Yes, a second season! Battle of Sekigahara, Battle of Osaka Castle, Ochiba and her son defeated, and the Shogun building Nijo Castle and Edo Castle as his centers of power. A lot of history yet to unfold.
If History is a guide, Tokugawa Ieyasu (the real life Toronaga) became a villain after he became Shogun. He expelled the missionaries. He banned christianity and persecuted christians like in episode 10. He and his descendants closed Japan to outsiders for 250 years.
@@pangkaji Japan before Tok. Ieyasu became shogun was in 600 yrs.of civil war.Yes he expelled the Portugues and Spanish missionaries ,traders and their armed militias and closed Japan for 250 yrs. obtaining peace and harmony in their society.I can not imagine if Ieyasu did not succesfully expelled those foreigners ,Japan will be completely colonized and suffer serious defeat and humiliation by thieves just what happened to countries colonized by Spain ,Portugal and and others.
I am for a 2nd season I think there is enough historical information about the characters to warrant a 2nd season even without the book for reference⚔️
Mariko was one of the most interesting characters on the show, without a character of her depth, I might start yawning. Fuji-sama's return and backstory could fill the loss of Mariko.
What's left? The Battle of Sekigahara, of course, as others have noted. The character of Blackthorne got involved in trade until he died in Japan, so he will still likely be partly irrelevant, but he could stay with Fujiko san. A battle would be awesome. Apart from the Ishido character, there was another Leader who helped turn the battle in Toranaga/Tokogawa Iesu's favor. Then there's Omi and Kiku san. Sanada described the actor playing Omi as an excellent actor so some scope to expand out his role.
I understand that many other villain could be created similar to Kashigi Yabushige, but the problem is that they can't bring the actor Tadanobu Asano back, one of the best Japanese actor, he was awesome. Thanks God Fuji-sama is still alive, she can come back in the next season, that gives me a little comfort.
I do want to see a season 2. So many historical facts still around to base the show. Sekigahara battle and the first years following it, establishing the Tokugawa reign.
More focus on the heir aging and Toronaga teaching him would be a good move. We didn't see the heir much and depending on how old they want the heir to be, that actor could be recast with an older child if needed. The original characters that died could make returns in flashbacks or as Toronaga interacted with them in scenes we did not see in season one. I don't see a problem with a second season if Sanada is given as much creative control and studio executives don't get too involved and micromanage everything. Sanada did a fantastic job adapting the book, so let him still hold most the creative control with any help as he sees fit, and there are ton of options for the show. There is still lots that can be hashed out as far as how the other lords splintered away from the original council of 5. It could be a series that could go for multiple years and could even wrap as an old Toronaga (similar to Blackthorn) on his deathbed recounting his story for the historical record (think Bilbo and Frodo) and the entire series could be the perspective of Toronaga recounting the tale to a scribe or author for history as he is elderly and dying.
It's gonna have its own big shoes to fill which is going to be difficult with two of the most iconic characters missing. Hopefully lady Fuji will change her mind about being the best nun ever and reconnect with blackthorn, as they had such a powerful farewell scene...
I think that they should make a prequel of this series highlighting the time of rise of taiko I think this would help us to understand the developments of various important characters including torannaga marico etc Still if they believe that they have got no better story I think that instead of ruining this amazing series by stretching up the story like the one did with GOT They should adopt some other AMAZING STORY FROM ONE OF THE CLAVEL's NOVELS
They could do a prequel and in that, we will have all of the characters we love from this season as well as knowing why we were at the point where we are.
First, I just want to see Season 2, which Hiroyuki Sanada plays Toranaga. His acting has never let us down. Although some important characters have died, fortunately there are still John Blackthorn, Lady Ochiha, Ishido, Buntaro, Fuji-sama, Oumi, Kiku, Ogin, and Christian priests, so if they added new cast members and let them play the game from the Battle of Sekigahara to the Siege of Osaka Castle, they could show us a more spectacular drama. And since Blackthorne is supposed to marry a Japanese woman and have two children in real history, we can watch another love story as well.
I agree that there are still potential storylines to cover in Season 2. It might be tricky since they initially planned it to be a limited series. But, if they preserve the energy and dedication of Season 1, I think we can end up with a masterpiece.
If they go on the life of William Adams the real Anjin San he lived to be 55 in Japan and had two families at the same time before he died. He built English style ships for Tokugawa and trained many Japanese soldiers to be Sailors and pilots and soldiers.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, I mean Toranaga Yoshii lived another 16 years and William Adams, I mean John Blackthorne another 20 after the events of Clavell’s novel. There’s plenty of history on which to draw.
Guys, this is based on a true story. John and Shogun Toranaga worked together for 20 more yrs. John had a family and became a Samurai. Trade was opened with the Dutch and all other Europeans was kicked out. They have material for 2 more seasons if they want.
is not really like that. first lets be clear the names are all fake,most people know but im sure theres some who doest know.theres no torunaga the real shogun is Tokugawa from togugawa clan. mariko doesnt exist ,the real person is Gracia after she was baptised as christian,also she and Blackthorne(real life william adams)never met. for people that follow history and loves it togugawa never was in a weak position as it is depicted in the series,sure its very interesting but at the end of the day we need to remember this is a book and somethings like mariko and blackthorne are fictional. shogun tokugawa leyaso really was a great straregist but he never was in a position so weak his son didnt died and he never marched to surrender. at the battle of sekigahara he pursuade some lords to figth by his side defecting from the west army(ishido). william adams(blackthorne in the show)helped the shogun tradewise and with diplomacy but for the most part he was not involved in the events that lead to thr battle.he was a merchant not a warrior.he only serve tokugawa after he became shogun
@@thenextfilm it's quite a close depiction of the real events, except the romantic relationships, of course.That the character of John Blackthorne was called William Adams. Contrary to another commenter here, William Adams was instrumental in both preparation through intelligence, diplomacy and military preparation development of military tactics and equipment.Don't take my word for it, it is clear in both primary sources written about him at the time and the implications of his personal diary which is available if you search. For example, he planned and built more than one massive warship in Anglo western style, which was a massive upgrade to the Japanese seafaring battle capability at the time
Thanks for mentioning that. The story has been embellished to make it entertaining and not just brutal. And it is close enough to actual history to make it more interesting than a marvel comic book story.
I stand by what I said,Adam’s arrived in the spring of 1600 the battle was in the same year later on. The ship was built in 1604 after Tokugawa already win and was shogun.you can look this up yourself. Everything I said is true. Sure he then was of great assistance to the shogun The guy was not influential regarding the events leading to sekigahara that’s what I said I never said he didn’t helped Tokugawa. The source is that when he arrived Tokugawa left him in a province of his while the events to the battle ensued.after he won than he called him back to his court and he served the shogun
Although this and the 80's series was based off the book by James Clevell, it's also based on real history so they can easily adapt the series and follow what really happened the Battle of Sekigahara, and the final Winter Battle Of Osaka to name 2 battles, but Blackthorn I really don't know what they can do for him, and if they go that far they have to have Yukimura Sanada although with a different name of course. I do hope they introduce Toranaga/Tokugawa's Avengers Tadakatsu Honda, Naomasa Ii, Yasumasa Sakakibara & Tadatsugu Sakai, that is only on the Eastern side of Sekigahara there is many to be added to the West. It would also be nice to see Kiyomasa Kato & Masanori Fukushima who served under Hideyoshi and alongside Ishido/Ishida but actually hated him so would be nice how they do that.
It’s a book series and there are 6 books I’ve read them it only gets better I really hope that they continue the series I think ppl would be at awe with the amazing story that Mr.Clavell has written Edit:The books are Shogun, Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, King Rat, Noble House & Whirlwind
Why are you talking like the six books are a connected series? Shogun is a stand alone novel. Tai pan is set over 200 years after Shogun and King Rat is set during WW2!
@@Carfilliotthe books are connected there are references to characters from other books thru out the series they are In the same universe like marvel movies the books even talk about John’s descendants and king rat is the 4th book years later in the universe use google
Long as disney keeps there hands out of it and not try box ticking rubbish leave it to fx they did an outstanding job perhaps disney can learn from them
I honestly feel like they could turn this into a dynasty warriors live action show with characters from shu ,wei,and wu and it won't be out of place i mean the shogun already reminded me of Lu bei but i definitely think it would be interesting to see where they go with the show cause every now and then but not always a writer makes a gem of a series or movie and this was exactly that a masterpiece like Twd
Or there could be a trilogy with two prequels, telling the stories of the previous two unifiers, Oda Nobunaga, y Tomotomi Hideyoshi, the first leader killer by Mariko's father, and the second, the Taiko, who dies at the beginning of this first season. I think there is so much intrigue and potential material in all that happened before, and that could explain the rise of Tokugawa Ieyasu (Toranaga), that I would be even more excited about prequels than secuels.
Although lots of pertinent details of the book were left out ot this ,the beauty ,absolute BEAUTY is via " flash backs " they can at least return to us our beloved ones. and re- imburse those " lost" sections of the story, as well as keep the Actors working. To whom we owe so much.
They have to...exceptional cast and film direction...great storyline...and the last episode was what they call a cliff hanger...who survives, who dies? This story hasn't yet run its course.
Season 2 prequel. Unification of Japan and invasion of Korea. That way we can get Mariko and Yabu back. Season 3 can be more of a direct continuation. It would make sense to do a prequel in sone form, considering the frequent use of flashbacks in season 1. I think bringing the character of Yasuke(black samurai) to the screen, would be a great replacement for Blackthorne. He lived during the same period.
There is plenty of exciting content that can be developed for the second season. It would be interesting to witness a grand battle and learn about Tokugawa's strategies to gain support from other clans. Exploring Blackthorne's experiences during the war and the challenges he faced as a gaijin would also add depth to the storyline. With a wealth of source material available, a captivating and engaging narrative can be crafted for the upcoming season.
Very thought provoking post ❤ but your wrong that they never fully adapted the book. Toranaga has an older son who is married to lady ochiba's sister. We haven't seen her yet. And she and Toranaga's son are tested for their loyalty in the book. And there is also the question about lady Fuji who is Fujiko in the book. Although she was granted death in the book. In the 1980 adaptation with Richard Chamberlain, Toshiro Mifune, and Yoko Shimada she did not die. Plus in the book the courtesan Kiku was to marry Anjin-san. There are loose ends to tie. This latest adaptation I think was rushed like the 80s version.
I think the producer's can now follow the real history of Japan and what truely happened with Tokugawa iyeyasu and the battle at Sekigahara. I think 2nd season will be more action based. Either way i m very excited for this news!
Disney probably didn’t think it would be so popular so they let the show runners do what they want. Now that it’s the best TV show in years, Disney better not meddle and F it up.
They Caught Lightning in A Bottle. I think season 7 and then wrap it up with season 8 At least we will not be dissapointed like with GOT The acting is the very best the Director the very best Effects Battle scenes Royal court Drama. Shogun Got a redemption from the horrible 1970s version.
If this is true, I wonder how long would we have to wait for the second season to be released. It took 5 years to make this season and it is the end of the book.
I think it is likely to take a LONG time. based on the creators' interviews, it seems like they are taking their time to come up with a new subject matter
I’m on the fence. I love the show as it is and would be fine with no season 2. BUT If they make a second season they better not ruin it with modern day political correctness and DEI. Disney is all about that nonsense.
in the Shogun novel, Toranaga doesn't want Blackthorne to go home he believes thath is karma is to never leave Japan he plans to have the courtesan Kiku be Blackthorne's wife, and she is overjoyed about that
I hear that FX are planning a second SHOGUN season. Without Anna Sawai's Lady Mariko, it is doomed to be a failure and a flop. They must find a way to resurect her, e.g. by saying that Lady Mariko somehow survived the blast and then escaped, severely injured, to hide somewhere until she was healed and felt safe again. Toranaga may be, objectively, the key character of SHOGUN, maybe; but, SUBJECTIVELY, the key character is Anna Sawai's Lady Mariko! No question whatsoever!
Is this actually true? They’re coming up with another season on tap that if they do come up with another season I hope they don’t ruin the series like they did with Game of Thrones. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the series. It was very interesting especially somebody like me. That’s very big fan of Japanese history.
Well, I can see season 2 telling the story of events leading up to the Battle of Sekigahara. The miniseries left out many details from the novel. I would list them but people will call spoilers as those details weren’t told in the show. But there were more betrayals, prophecies, back deals, machinations from Toranaga that will set allies and enemies off balanced, other characters not introduced, etc.
@@TheGhost-7002 Well, if it’s already spoiled then here we go… - Kiyama betrays Ishido at the Battle. - Toranaga uses his guns and cannon against Zataki - the prophecy of Ishido dying g of old age - Kiku becomes Blackthorne’s wife/consort as a way to keep Omi off balanced
@@thenextfilm There are more in the novel that were omitted from the series. Many can be rewritten to fit the show version for season 2. Some were pointed out in season 1 as a passing comment but can be used. - Yabu told Toranaga all he wanted was Suraga Province. There’s more to that. - Toranaga’s oldest son & heir is married to Ochiba’s sister. Again, more was written about that dynamic. - Gyoko, Kiku’s mama-san, played a bigger part than shown in the show - flashback of the Taiko’s failed invasion of Korea, which would bring back Yabu, Hiromatsu, Mariko’s father.
I lived in Japan back in the early 80s, knew nothing about the country before I lived there. I read all of Clavell's books after I came back to the US. Yes, absolutely do a second season and just follow the history. It's amazing in itself. Japan is one of the most unique and purest countries with long history of ceremony, respect and discipline. I'm retired now and moving back to Asia in a few months.
As for this first season, look into the history of Japan to find the story line for the 2nd season. With Sanada-san as producer, I'm sure it will be a good fusion... after all Sekigahara Battle deservers to be showcased 🙂⚔
1. I knew it was gonna b a hit from the first trailer, when u saw Mariko wielding a Naginata. I can’t remember the last time I saw Hollywood make a project that involved that particular weapon. It meant the filmmakers did their homework. 2. It’s ok you have our blessing to change the channel name to YabushigeFanGirl 😂⚔️

製作が決まったようなら仕方がない、打って変わって第2シーズンは戦いを主軸にしたアクションの多いシリーズにすべきだと思う。フィクションなのだから関ヶ原の戦いから大阪の陣までの時間を5年ぐらいに縮めて(実際は15年)ポルトガルとの海での争いにはブラックソーンの活躍が期待できる。藪重並みの癖のある大名も史実には事欠かない。藤様は間違って根来衆へ入僧してしまい正徳院と共に徳川側の僧兵団に帯同するとかね(負けるけどw)当時はエピソードの宝庫だからストーリーはいくらでも出来る。
I understand that many other villain could be created similar to Kashigi Yabushige, but the problem is that they can't bring the actor Tadanobu Asano back, one of the best Japanese actor, he was awesome. Thanks God Fuji-sama is still alive, she can come back in the next season, that gives me a little comfort.
It is my understanding that not only the second season, but also the third season has been confirmed.
Yes you're right
A Big Yes ! I am a fan of James Clavell having read most of his top novels like Taipan , Gaijin , King Rat etc ...
I do want to see a season 2. So many historical facts still around to base the show. Sekigahara battle and the first years following it, establishing the Tokugawa reign.
There are so many topics waiting to be covered. Would be an epic series if they can preserve the quality in Season 1
If they give Sanada san free reign again, then it will be great. If he's not in it I won't even watch
SAME
I hope they release an extended version of Season 1. Really looking forward to Season 2 and 3 with Hiroyuki Sanada.
Same! I'm hopping they would release a miniseries or short movie when we are waiting for the 2nd and 3rd seasons.

Can always show flash backs of dead characters and how they developed. 😉
I think it would be really interesting to see a genuine friendship develop between Blackthorne and Buntaro.
If they go on the life of William Adams the real Anjin San he lived to be 55 in Japan and had two families at the same time before he died. He built English style ships for Tokugawa and trained many Japanese soldiers to be Sailors and pilots and soldiers.
I'm hoping that we will watch his life story in the upcoming seasons

I personally felt like Season 1's ending was anti-climactic so I'd love a couple more seasons.
I was not disappointed by GOT. I loved the ending
well, this is a true unpopular opinion. i'm glad you enjoyed it
Disney probably didn’t think it would be so popular so they let the show runners do what they want. Now that it’s the best TV show in years, Disney better not meddle and F it up.
One question remains how did Blackthorne survive the war?
outstanding show
There will not be a second season regardless of the unsubstantiated announcements flying around.
well, the news suggest otherwise
They Caught Lightning in A Bottle.
I think season 7 and then wrap it up with season 8 At least we will not be dissapointed like with GOT
The acting is the very best the Director the very best Effects Battle scenes Royal court Drama.
Shogun Got a redemption from the horrible 1970s version.
I heard the infamous 1970s version. A part of me wants to watch it really bad.
If this is true, I wonder how long would we have to wait for the second season to be released. It took 5 years to make this season and it is the end of the book.
I think it is likely to take a LONG time. based on the creators' interviews, it seems like they are taking their time to come up with a new subject matter
⚔
I fell for this
It is true
@@thenextfilm evidence please
⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔
Shogun is great but saying there is a ton of new shows in 2024 that are really good is either disingenuous or total insanity.
⚔️
⚔️Mariko may be back!!!! They never showed the funeral 🤣🤣🤣BRING HER BACK!!! BRING HER BACK!!! BRING HER BACK!!!!
BRING BACK TODA MARIKO
YESSS!
Loved it
MALAZAN BOOK OF THE FALLEN!!!!
As long as they don't include DEI in the next season.
same
I think most people will want a season 2.
I hope so
I’m on the fence. I love the show as it is and would be fine with no season 2. BUT If they make a second season they better not ruin it with modern day political correctness and DEI. Disney is all about that nonsense.
Oh dear!
The downside of this series is that we don't actually have any fights
we might get some in the upcoming seasons
Gee Disney, a series based on a non woke book with non woke casting and it’s a huge success….hmmmmm
Does Black Thorn Go home? if so, how?
He doesn’t go home. He has
Wife and a child
in the Shogun novel,
Toranaga doesn't want Blackthorne to go home
he believes thath is karma is to never leave Japan
he plans to have the courtesan Kiku be Blackthorne's wife, and she is overjoyed about that
🤺
💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 . . . did I say 💀??!!
Bring back Mariko.
I wish
🥷🇯🇵⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️🇯🇵🥷
I hear that FX are planning a second SHOGUN season.
Without Anna Sawai's Lady Mariko, it is doomed to be a failure and a flop.
They must find a way to resurect her, e.g. by saying that Lady Mariko somehow survived the blast and then escaped, severely injured, to hide somewhere until she was healed and felt safe again.
Toranaga may be, objectively, the key character of SHOGUN, maybe; but, SUBJECTIVELY, the key character is Anna Sawai's Lady Mariko!
No question whatsoever!
Mariko is dead. It should stay that way. If they bring her back and say that she did not die, show will flop.
Can you change the actor playing blackthorne character ? Cosmo Jarvis was the most hopeless performer out of all
his performance did not bother me but yes, compared to others he was simply "fine"
💀
Such a crappy season finale ending. 😢
Is this actually true? They’re coming up with another season on tap that if they do come up with another season I hope they don’t ruin the series like they did with Game of Thrones. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the series. It was very interesting especially somebody like me. That’s very big fan of Japanese history.
Im scared because of what happened in GOT, It just ended with generic nonsensical garbage.
I hope Shogun does not follow the same route
I don't know you, but I stop watching those super heroes marvel thing....I want more real acting and real scenarios, etc...
NOT TRUE. NOT CONFIRMED.
You might be right
they failed miserably! What do you mean the translator speaks Portuguese but is not Portuguese? This is disrespectful to Portuguese history in Japan!"
They r all remakes.nothing original lately.
I'm afraid they are going to screw it up. Some things are better left alone. This is one of them!
As much as I loved this show, had I known it helped Disney+, I wouldn't have watched
you have a point there
Plenty of historical facts and material en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokugawa_Ieyasu
thank you for sharing
They should do a complete tie-up of Tokugawa's Rise to Power. Shogun was merely The Beginning of That Journey.
exactly

Well, I can see season 2 telling the story of events leading up to the Battle of Sekigahara. The miniseries left out many details from the novel. I would list them but people will call spoilers as those details weren’t told in the show. But there were more betrayals, prophecies, back deals, machinations from Toranaga that will set allies and enemies off balanced, other characters not introduced, etc.
Eh, what happens has kinda already been spoiled by the ending of the 1st season. Would make more sense to depict the Sieges of Osaka.
@@TheGhost-7002 Well, if it’s already spoiled then here we go…
- Kiyama betrays Ishido at the Battle.
- Toranaga uses his guns and cannon against Zataki
- the prophecy of Ishido dying g of old age
- Kiku becomes Blackthorne’s wife/consort as a way to keep Omi off balanced
You make me feel like I have to read the book to get the series better. And I think you are absolutely right.
@@thenextfilm There are more in the novel that were omitted from the series. Many can be rewritten to fit the show version for season 2. Some were pointed out in season 1 as a passing comment but can be used.
- Yabu told Toranaga all he wanted was Suraga Province. There’s more to that.
- Toranaga’s oldest son & heir is married to Ochiba’s sister. Again, more was written about that dynamic.
- Gyoko, Kiku’s mama-san, played a bigger part than shown in the show
- flashback of the Taiko’s failed invasion of Korea, which would bring back Yabu, Hiromatsu, Mariko’s father.
@@thenextfilm The series has a very very VERY loose connection to the novel.
as long as mariko is dead i cant watch it again. so so sad
Bro some people what her back and say that some how she survive the blast, these are stupid. Mariko is dead Thats it. I can’t wait for season two
I cannot wait.
SAME
Bring back Fuji-sama or I will not watch it
lmao
Love it 😍 can’t wait for season two ❤
I lived in Japan back in the early 80s, knew nothing about the country before I lived there. I read all of Clavell's books after I came back to the US. Yes, absolutely do a second season and just follow the history. It's amazing in itself. Japan is one of the most unique and purest countries with long history of ceremony, respect and discipline. I'm retired now and moving back to Asia in a few months.
thanks for sharing
shogun was a master piece about Japan history. let's have a second season to bring those caracteres a live once again.
and 3rd season!
As for this first season, look into the history of Japan to find the story line for the 2nd season. With Sanada-san as producer, I'm sure it will be a good fusion... after all Sekigahara Battle deservers to be showcased 🙂⚔
there are lots of battles to cover ahead. Can't wait for them honestly
1. I knew it was gonna b a hit from the first trailer, when u saw Mariko wielding a Naginata. I can’t remember the last time I saw Hollywood make a project that involved that particular weapon. It meant the filmmakers did their homework.
2. It’s ok you have our blessing to change the channel name to YabushigeFanGirl 😂⚔️
hahahaha, why not? :)
