Hiroyuki Sanada, the hit FX series’ star and producer, has reportedly signed on to reprise his role in a season that goes beyond James Clavell’s novel.
Spoilers for Shōgun season 1 ahead. According to Deadline, Sanada has agreed to return to the show, in which his character battles to become a military dictator in 17th-century Japan. But sources tell the publication that “other elements are still being worked out and deals are being finalized” in an effort to extend Shōgun, which was only meant to last a single season.
“When it came to the final shot, it was just horrific, because it’s only then that I suppose Blackthorne had to be left behind and all of these adventures had to be left behind. And it was just kind of sad, you know? I suppose in a way it was relieving, but also, then you’re just another unemployed actor, and you don't know what's going to come next.” There are at least a few beloved characters who will not return, as long as the second season follows a linear format.
