Ren Meguro Joins SHOGUN Season 2; New And Returning Cast Announced
The writers, directors and new and returning cast members for the second season of the Emmy-winning historical epic series "Shogun" have been revealed. The new season is set ten years after the events of the first season and continues the historically-inspired saga of these two men from different worlds whose fates are inextricably entwined. The second season will stream exclusively on Disney+, with all episodes of season one available to stream now on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ around the world.

In a statement, Meguro had this to say about his casting: "I am incredibly honored to join the cast of 'Shogun' season two. When I streamed 'Shogun' on Disney+ last year, I was profoundly moved by the series' unique and grand portrayal of Japan, which felt different from past portrayals. As a Japanese person, I felt a compelling urge to be part of this groundbreaking production. I am committed to honoring the legacy that so many have built before me and to carefully shaping the role entrusted to me in this remarkable series. I can’t wait for everyone to see the release of 'Shogun' Season 2 and to share in this incredible journey with us."

Season 1 directors Hiromi Kamata (Season 1, Episode 6 "Ladies of the Willow World") and Takeshi Fukunaga (Season 1, Episode 7 "A Stick of Time") return to direct on the second season. Anthony Byrne, Kate Herron and series co-creator Justin Marks will also direct episodes in Season 2. Writers on Season 2 include co-creator Rachel Kondo, Marks, Shannon Goss, Matt Lambert, Maegan Houang, Emily Yoshida, Caillin Puente and Sofie Somoroff.

Based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell, "Shogun" was created for television by Kondo and Marks, who also executive produce alongside Michaela Clavell, Edward L. McDonnell, Michael De Luca, Sanada, Jarvis, and Eriko Miyagawa. The first season broke the record for most Emmy Award wins by a series in a single season with 18 statuettes.
