Hiroyuki Sanada has closed a deal to return as Lord Yoshii Toranaga – which means a season 2 is likely on the horizon.
According to Deadline, other details are "still being worked out and deals are being finalized" so that FX can officially take Shogun to a second season. The limited series was an unexpected hit, sitting at a nearly perfect score of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. Following its February 26 premiere, the series pulled in 9 million viewers across Hulu, Disney Plus, and the Latin American streamer Star Plus in just the first six days of its release.
