Shōgun star and producer Hiroyuki Sanada has inked a deal to return for potential season 2
Everyone loved Shōgun , right? What’s not to appreciate about FX’s drama? It’s a rare gem of a book adaptation, beautifully developing the world of James Clavell ’s novel while managing to turn it into a unique on-screen experience. In short, it’s a fantastic 10-episode limited series that tells the tale of Japan’s Lord Yoshii Toranaga in the feudal era of the 1600s. But if we’ve learned one thing via peak TV and the rise of streaming, it’s that nothing can be sacred anymore.
It’s TBD if Gai-Jin will inspire season two, but probably not if Sanada returns. The actor and producer has inked a deal to come back as Toranaga if the series is renewed. Per Deadline, his involvement is “considered crucial to any plan to extend beyond its original installment.” Created by Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo, Shōgun is FX’s most expensive original to date and it took six years to make.
