“Shogun” Approaches New Season Development

“Shogun” is progressing towards a new season following its impressive performance at the 2025 Golden Globes, where it won the award for Best Drama Series along with three acting accolades. The creative team behind “Shogun” is actively engaged in planning the series’ future direction.

Ongoing Development Efforts

“It’s a work in progress,” stated executive producer and creator Rachel Kondo. “We’re still making efforts and haven’t lost hope. However, I’m uncertain about what details we can disclose.” Her husband and co-executive producer Justin Marks added, “We’re approximately six weeks away from concluding the writers’ room sessions.”

New Projects in the Pipeline

Marks has recently secured a new overall deal with FX Productions, which includes plans to develop new projects for FX, potentially encompassing upcoming seasons of “Shogun” alongside Kondo. These new seasons are being crafted in collaboration with the estate of James Clavell.

Award Success

On Sunday, “Shogun” dominated the drama categories at the awards, winning Best Drama Series and earning individual honors for Hiroyuki Sanada as Best TV Drama Actor, Anna Sawai as Best TV Drama Actress, and Tadanobu Asano as Best TV Supporting Actor.

Record-Breaking Emmy Wins

In September, the series achieved a milestone with 18 Emmy Award wins, the highest for any series in a single season. This included accolades for Best Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series (Hiroyuki Sanada), and Best Actress in a Drama Series (Anna Sawai).

Transition from Limited Series to Regular Series

Initially categorized as a limited series, “Shogun” has garnered such success and critical acclaim that FX is now considering it for regular series status. In May, star and producer Hiroyuki Sanada signed a contract with FX to reprise his role as Lord Yoshii Toranaga in this historical epic set in Japan. Subsequently, FX reclassified the show into the drama categories for the 2024 Emmy Awards.

Future Writers’ Room Initiatives

Later in May, it was announced that a writers’ room would commence over the summer to develop two additional seasons of the series. However, FX has yet to provide a formal renewal for the show.
