> The limited series will drop on Hulu in the U.S., as well as Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories in February of 2024. FX will also telecast new episodes once each week.
From the showrunner of Counterpart and writer of The Jungle Book and Top Gun Maverick.
As an aside, not to knock on the actor, because he is amazing, Sanada is like THE japanese actor of Hollywood. He is the actor you can almost be sure that will be present if a movie or show has a japanese character.
Still curious how they’ll adapt 1200 pages into 10 episodes. They could’ve easily made two seasons. But on the other hand the trailer looks fantastic. There are scenes I wasn’t expecting them to adapt (like the Taiko flashbacks). I hope characters like Lady Ochiba and Nobu and Hiro-matsu get plenty of screentime. And I hope they keep Ishido like he’s in the novel, like the shark in Jaws.
Let’s hope this leads to more adaptation of the Asian Saga. Tai-Pan and Noble House were great addictive reads.

Been anticipating this for years, it feels like, and this trailer didn’t disappoint – looks absolutely incredible.
um…holy fuck
Looks sick. I’m in

Book is amazing, highly recommend reading it…I’m happy that this will be a series.
Coincidentally I’m about the finish the book and had no idea they were making this. I’m stoked!
That shot of the ship in the fog was so sick
Bit of a shame they had to shoot it all in Vancouver because of covid

FX is pulling a huge amount of money for this, it looks incredible.
I will literally watch anything with Hiroyuki Sanada.
I saw the “original” series in the 80s. As far as I recall, it was pretty decent. I have High hopes for this one
May the person who sold the studios on the idea of doing pre-rolls burn in hell for all eternity
Holy fk. It looks awesome. They have captured a perfect look for a movie like this. What’s the plot brits attacking japan?
So the English speaking characters are meant to be Dutch I guess, if it’s at all historically accurate?
For those of you who don’t know *Shogun*, it’s essentially Japanese Game of Thrones.
Now give me *Tai Pan* with Christian Bale as Dirk and Ewan McGregor as Robb, Nicolas Hault as Culum, and of course Russell Crowe as Tyler Brock.
I see a lot of action in the preview. But what I liked about the original was the quiet conversations. I hope that was not lost in the retelling.
Read the book, Such a beautiful story… This looks better than i imagined.
Mariko ❤️
Well that looks very expensive and promising!
This looks gorgeous, very excited for it.
Don’t need much more than Hiroyuki Sanada to get me to watch something
I know it’s gonna be good when I see Ashigaru and not just samurai lol
Looks amazing
Anjin-san!!
Cosmo Jarvis really nails some of the expressions of a man looking terrified—because that’s what the main character feels.
It’s exactly like how a man in an unknown land would feel after seeing the brutality of a new type of people he just encountered.
Cosmo Jarvis. I got introduced to him by way of Raised By Wolves. This series looks amazing.
Oh wow, didn’t know the James Clavell novel is getting a second TV remake after the 1980 miniseries?
It looks absolutely amazing
I just want to see that last page visualized so bad.
Anything this man does is pure perfection
I remember watching the original Shogun miniseries in 1980. I was just a kid then, but it blew me away.
The “epic miniseries” like this, Roots, Rich Man/Poor Man, The Thorn Birds, etc. were “prestige TV” of the 70’s/80’s.
