After the Emmys, many are excited about “Shogun” Season 2 At the very least, I have high hopes for “Shogun” Season 2 However, recent comments from FX executive John Landgraf make me worry that Season 2 will be the show's final season

Landgraf is the chairman of FX Content and FX Productions, and the decision to allow Season 2 to air rests with him So I was really excited when not only was Season 2 approved in May, but a third season was “likely” to be approved as well

However, Landgraf may have poured cold water on that third season Speaking to Deadline after FX's big night at the Emmys, where “Shogun” won a record 18 categories out of 25 nominations, Landgraf said, “I'm not convinced there will be a third season”

But before you get too outraged, this is not a complete quote Shortly after saying he wasn't sure if there would be a season three, Landgraf at least indicates that he is still open to the idea, if it makes sense for the show and the network He said, “Even though it's fiction, when you really look at the historical characters portrayed here, I still feel that three seasons is a really legitimate number of seasons

For what it's worth, the show was supposed to last only 10 episodes So the fact that the next season of “Shogun” is now set is a victory at any rate for fans of the hit FX show, let alone two seasons

However, the show was supposed to end after one season, so I don't know what to expect from season 2 or 3 The show and the original book are based on real people and events in history, but the first season of the show covered the entire book

Still, things seem to be moving forward in earnest despite the need to step outside of the books; in the same interview with Deadline, Landgraf said, “The scripts are coming in, the outlines are coming out”

Speaking of filming locations, it appears that the show may return to Canada for Season 2, despite the fact that both Landgraf and lead actor Hiroyuki Sanada would prefer to film in Japan rather than British Columbia When asked about filming in Japan, Landgraf said, “We struggled to match the location with the scale of what we could accomplish there and the scale of the ambition of the show”
