one flew over seppuku's nest - a thread for SHOGUN on FX (2024)

All of the Shoguns! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/shogun-season-2-and-3-in-the-works-fx-hulu-1235901617/amp/

hmmmmmm

I feel like the wrong lesson has been learned here.

plenty of history left to draw from, hopefully they can distill a story out of it. Would love it if undermining Toranaga's mystique carried through from the last episode of s1.

Might work if they do a Fargo approach - different cast, another self-contained story, same era and themes. The Continued Adventures of Blackthorne would be pretty disappointing.

Yeah heard some people suggest just adapting Tai-pan or one of Clavell's other books, and make Shogun an anthology. But with Sanada already signed in, I'm pretty sure it will be a continuation of the story. Apparently the real life "Blackthorne" stayed in Japan many more years anyhow
