all get to tell them or they get told in another incarnation in film and television, that’s for us to all see.
While we’re bringing this chapter to a conclusion, if one thinks beyond the final frames of this series, it is very provocative to think about what stories may come thereafter.
I think Isa and I both feel that there is a lot more story to tell in this kind of world.
