This series proves what a difference good writing/ direction makes. Just compare Anna Sawai in ''Monarch'', where she was really bad and then watch her in ''Shogun'', where she's giving an amazing performance. It's like watching 2 completely different actresses! If FX is smart, they could adapt some of James Clavell's other novels like ''Gaijin'', which takes place 250 years after the events of ''Shogun'' and features a character who is Lord Toranaga's descendant.

As a long time fan of the novel (I read it in high school and its been my favorite book ever since) I hope they don't try to make a season 2. This mini series was fantastic as it is. As much as I loved it, if they try to continue it they'll only be making things up. I know the novel is based on the real life rise of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and future stories could be taken from that, but I feel like something would be lost if they tried to continue James Clavell's story. He did write an entire series set in this timeline that they could pull from. If they were going to follow up on Shogun, I would recommend they pull from that.

If there is a season two, it would probably be based on one of the other books that happens in different time periods. The historical parallel pretty much ends shortly after the series ends. After the battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa took the role of Shogun, eliminated his rivals and got the remaining lords in line. Eventually the Heir is eliminated, either by design or by coincidence, removing any potential rival. And the only thing "Blackthorne" would do is implement a modernization of the ships, which the real life Tokugawa did by building up the red seal fleet that used modern European designs. But beyond that the rise to shogun brings over 300 years of "peace", so there would not be a whole lot of drama to build off of for a season 2.

For me! The new Shogun mini-series started out strong but kind of weakened by the end. It was good, but I still think the original 1980 Shogun mini-series is much better by far. How do I know? It's more detailed. It's more in depth. It has more action, less gore though. Also, I own the 1980 Shogun series. I've seen it at least 10 times. It's a great series with the ability to want to watch it again at some point. The new series I've seen once and I really don't feel like I want to watch it again. If you thought Anna Sawaii played Mariko well, and she did. Yoko Shimada played Mariko much better. Also in the new series it was more focused on Mariko and how she was the key to everything. In the original series. Blackthorn and Toranaga were the main focus with actual battles. I do think the new series is good and they left the end kind of open to a second season and they should do it! The final thing I'll say is if you love the series and you want more. Watch the original. You'll get more out of it.

The story arc contained in the novel this show was based on has played out, it's done, so I don't see a season two at all. As for this version, I have mixed emotions. On the one hand, it was cinematically excellent with superb visuals. On the other, I got a slight sense of style over content as I felt the heart of the story, a love story, was largely absent. What I feel gave the book and the original 1980 mini series such emotional resonance, was the love story at its heart. yes, Blackthorne was in love with Mariko in this version, but you'd hardly know it until near the end of the show. It was hinted at more than realized. Parts of this version more closely matched the novel compared to the original mini series and others departed from it. Why, for example, change the names of some key characters? Fuji instead of Fujiko? We also didn't get a sense of Blackthorne's struggle to learn the language. I was quite shocked when in one episode he reeled off some pretty good Japanese without us, the audience, seeing his efforts. I also felt there was a touch of wokeness in the way Mariko was portrayed. Unlike the highly respectful and deferential Mariko of the book and original mini series, this one was almost sometimes cold, rude and argumentative. Not the way women interacted with men back then. Also, Mariko's English was far too perfect with not a trace of a Japanese accent. Perhaps this was done for clarity, but it lacked credibility to me. For me, despite the excellent visuals and elements closer to the novel, this version didn't emotionally resonate with me at all.

There is no season 2 as others pointed out. They did not leave it open for another season. It ends exactly how the book ends and the 80s adaption. They only way they could make a season 2 with the same characters is to write an original story. It's possible to create a series that say incorporates The Battle of Sekigahara as a selling point, but the rest would be Blackthorn building up trade and the persecution and murder of hundreds of Catholics as well as expelling all the foreigners except for Blackthorn and more Dutch. Lady Ochiba could feel it necessary to plot to overthrow the Toranaga Shogunate because she comes to believe that Yoshii Toranaga's son Sudara wants to kill her son. This is based on the real history with alterations. However, creating a compelling story from scratch is different from adapting one. Quite frankly, we do not need another season. Part of the reason it is so good is that is was a limited series.

The feature-length film could be entitled Shogun: Sekigahara and show us the immediate lead-up to the battle and the conflict itself. I believe the series is the perfect build-up and anticipation would be huge because of it and the remaining cast would make it very successful.

This series, like the original one back in 1980 with Richard Chamberlain, wasn't meant for a follow up season. Both versions ended where the book Shogun ended. This new adaptation is a self contained, single season "mini series" that concluded with Toranaga winning at Sekigahara and becoming Shogun by showing how his plan WAS going to play out, without actually showing it. The original did something similar through the narrator. Any new season would be drawn from historical events that took place outside of Clavell's novel as he never wrote a follow up to it. Not sure if they have any plans to do that. Unless they're planning to write their own new story....Toranaga: After the Battle of Sekigahara: There's no second season to get out of a book that Clavell never wrote.

Just saw a documentary about the sekigahara Battle and what comes after that is Crazy. Lets just say the HEIR Ochibas Son gonna have a big roll to play in that when he grows up, and Ieyasu (Toranaga) has to ACT upon that. I just hope, they will have a bigger Budget. I dont need huge battle VFX heavy scenes. Just more "Extras" so it stays realistic. and it will be fine. Maybe more Actually Real location shooting in Japan would be great also.

Toranaga as a villain? The period in which this is set is called "sengoku jidai" or "period of warring states" where you had at this point almost a century of constant warfare between regional war lords. (And on top of that a major invasion of Korea). Due to the "heir" being so young a civil war was basically guaranteed. By establishing the shogunate Toranaga ends the bloodshed. Yeah he had to do a lot of lying, scheming and a lot of his underlings had to die but those either wanted to die anyways or betrayed him multiple times.

@reneszeywerth8352 the point is that most of the people didn't have to die. I mean the villagers, who died when he was looking for the arsonist , when in fact it was him who ordered the ship to be burned. He terrorised the village just to see how the Anjin would react.

I don't want a season 2. I don't know what they'd do with it. It ended perfectly.

While I would love to see a continuation of the story I find it really hard to believe they will make a season 2 given it is based on a book. I can see them adapting the other books in Clavells Asian saga though.

It was a phenomenal series... from the look of the show, the costuming, the acting - and the fact it was an authentic representation of the period... i.e., Japanese people, speaking Japanese... no DEI inclusion for the sake of it! Hopefully we get a season 2... although, I was gutted Mariko and Yabushige won't be in it - unless we get flashbacks.

Fantastic show! There has to be a second season because it's only part told.

Remember what happened to game of thrones when they ran out of source material?. Be careful what you ask for.

need to make a video on "what is good acting". Also seems this will get the silk road treatment, one season, nothing new to be said in anew season it would seem.

I don't think a season 2 would make any sense wasn't this a limited series?
