The "Shōgun" series will premiere on February 27, 2024

30 Nov

The show is being developed by the writer of "Counterpart" and most recently "Top Gun."

FX has announced the premiere date of the series "Shōgun": the adaptation of James Clavell's 1975 novel of the same name will begin airing on February 27, 2024. On that date, FX will release two episodes at once, and the series will have a total of ten episodes.

The show is set in feudal Japan in the early 16th century, when an English ship is wrecked off the coast of the country. British sailor John Blackthorne miraculously survives and finds himself in a nearby fishing village. Along with Blackthorne, his secrets fall into it, which may help the powerful Lord Yoshi Toranaga deal with his rivals. Also the fates of Toranaga and Blackthorn are inextricably linked with their interpreter Toda Mariko, a Christian noblewoman and the last representative of a disgraced family.

Cosmo Jarvis, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Anna Sawai played the main roles in the historical drama. Creator and showrunner of the project was Justin Marks, who worked on the series "Counterpart" and the movie "Top Gun: Maverick".

@Spartak213: You can check out the 1980 TV series for now. I watched it as a child, it was good.

The Clavell Shamal about Iran would still be filmed.

The main character is not impressive at all yet. It is unlikely to compare with Chamberlain from the last adaptation. Or did you decide to focus more on the Japanese? Well, it also has a place to be.

@Bairum: I don't even remember the series in detail anymore, only some individual scenes are etched into my memory, but I remember that I really liked the series and Chamberlain in the title role at that time. You will need to update in memory before viewing the new version

The cast is great, I'm really looking forward to the 4k version, because apparently it will look very fresh. Historical cinema about Japan, occupies a separate place in the heart))

Hmm..
I am very afraid because the book has not yet worn out and you can endlessly dig in with the thought of "non-canon" but it is forgivable if it comes out well.

I'm just reviewing an old series with Chamberlain, I watched it for the first time when I was 8 years old, but I remembered all my life that I was very impressed then. Now, of course, after so many modern films, it is perceived differently, but it is still interesting, and therefore I am doubly looking forward to the new series.
