According to a recent report by foreign media "Variety", a source revealed that the historical drama "Shogun", which scored 10 points from IGN, has been renewed for a second season. Hiroyuki Sanada, who plays the main character Toranosuke Yoshii, has signed a relevant agreement with the producer FX.

In addition, "Shogun" was initially promoted as a limited series, but FX is considering letting "Shogun" compete for this year's Emmy Awards in the drama series category, and the renewal of the second season of the show will also have a certain impact on the Emmy Awards.

There is no more detailed information about the second season of "Shogun". The first season was adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name completed by James Clavell in 1975. It tells the story of two ambitious men from different worlds. The navigator John Blackthorne who encountered a shipwreck in Japan brought the secret that could turn the situation around and destroy his enemies to Yoshii Toranosaga who was fighting for his life. At the same time, the two also had various entanglements with their translator Mariko Toda.
