EXCLUSIVE: Hiroyuki Sanada, star and producer of FX‘s limited series Shōgun, has closed a deal to return as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, sources tell Deadline. Securing Sanada, whose character’s journey to become shōgun and lead Japan to an era of peace was chronicled in the 10-episode adaptation of James Clavell’s novel, has been considered crucial to any plan to extend Shogun beyond its original installment.
Other elements are still being worked out and deals are being finalized as part of an effort by FX to take Shogun to a second season in light of the big commercial and critical success of the limited series. The outcome of the effort would determine whether Shōgun would be considered a limited or drama series going forward, which could have major ramifications on the 2024 Emmy race, with the timing of the decision tied to the deadline for Emmy submissions.
In part because of the strikes, which delayed new seasons of ongoing series and drove networks and platforms to lean heavily on limited series, the drama series field is lighter than usual this year while the limited/anthology race, in which Shōgun is a lead contender, is one of the most competitive ever assembled in any Emmy genre.
While there are precedents, including True Detective‘s first season competing as a drama series instead of limited/anthology — something that was rectified for its subsequent installments — the vast majority of limited series are submitted as such. If they subsequently get additional seasons, the shows move to drama series starting in Season 2, which was the case with Downton Abbey, Big Little Lies and The White Lotus.
