Shogun Anna Sawai Toranaga Hiroyuki Sanada Mariko Anna Sawai

Summary It isn't easy to imagine what Shōgun season 2 will look like with little more source material to draw from, and now, the series' future feels extra mystifying. Long before its February 2024 premiere, Shōgun was touted as a limited series that would adapt the entirety of James Clavell's eponymous 1975 novel.

Before meeting her shocking demise in Shōgun episode 9, Lady Mariko grew to become one of Shōgun's most impactful characters. She not only served as lead character Lord Yoshii Toranaga's trusted liaison in his long game toward overthrowing the Council of Regents and leading Japan into a new era as shōgun, but she proved compelling in her own right.

Season 2 also has the opportunity to expand on where other big Shōgun characters ended up, like John Blackthorne , the European navigator who became stranded in Japan after destruction befell his ship Erasmus during Shōgun's season finale. Shōgun has yet to confirm Jarvis and other Shōgun cast members for its next season, but it would serve the series well to continue their stories under Lord Toranaga's rule.
