Shogun, produced for television by FX is set to be a 10-episode limited series available on FX, Hulu, Disney+, and Star+ in Latin America. Justin Marks is both the showrunner and executive producer. Other executive producers include Michaela Clavell, Edward L. McDonnell, Michael De Luca, and Kondo. An exciting and unprecedented aspect of the show features a stellar Japanese cast, a move not previously seen in an American production. The series stars Tadanobu Asano as “Kashigi Yabushige,” Hiroto Kanai as “Kashigi Omi,” Takehiro Hira as “Ishido Kazunari,” Moeka Hoshi as “Usami Fuji,” Tokuma Nishioka as “Toda Hiromatsu,” Shinnosuke Abe as “Toda Hirokatsu” (“Buntaro”), Yuki Kura as “Yoshii Nagakado,” and Fumi Nikaido as “Ochiba No Kata” (“Lady Ochiba”).

FX has released the first trailer for the upcoming series. The opening cinematography, which pairs dramatic music and rapid scene flashes incites the feeling of urgency. A boat at sea in a storm is the first clear image noted, with rough seas bucking the stern toward the sky while the bow ducks into the ocean. A woman with her back to the camera in an elaborate kimono is the next image to cross the screen, followed by a man possibly a prisoner on the ship, and then men on horseback who appear to be military. What looks like a group training session includes men and women.

A woman speaks over the music in the scene “Do not be fooled by our politeness…. Death is in our air and sea, and earth.” Behind a curtain, a man stabs someone seemingly through the jaw upward into the skull. Images of war follow. Lines between alliances and enemies blur in an exciting fast-paced fashion. “War is coming.” Large numbers of soldiers appear on the screen next as they hustle across a sandy beach in full gear with weapons at the ready. A woman dressed in traditional Japanese garb slowly faces a militia of men. She is armed with a sword and appears to know how to defend herself with it. The trailer concludes with the woman accepting her role to play in it all. Shogun is set to premiere in February 2024! Check out the official trailer below:
