FX's hit series 'Shōgun' is heading into a second season, with showrunners offering an update on production progress.
Late in February 2024, FX dropped a limited series, Shōgun , based on James Clavell 's original novel and a remake of the 1980 miniseries of the same name. Ahead of its release, it was a move that had Chairman of FX Networks, John Landgraf, worried about how the historical epic might perform. Ultimately, by the time Shōgun made its way to screens and had been consumed by a global audience, it became quite clear that Landgraf had nothing to worry about after all.
With a record 25 Emmy nominations at the Television Academy Awards, it established itself as an impressively executed project. Shōgun's impressive award haul has continued with four Golden Globes, including Best TV Series – Drama. The success at the Emmy Awards in 2024 and the highly positive reception of the first season of Shōgun prompted the network to develop a second season of the show. Admist the euphoria of their Golden Globes haul, series showrunners Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo offered an update regarding the progress being made on the next batch of episodes. The pair offered an insight into when the next step in production would kick off. “Season 2, it’s ongoing, we’re still trying, we haven’t given up, and….what can I say?” Kondo revealed to the press in attendance. “I’m not sure what we can say.” Stepping forward toward the microphone, Marks offered as much as he could about Shōgun season 2’s development, adding: “We’re about six weeks from the end of the writer’s room.” Shōgun currently holds a nearly flawless 99% score from critics with a 89% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. The success of the show could be tied directly to the performances put in by its ensemble cast. The call sheet for Shōgun includes Hiroyuki Sanada, as Yoshii Toranaga, Anna Sawai as Lady Mariko, and Cosmo Jarvis as John Blackthorne. Other cast members include Tadanobu Asano, Yûki Kedôin, Akiko Kobayashi, Eushin Lee, Takehiro Hira, and Yuki Kur
