Released in early 2024, Shōgun is a retelling of James Clavell’s classic novel, which tells the story of Lord Toranaga navigating a complex political battlefield to defeat his rivals.
It received high praise from critics, with IGN itself giving Shōgun a 10/10. “FX’s adaptation of James Clavell’s Shōgun puts character above combat, telling a complex and beautiful story full of intrigue set in feudal Japan,” we said.
The series was originally planned as just one season, fully adapting Clavell’s novel, but was later renewed for a second and likely third season. FX CEO John Landgraf said in July that the team was already working on the second season, meaning that could also arrive sooner rather than later.
