00:09Season 1 of Shogun was not just a hit, it was a historic phenomenon.
00:13The show swept the Emmy Awards, winning a record-breaking 18 trophies,
00:18and captivating millions of viewers worldwide with its gripping story of honor, betrayal, and power in feudal Japan,
00:27fans absolutely fell in love with it.
00:30And the demand for more has been overwhelming.
00:32Now, here is the big news.
00:35FX originally designed Shogun as a limited series, a one-time story with a definitive ending.
00:41But the show's massive success changed everything.
00:44FX has officially greenlit Shogun as a multi-series saga,
00:48and production has already begun in Vancouver with lead stars Cosmo Jarvis and Hiroyuki Sanada returning.
00:56So what will Season 2 actually be about?
00:58Since the first season fully adapted the original novel, the new season will tell a completely fresh story.
01:05Jumping forward 10 years in time, the story centers on Lord Torunaga as he fights to hold onto power after
01:11his hard-fought victory.
01:13Even though he won the war, dangerous secret enemies still threaten his reign.
01:17And the challenge of keeping peace across all of Japan is far greater than any battlefield.
01:23The showrunners have teased that Season 2 will deeply explore the true cost of war,
01:27and the brutal difficulties of governing a nation.
01:30John Blackthorne is also expected to return, but in a very different emotional state.
01:35Having lost Mariko and his ship, he will be searching for a new purpose in this changed world.
01:42And it gets even more exciting.
01:43The creators have confirmed an unexpected love story, and massive battle sequences that will be bigger and more spectacular than
01:50anything in Season 1.

01:56one of the most iconic moments in Japanese history, and the ultimate struggle for control of Japan.
