If you binge-watched Shōgun - FX's recent TV series set in early modern Japan - then the good news is that 2023 Dan David Prize winner Adam Clulow thinks there is plenty more of this story to tell.

As an expert in the early modern encounter between Europe and Asia, Adam discusses the possible angles a second season might take with Alex Reif from LaughingPlace.com Disney Fans' Site.

Could FX Make More "Shōgun"? An Expert Shares What a Potential Season 2 Could Be Like - LaughingPlace.com Could FX's "Shōgun" get a Season 2? Historian Dr. Adam Clulow discusses James Clavell's original vision for his novel and what happened to the real-life inspirations behind Toranaga, Blackthorne, and Lady Ochiba.

Based on James Clavell’s classic novel, FX’s new TV series Shōgun takes viewers to 17th Century Japan, as it stands on the brink of a century-defining civil war. The show promises drama, romance and intrigue, but also - writes 2023 Dan David Prize winner Adam Clulow – opens up the world of Japanese politics in a way that the previous 1980 adaptation did not. In other words, the 2024 series “puts The Shōgun back into Shōgun.”
