In a stunning turn of events, I found myself utterly captivated by FX’s epic production, “Shōgun.” It was so gripping that it transformed from an initial mini-series concept into a fully-fledged TV series, with seasons two and three already confirmed! From the get-go, I had high expectations for Hiroyuki Sanada’s portrayal of Lord Yoshii Toranaga, but now, the surprise announcement has me even more excited: Cosmo Jarvis will reprise his role as the English pilot, John Blackthorne. Moreover, FX has provided tantalizing glimpses into the intricate plotlines that await us in “Shōgun” season two.
In simpler terms, Season two of the show Shōgun is set to offer a completely new storyline that expands on the events of the first season, which was based on James Clavell’s novel. The series deviates from its initial narrative in an intriguing way. For the second season, FX has confirmed a time leap, meaning that the events depicted in the second installment will occur 10 years after the end of the first season. The storyline continues to explore the historically-based tale of two characters from different worlds whose lives are now intertwined. We’re curious to see where the series goes without a direct source like a novel guiding its direction.
As a passionate film enthusiast, I’ve just learned that Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, the brilliant minds behind our beloved TV series, have recently concluded a writers’ retreat where they’ve been crafting an entirely fresh tale to complement the initial season. This captivating narrative is an original take on James Clavell’s acclaimed novel “Shōgun”, and it picks up ten years after the events of the first season. The series continues the historically-rooted odyssey of these two men from disparate worlds, whose lives have become inseparably linked.
It’s worth mentioning that only Sanada’s Lord Tornaga, portrayed by John Blackthorne (Jarvis), survived until the end of Shōgun season one. Regrettably, other primary characters like Anna Sawai as Lady Toda Mariko and Tadanobu Asano as Kashigi Yabushige did not make it past the initial episodes; their characters met their demise in the early stages of the series.
The first season of “Shogun” is currently available for streaming on Hulu in its entirety. In the initial episodes, Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) faced numerous challenges as he battled opposition from the Council of Regents. A critical turning point occurred when a mysterious European ship was discovered near a local village and its English captain, John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), divulged crucial tactical information to Toranaga, which ultimately aided him in winning a decisive century-altering war. Filming for season two of “Shogun” is set to commence in January, with production taking place in Vancouver.
