‘Shōgun’ is a limited series no more: FX is gearing up for more installments of the historic drama.

FX and streaming partner Hulu are saying that they are working with the estate of Shōgun author James Clavell to develop two additional seasons.
There is no mention of a green light, and a start date for production has not been set, but a writers’ room is being assembled and will begin this summer. There is also no information on source material, whether the new seasons will stay within the Shōgun universe or will also draw from the other books in Clavell’s Asian Saga.
FX will submit the saga - which originally premiered as a limited series - in the drama category.
It will compete against Netflix’s “The Crown,” Apple’s “The Morning Show” and Prime Video’s “Fallout.”
HBO’s “Game of Thrones” currently holds the record for most nominations in a single year with 32.
