The acclaimed dystopian alternate history series The Man in the High Castle, starring Rufus Sewell and based on a novel by Philip K. Dick, will be added to Netflix on 11 March. The show, which originally aired on Prime Video from 2015 to 2019, imagines a world where the Axis powers won World War II.
