FX’s Shōgun Season 2: Here’s What We Know So Far
FX’s series Shogun, based on the best-selling book by James Clavell, debuted with acclaim and great ratings marking in at nine million for the premiere alone. The process to get the show started back in 2018 and had a painstakingly difficult path to trail with getting the minute details right. But could it be worth it for a second season?
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Shogun showrunners Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo look at the series as a finite project, and are not eager to jump into anything as lengthy soon.
“We took the story to the end of the book and put a period at the end of that sentence. We love how the book ends; it was one of the reasons why we both knew we wanted to do it — and we ended in exactly that place,” said Marks. “I’ve been party to this in the past with shows like this, where you build a whole factory, and it only pumps out 10 cars and closes up shop. It’s a bummer.”
