Shogun Season 1 Episodes 1 & 2
FX’s hotly anticipated period drama, Shogun, is all set to make its debut on the network. Hiroyuki Sanada is among the leading names within the core cast. Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks are adapting James Clavell’s book of the same name for the teleplay. FX had given the production a straight-to-series order. However, after spending years in production hell, Shogun has emerged as one of the topmost shows to look out for in 2024.
We are excited to bring you coverage of all the episodes in Season 1 with episodic recaps and preview articles for each new episode, assisting you to keep up with the unfolding drama.
Here is everything you need to know about Shogun Episodes 1 & 2, including their release date, time, and where you can watch them.
Where Can I Watch Shogun
Shogun will be available to watch on FX Network and Hulu for our viewers in the US.
For our viewers in Canada, Australia, the UK, and most other territories, Shogun will be available to watch on Disney+.
Shogun Season 1 Episodes 1 & 2 Release Date
Shogun Season 1 Episodes 1 & 2 will be released on Tuesday 27th February at 12 AM E.T. This time is for the streaming release on Hulu and Disney+. New episodes will then have their broadcasting debut on FX the same day at 10 PM E.T. Expect the runtime to be roughly 55 minutes or thereabouts, which is consistent with the time frame for shows of similar stature on the platform. Shogun is a period drama and is campaigned as a prestige offering from the network.
This makes it difficult to ascertain how long the episodes can be. But the initial few episodes should clear the air up. The show will stick to a weekly release schedule after the first two episodes have aired, tugging the Tuesday airings. The timings for the series will remain the same.
The new episodes of Shogun are titled “Anjin” and “Servants of Two Masters.” The episodes will be available to stream with subtitles. The plot summary for Episode 1 reads: “Destinies converge in Japan after a barbarian ship washes ashore in a poor fishing village. Meanwhile, in Osaka, Lord Toranaga finds himself outplayed by his enemies.”
How Many Episodes Will Shogun Have?
Season 1 of Shogun will have a total of 10 episodes. After the first two episodes have aired, we will have another 8 episodes to go. So the first season is going to last for almost two months if the weekly timeline is kept intact. FX isn’t expected to make wholesale changes to the airing schedule. However, in case they do, be rest assured that you will find all the updates in these previews.
