Hiroyuki Sanada to Return for SHOGUN Season 2

Hiroyuki Sanada To Return For Shogun Season 2

Although FX's Japan-set historical epic "Shogun" was originally conceived as a limited series, it has been revealed that it's close to getting a Season 2 renewal. Not only that, but Hiroyuki Sanada has signed on to return as Lord Yoshii Toranaga.

Details for a new season are still being finalized. Sanada also served as a producer on the series and was heavily involved in everything from the script translation process to the day-to-day scenes. In the event of a new season, Cosmo Jarvis would likely also return the reprise his role of Pilot-Major John Blackthorne.

The timing of the decision is apparently closely tied to the deadline for Emmy submissions. As a result of the show's status change, FX would have to move "Shogun" into the drama series categories in this year's Emmy race.

The limited series is based on James Clavell's 1975 book of the same name. It's it's the second adaptation of the novel following the 1980 NBC miniseries. The limited series was a massive hit for FX, which was great since it was also the network's most expensive series to date. The first episode secured 9 million views globally across Hulu, Disney+ and Star+ in its first six days of streaming.
