There is exciting news for Sh\u014dgun<\/a> fans, as Disney Plus<\/a> have confirmed the show\u2019s creators are currently working on more seasons of the hit series.<\/p>\n

FX, Hulu and the estate of James Clavell are working to extend the drama, with two additional seasons in the works.<\/p>\n

While production has not yet been confirmed, Justin Marks, Rachel Kondo, Michaela Clavell and Hiroyuki Sanada will assemble this summer to begin writing more of the high-octane series.<\/p>\n

Sh\u014dgun launched on Disney Plus<\/a> earlier this year, following English navigator John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), who finds himself on the shores of Japan and becomes embroiled in a battle that could lead to civil war.<\/p>\n

His character is joined by Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), who is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him.<\/p>\n

Co-creator Marks previously told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> that the possibility of season 2 was up in the air.<\/p>\n

He told the publication: \u201cI don\u2019t know. I keep saying it\u2019s like we want to let everyone be on the same page when it comes to the book.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd hopefully now the TV audience and the book audience are on the same page with what the story is and where it resolves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if we had a story, if we could find a story, we would be open to it. But I don\u2019t think that anyone ever wants to be out over their skis without a roadmap and everything. And it\u2019s also just about, do people want more of it?\u201d<\/p>

Based on James Clavell\u2019s best selling novel<\/a>, the series features an all-star cast, including Tadanobu Asano as Kashigi Yabushige, Hiroto Kanai as Kashigi Omi,\u00a0Takehiro Hira as Ishido Kazunari, <\/span>Moeka Hoshi as Usami Fuji and plenty more.<\/span><\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t confirmed what the next two seasons will include, but given it is based on a series of novels, there are plenty of fans who will know what could be in store.<\/p>\n

Sh\u014dgun is the third book in Clavell\u2019s series, and is often read as the first, meaning there are five other novels that could be adapted for screen!<\/p>\n
