“Shogun” star Hiroyuki Sanada said Season 2 of the Emmy-winning FX series could begin shooting as early as this fall.
“We’re aiming for the autumn of this yr, and the writers’ room is working so hard now,” Sanada told Variety Saturday at AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards in Los Angeles. “We’re going to have half [of the Season 1] forged remaining, after which half recent forged coming. We’re finding one of the best crew for next season now, so I’m excited.”
“Shogun” Season 2 has yet to receive the official greenlight from FX, but talent each behind and in front of the camera has teased what’s to return from the Seventeenth-century drama. In January, creator and executive producer Rachel Kondo said development for the brand new season is “ongoing,” but was hesitant to reveal further details.
“We’re still trying. We haven’t given up. And I’m undecided what we are able to say,” she said. Justin Marks, Kondo’s husband in addition to co-creator and executive producer of “Shogun” added, “We’re about six weeks from the top of the writers room.”
In October, Marks inked an TV overall cope with FX, wherein he’ll develop recent projects for the network. This includes possible recent seasons of “Shogun” with Kondo, which can be developed in collaboration with Clavell’s estate.
At this yr’s Golden Globes, “Shogun” took home 4 prizes, including best television series and lead actor in TV drama for Sanada. The show also took home 18 awards on the 2024 Emmys, marking essentially the most wins for any single season of television series.
