FX’s historical drama Shogun just wrapped up its first season. It’s billed as a miniseries with a beginning, middle, and end contained in one season. But it’s been very popular and well-received, and many are wondering if there could be another season or a spin-off. Series co-creator Justin Marks has now said he would be open to the idea if they found the right story.
“I keep saying it’s like we want to let everyone be on the same page when it comes to the book. And hopefully now the TV audience and the book audience are on the same page with what the story is and where it resolves. I think if we had a story, if we could find a story, we would be open to it,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “But I don’t think that anyone ever wants to be out over their skis without a roadmap and everything. And it’s also just about, do people want more of it?”
The answer to that question is probably yes, but Marks said a concern is that a potential Season 2 would take the story beyond what author James Clavell wrote.
