Shōgun is an upcoming American period drama television limited series based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell. 'Shogun' was also adapted into a drama series in 1980, starring Toshiro Mifune (Rashomon, Seven Samurai).
The collision of two ambitious men from different worlds and a mysterious female samurai: John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), a shrewd, powerful daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko (Anna Sawai), a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.
The 10-episode limited series is set to premiere on FX on Hulu in February 2024. Watch the official trailer below.
