Shōgun Is Created for Television By Rachel Kondo & Justin Marks Who Are Executive Producers Along with Michaela Clavell, Edward L. McDonnell and Hiroyuki Sanada

LOS ANGELES, April 30, 2025 - The FX, Hulu and Disney+ global hit drama series Shōgun, based on the novel of the same name by James Clavell, is scheduled to begin physical production for season two in January in Vancouver, it was announced today by Gina Balian, President, FX Entertainment. Shōgun, the most-viewed program in FX history, is produced by FX Productions.

Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, who created the series for television, recently wrapped a writers' room devoted to creating a wholly original new chapter to the first season, which was an original adaptation of James Clavell's bestselling novel.

In the first season, Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) fought for his survival as his enemies in the Council of Regents united against him. When a mysterious European ship was found marooned in a nearby village, its English pilot John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) shared vital strategic secrets with Toranaga that tipped the scales of power in his favor to win a century-defining civil war.

Part two of Shōgun is set ten years after the events of the first season and continues the historically-inspired saga of these two men from different worlds whose fates are inextricably entwined.

Marks and Kondo are Executive Producers alongside Michaela Clavell, Edward L. McDonnell and Michael De Luca. Hiroyuki Sanada is set to return and star as "Toranaga" and has been elevated to Executive Producer on the second season. Cosmo Jarvis will also reprise his role as "Blackthorne" and serve as Co-Executive Producer.

The first season of Shōgun won 18 Emmy(R) Awards, setting the record for the most Emmy Awards by a series in a single season. It was FX's first series to win Outstanding Drama Series. Hiroyuki Sanada became the first Japanese actor to win the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and Anna Sawai made history as the first actress of Asian descent to win Lead Actress in the same category. A global phenomenon, the show won numerous other awards, including the Golden Globe(R) Award for Best Television Series - Drama, AFI TV Program of the Year, and top honors from SAG, WGA, DGA, PGA, TCA, the Independent Spirit Awards, among many others.
