Which alternate history TV series was executive produced by Ridley Scott?

The story behind the answer

The Man in the High Castle is the alternate-history television series executive produced by Ridley Scott.

Created by Frank Spotnitz, the Amazon series imagines a parallel world in which Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan won the Second World War. The story is based on Philip K. Dick's 1962 novel and explores life in a divided United States under Axis rule, along with mysterious films that appear to show another version of history.

Scott served as an executive producer through his company Scott Free Productions. The series premiered its pilot in January 2015, became a full Amazon order later that year and ran for four seasons from 2015 to 2019. Its principal cast included Alexa Davalos, Rufus Sewell, Luke Kleintank and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.

The distractors are also alternate-history or speculative dramas, but Scott was not the executive producer identified with those series. The show's title refers to the mysterious figure believed to be creating and distributing the forbidden films.
