00:00Shogun didn't just win awards, it made history.
00:0318 Emmy wins in a single season, the most any show has ever achieved.
00:09Four Golden Globes including Best Drama Series, Best Actor for Hiroyuki Sanada,
00:14Best Actress for Anna Sawai, and Best Supporting Actor for Tadanobu Asano.
00:20It became FX's most watched show of all time.
00:23Originally planned as a one-season limited series, based on James Clavel's 1975 novel,
00:30but when you break every record, plans change.
00:33FX confirmed not just season 2, but season 3 is also in development.
00:38And now, the wait is almost over.
00:42Production officially begins January 2026 in Vancouver.
00:46The writer's room has finished all 10 episodes,
00:49and showrunner Justin Marks calls it a darker chapter.
00:54Here's the big twist. Season 2 jumps 10 years into the future.
00:58That's right, we're skipping a decade to see how our characters have changed.
01:03Hiroyuki Sanada returns as Lord Torunaga, this time as Executive Producer 2.
01:09Cosmo Jarvis is back as John Blackthorne, the Anjin himself.
01:13And here's a shocker. Takehiro Hira might return as Ishido.
01:18Despite his season 1 fate, new cast members include Ren Maguro from J-pop group Snowman,
01:24Masataka Kubota, and Jun Kunimura.
01:27So what's season 2 actually about?
01:30Remember, Torunaga hasn't actually become Shogun yet.
01:34Season 2 will show his rise to absolute power as the leader of Japan.
01:38The showrunners promise massive battles, stunning armor designs,
01:43and an unexpected love story you'll never see coming.
01:47Disney's Dana Walden said they're baking it carefully.
01:51They won't release it until it's perfect.
01:54Expected release?
01:56Early to mid-2027.
02:00After making television history,
02:03Shogun is coming back to do it all over again.
02:07The Shogun will rise.
