Shōgun has already become a darling of the awards season, winning several awards for its first season.
Now the FX show has won the best international series at Bafta TV Awards. In his speech of acceptance, the showrunner Justin Marks underlined how the series was made with global cooperation.
“You have a bunch of Americans who gathered with a bunch of Europeans and a bunch of Japanese and have made a show in Canada, and now we are on stage in England,” added the creator.
He continued: “that we are on stage is really a testimony to the spirit of the great international collaboration that our crew of 3,000 people adopted”.
“It is a spirit that unfortunately disappears from the world at the moment. Thank you, Bafta … for having honored this idea that good television is really a nation without borders,” noted the showrunner.
Meanwhile, the filming of season two long awaited will start in Vancouver in January 2026.
Details on the plot are limited. However, the events of the second season will take place after a decade of what happened in the first season.
