The years 2024 saw the mesmerizing ten-episode series "Shogun" storm the small screens, leaving TV enthusiasts enthralled. Fast forward to now, Disney+ has shared some tantalizing insights about season 2, albeit with a bit of a wait before we can indulge. Production of the upcoming episodes will kick off in January 2026, right in the heart of Vancouver, Canada.
As for the premiere date, we're keeping our fingers crossed, but given the grandeur and attention to historical accuracy of this feudal Japanese-set series, it's likely to drop sometime between late 2026 and early 2027.
The Narrative Cosmos Expands
Season 1 of "Shogun" unfolded with English navigator John Blackthorne (played by Cosmo Jarvis) and his crew, shipwrecked in Japan, presenting the first encounter of a Protestant Englishman there. Captured by the local daimyo Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), the story was set against a backdrop of political tensions, as Japan's leaders vied for power amidst clandestine maneuvers.
The second season will pick up the thread ten years from the end of season 1, focusing on John Blackthorne and Yoshii Toranaga. Despite their origins in separate worlds, their paths continue to intertwine.
Shattering Emmy Records
At the 2024 Emmy Awards, "Shogun" left critical acclaim and competition in its wake, bagging an unprecedented 18 awards - more than any other series managed in a single year. Even the much-adored "Game of Thrones" couldn't outdo that!
This record-breaking success paved the way for a longer run for "Shogun", which was initially planned as a miniseries, with two additional seasons already commissioned. Filming for season 2 is slated to begin in early 2026, with Vancouver adorning the settings yet again.
