No surprise here: more episodes of “Shōgun” are on the way. FX and streaming partner Hulu announced yesterday that they’ll renew their hit limited series for two more seasons. Star and producer Hiroyuki Sanada also returns, as do co-creators, writers, and executive producers Justin Marks and Rachel Condo, as well as EP Michaela Clavell. And “Shōgun” author James Clavell also returns to develop both upcoming seasons, too; so creatively speaking, everyone is back, which is good news for the show’s fans.

FX will be working with late author James Clavell’s estate to piece together seasons two and three.However, this does not mean that seasons two and three of Shōgun have been confirmed, as an official renewal will be based on the progress made in the writers’ room and if all parties involved are happy with the direction that the show heads in.So far, no production has been scheduled for more episodes.
Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor “Shōgun” is officially in the drama race for the Primetime Emmys. FX has confirmed that the once limited or anthology series heavyweight has been officially submitted and accepted in the drama categories, where it will compete against Netflix’s “The Crown,” Apple’s “The Morning Show” and Prime Video’s “Fallout.” In addition, the network has shared exclusively with Variety the complete list of 40 Emmy submissions, which includes six submissions for directing, four for writing, and two eligible guest actors.
Now that FX has decided to make more episodes of its breakout hit Shōgun, it is changing its Emmy strategy for the James Clavell adaptation.
Shōgun is a limited series no more: FX is gearing up for more installments of the historic drama.
If “The Bear” became FX’s biggest hit for 2022 and 2023, then 2024 has undoubtedly been owned thus far, but the TV network’s hit series “Shōgun” (read our review). Created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, “Shōgun” has exploded as FX’s biggest streaming hit on Hulu/Disney+ and is heading toward becoming a serious Emmy contender—actress Anna Sawai’s performance is already expected to end up landing an acting nomination, and there could be much more.
Shogun is one of the most acclaimed new shows of the season, but it has been billed as a limited series and not an ongoing one.
One of the most talked about series of 2024 is FX’s feudal Japan series, “Shōgun,” which just ended its ten-episode run on Hulu. The acclaimed series centers on the collision of two ambitious men, an English sailor (Cosmo Jarvis), who is shipwrecked in Japan, and Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), a shrewd, powerful Japanese feudal lord, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals.
Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and EventsThe official launch of Hulu on Disney+ was celebrated at a star-studded party at Mother Wolf in Hollywood on April 5.Hosted by Disney’s Dana Walden and Alan Bergman, with a special appearance by Bob Iger, the evening included a blue arrivals carpet and an exclusive cocktail reception.“Today, I think, consumers want not only quality but they want volume and they want convenience. And this is now all three in one place,” Iger told Variety about adding Hulu to Disney+. “It’s great to have this array of great content very conveniently located instead of having to close one app and go to the other app.
In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo attempts to sail through murky waters when discussing “Shogun.” The FX/Hulu series is based on the beloved book of the same name and is set in 17th-century Japan. It follows multiple characters in a struggle for power and freedom after a British vessel is found stranded in a small fishing village, leading to political unrest and potential war.
FX‘s Shōgun came out of the gate strong with its streaming debut.
Long-awaited FX epic Shōgun, which launches tomorrow, has been compared to HBO epic Game of Thrones by all and sundry, but director Jonathan van Tulleken has different comparators in mind.
Caroline Brew editor Amidst the chaos of a fire alarm going off and security ordering (and later calling off) evacuations on the red carpet of the “Shōgun” premiere on Wednesday night in Los Angeles, the stars of the new FX series still found the time to share their experiences working on the most recent adaptation of James Clavell’s 1,200-page novel. Acting in a show like “Shōgun” — which features numerous fight sequences and tense dramatic scenes — would not be considered a relaxing task to most.
It’s seemingly been years in the making, but FX’s much-anticipated global event series for Hulu, “Shōgun,” is finally coming in February 2024. (Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories).
Keanu Reeves reprised his role of John Wick in John Wick: Chapter 4 but don’t expect the star to say a lot. A report from The Wall Street Journal counted all the words Wick uttered throughout the film and he seemingly didn’t have a lot to say, but there was a whole lot to see.
Shamier Anderson reveals what it was like beating up Canadian royal and legend, Keanu Reeves, in “John Wick: Chapter 4” in a new interview with ET Canada.
Keanu Reeves is as humble as ever, and the “John Wick: Chapter 4” cast would definitely agree.
For all that is wrong with the world, at least we are alive to see actors like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves beat Father Time to a standstill in some of the most innovative movie franchises of their day. Ever since revitalizing his career in the original “John Wick,” Reeves has cemented his place as an icon both onscreen and off.
FX has been attempting to put together a new limited series adaptation of the James Clavell novel “Shōgun” for a couple of years now but kept running into bad luck and obstacles, between various development hiccups and last year’s pandemic, which led to further delays on the series that takes place in feudal Japan.
