More “Shōgun” is in the works.
The hit FX for Hulu series is in development in two more seasons; “Shōgun” was originally announced as a limited series.
Co-creators, executive producers, and writers Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo would return for Seasons 2 and 3, which FX says are now “likely” to happen, along with executive producer Michaela Clavell and series star and producer Hiroyuki Sanada. Production has not been set as the additional seasons have not yet been ordered — but a writers’ room is being assembled and will begin in the summer.
sure, and that’s a shitty story, told in a shitty way. the intrigue was only barely interesting, and so over telegraphed for the last 5 episodes, the eventual end was jut empty, devoid of any real punch. mariko giving her life to the cause that toronaga used so maliciously and carelessly along with all the other vassals who sacrificed for him, as well as bragging of trapping the pilot, and laughing he had other sons with his baby, was all so ugly, and weird. the battle of sekigahara was no “afterthought” it was THE place where allegiences changed sides, THAT is where this historical pendulum swung, not in some convoluted public shaming. the show held true to the work it was based on, great, still sucked and was terribly unsatisfying. so, if they’re gonna make more of that, they can keep it.
