Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT After being announced for at least two additional seasons, Shōgun has a wide range of historical events to pull from. The Hulu/FX series recently revealed that despite the lack of source material, Shōgun is getting renewed for a second and third season, raising all sorts of questions about where the story will go next.
The end of Shōgun demonstrated that Toranaga had essentially led Ishido into a trap, which required major sacrifices from some of his most loyal servants, including Mariko and Hiromatsu. Toranaga even lost his son in an episode of Shōgun season 1, but it was also mentioned that he has other sons who should play a significant role in future seasons.
The Christian Expulsion Edict made the practice of Christianity in Japan forbidden and led to the removal of all Christian foreign missionaries. Father Martin could be allowed to remain in a rapidly developing Edo throughout the first decade of the 17th century in future episodes of Shōgun. However, Toranaga's rising suspicions of his intentions, as revealed to him in season 1 by John Blackthorne, could paint Father Martin as an enemy of the shogunate.
