It\u2019s safe to say that Sh\u014dgun<\/a> is the Disney Plus<\/a> series that many have been waiting for, with anticipation building for the new drama since another exciting trailer was revealed during the\u00a0 2024 Super Bowl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Based on the bestselling 1975 novel of the same name<\/a> by James Clavell, Sh\u014dgun formed one part of the acclaimed Asian Saga book series and is no stranger to being adapted, having been the basis of a 1980 TV series, computer games and even a Broadway musical.<\/p>\n

The premise centres on Japan in 1600 as the peace of the country is consumed by civil war, following Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) who must navigate leadership and changing politics once his Council of Regents unite against him. But Toranaga is surprised when English ship pilot John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) comes bearing secrets that could help Toranaga in his quest for complete power.<\/p>\n

Joining Sanada and Jarvis in the cast is Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko, who hopes that her role in the series will further conversations around Japanese culture. Speaking to TVLine<\/a>, the actress said: \u201cI hope they learn, or\u00a0re<\/em>learn, about Japanese women, because still a lot of people have misconceptions of us. They like to sexualise us a lot, and we really tried to give more voice to the female characters in this show.\u201d<\/p>\n
