Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The team behind FX’s critically acclaimed Shōgun remake has spoken about the difficulties of having the show return for another season. Based on the 1975 novel by James Clavell, the story was previously adapted as a 1980 miniseries starring Richard Chamberlain, Toshiro Mifune, and Yoko Shimada.
Balian: "It’s hard to shut the door. I don’t think we would take that off the table, but there’s a lot of things that would have to fall in line. It’s not an easy show to mount." Sawai: “If they want more, this is based on Japan’s history, so they can make more. But sometimes it’s better shorter! And if Justin and Rachel aren’t doing it, I don’t know who can.”
While the intense political machinations of 17th-century Japan have proven to be an intriguing backdrop for Shōgun, it seems that the show’s current ten-episode run will cover the entirety of Clavell’s original book. Though this may not entirely discount the possibility of a season 2, any attempts to continue the story of Lord Yoshii Toranaga would have to be done without the benefit of any guiding source material.
