"Shogun" season 2 is officially happening. This historical drama was the best show of 2024 for many people, including myself. But even I couldn't have predicted that it would be so good that the limited series was renewed for season 2 and potentially even a season 3. It's tough to get more impressive than that.
However, you might be wondering what exactly is going to happen in season 2, when it's going to happen and — perhaps most importantly — who is going to be in it. After all, the cast was a highlight of the show set in a slightly fictionalized pre-Tokugawa shogunate Japan. But, given that this show was surprisingly green-lit for additional seasons, it's not impossible that certain people might not be able to return for the still-to-be-determined filming of season 2.
