Shogun swept the 2025 Golden Globes in the TV categories, with it being named…

2025 Golden Globes Winners List: ‘Emilia Perez,’ ‘The Brutalist’ and More!

Shogun continues to dominate award show season.

Just months after it swept the 2024 Emmys with its history-making 18 wins, the FX series won in all four of its categories at the 2025 Golden Globes on Jan. 5 (see the full list of winners here).

In addition to securing the top prize of Best Television Series Drama, several of the show’s stars were honored for their performances. Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai won in the best actor and actress categories for a TV drama, while Tadanobu Asano received the Golden Globe for his supporting role in a series, miniseries or motion picture made for television.

“We couldn’t have imagined these kinds of things happening when we shot a few years ago,” Sanada—also a producer on the series—told the Golden Globes backstage while holding his trophy. “And it was a kind of gamble—you know, 70 percent Japanese dialogue with subtitles, can they enjoy or not?”

Clearly, their bet on the show paid off. Still, Sanada noted getting to this point has been a journey.

“I spent more than seven years for this project,” he added. “And then after shooting, we spent a year and a half for the postproduction, then promotion and release. So, that’s why I’m feeling this very heavy and a lot for me.”

The actor expressed how he “wanted to try to introduce our culture to the world correctly [in an] authentic way.”

“[There’s] sometimes misunderstanding or only through the blue eyes,” he continued. “But this time, we put that Japanese lenses in the script and then we hire the Japanese crew—Samurai drama specialist from Japan. So that was very important for us.”

And Sanada sees the lasting impact the show’s achievements can have.

“After this Shogun success,” he added. “I believe this gonna be a new normal in the industry—that’s my hope—and then hope it’s gonna be a good stepping stone for the next generation [of] filmmakers and actors in the world, not only for Japanese.”

What is Shogun about?

Based on James Clavell’s novel of the same name, the drama is set in the year 1600. During the premiere of the 10-episode season, the Taiko (former chief advisor to the emperor) dies. But before his death, he reveals his plans for a Council of Regents—consisting of five opposing warlords—to rule until his son is old enough to step in. Among them is Lord Yoshii Toranaga.

“Lord Yoshii Toranaga is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him,” FX shares, “when a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village.”

As the network explains, the series follows Toranaga’s story as well as that of Protestant English pilot John Blackthorne—whose ship washes up in Japan and who receives information that could affect his rivals (Portuguese merchants and Jesuit priests) as well as Toranaga—and Lady Toda Mariko, a Christian noblewoman and translator who is dealing with her past and forms a relationship with Blackthorne.

Is there going to be a Shogun season two?

Yes! FX previously announced that the network, Hulu and the Estate of James Clavell are working to extend the series for both a season two and a season three.

Considering the first installment already ran through Clavell’s novel, the second will now have to go beyond the page.

“There’s a lot of chaos but creative chaos, where we’re throwing everything that we have at the wall, seeing what sticks,” Rachel Kondo, who created the show along with Justin Marks, told The Hollywood Reporter in June. “It’s been exciting and nerve-wracking because, obviously, this is uncharted territory — we don’t have a roadmap, we just have history.”

So with the help of Clavell’s estate, she continued, they’re “trying to study his process of curation.” Still, Marks added, a lot of questions remain.

“There’s a lot of great conspiracy theory in history, a lot of different theories about, ‘Oh, it was said that this went on, but this really went on,’ and those little darker corners are what we’ve really enjoyed exploring,” he noted to THR—though it appears there aren’t as many questions for how long the series will run. “The third season is really an ending,” he continued. “We know where it starts, and we know where it ends, and we know who is there on that journey. We’re just focusing on part two right now to really make sure we can get to that point. But part two is, as second chapters go, kind of a darker chapter.”

When will Shogun season two premiere?

While an official release date hasn’t been announced, Sanada—who is also one of the show’s producers—suggested they’re still in the early stages of development.

“We decided to go forward,” he told the Television Academy backstage at the 2024 Emmys in September, “but just started the writing room and then think about where to go to shoot.”

However, it appears they’ve made some progress. At the 2025 Golden Globes in January, Marks told reporters, “We’re about six weeks from the end of the writers’ room.”
