FX and Hulu have thrilled fans with the announcement that ‘Shogun’ is returning for two more seasons. This follows the show’s massive success, leaving viewers eager for more.
A Reddit post in the r/television community broke the news, stating,
“The Disney-owned network said Thursday that it is teaming with the estate of author James Clavell to extend Shōgun for two additional seasons. The company noted that both seasons are in development, meaning that a two-season renewal depends on how the creative comes in.”
The new seasons will continue to explore the story inspired by historical figures like Tokugawa Ieyasu. Reddit user PhD_Bagel noted,
“Toronaga was based on/inspired by Tokugawa Ieyasu and the formation of the Tokugawa Shogunate, so they have some historical reference for where they could take his story.”
The original creative team, including co-creators Justin Marks, Rachel Kondo, and star Hiroyuki Sanada, are returning to ensure the show’s high quality remains intact.
The announcement has sparked a mix of excitement and cautious optimism among fans. Elite_Alice expressed concerns,
“So I’m kinda hyped for this, but at the same time, with no more source material, I’m a little worried about a Game of Thrones situation.. it really would’ve been ok to leave it as season 1.”
However, many fans remain hopeful. Sleepy_Azathoth commented, “Obviously, FX was not gonna let this series go after its massive – and well-deserved – success. So I hope they can maintain the quality.”
