Disney+ creates a surprise with an announcement that no one really expected, even if we suspected it. The SVOD giant is renewing a series that should not have been!
It’s not uncommon to see shows change their plans at the last minute. We can no longer count the number of series that have been put to death before their time, sometimes before they even have time to end properly. But it is a little rarer to see some of them being renewed when they should not have been. Disney+ has just created a surprise by announcing the imminent return of a big hit series which should have only had one season!
Disney+ is renewing a series that no one thought they would see again!
“A season 2 and a season 3 were nice! »The order is placed for Disney+ which is banking on its recent event series, Shogun. Yes, you read correctly, the mini-series will finally be entitled to two new seasons which were not planned.
When the series was a hit on Disney+, at the start of its broadcast, the two showrunners Rachel Kondo and Justin Mark, a couple in the city and at work, affirmed that this first season had required nearly 6 years of intensive work. . A considerable demand for energy that the couple did not see themselves renewing. The circle was closed, we were not to see the series again, no season 2 for Shogun. Except that Disney+ and Hulu have decided otherwise.
Shogun will return for a season 2 and 3, it’s already divisive
Seasons 2 and 3 of Shogun are a reality now. News that will certainly make people happy, but which will also send a lot of chills to early fans. We know what generally happens when a series or film that stands on its own works and a forced sequel is started… we grit our teeth.
Some time after their first speech, Justin Mark was already beginning to open the door to a sequel. Saying that there were perhaps ideas to be exploited.
The problem is that the original work on which the series is inspired, the novel by James Clavell, has no sequel. Season 1 covers the entire work, a desire of the showrunners at the base. If the history of Japan does not end there, the series will have to settle down for the rest. So see. In any case, a star has already been confirmed in the casting, the charismatic Hiroyuki Sanada, who had already stated that he would return in future seasons if it were to happen. Now it’s done.
