""It's not coming out one year later," the producer told ."
""There's this thing that drives me crazy when you watch a show that ended three years ago, and you get into season two and it's like five minutes later," he said."
""We're trying to use this jump as a way to come back to our characters again for the very first time, to see them, to see what's changed in their lives over the course of the last 10 years, and to rediscover them," Marks told Variety."
FX renewed Shogun for second and third seasons despite limited additional material in James Clavell's novel. Co-creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo are partnering with Clavell's estate to continue Yoshii Toranaga's story. Season 2 will jump ten years beyond the Season 1 finale and expand scale to include major battle sequences that were omitted previously. Production will not return within a single year; a two-year or longer gap is possible for high-profile streaming shows. The decade jump will allow characters to be revisited anew, reveal how lives changed, and enable a pivot to new thematic territory.
