Shogun 2: Cosmo Jarvis, Hiroyuki Sanada's show to take place 10 years after season 1. Check production, script details
FX has revealed more details about the upcoming second season of its Emmy-winning drama series Shogun, which will begin filming in January 2026. Cosmo Jarvis has closed a deal to reprise his role as English pilot John Blackthorne, joining Hiroyuki Sanada, who will return as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, as per Deadline.

The second season will be "a wholly original new chapter to the first season," taking place 10 years after the events of the first season. The new chapter will continue the historically inspired saga of Lord Toranaga and John Blackthorne, whose fates are inextricably entwined.
According to Deadline, production on season 2 is slated to begin in January in Vancouver, where the first instalment was shot.
Hiroyuki Sanada has been upped to executive producer for season 2, and Cosmo Jarvis will join the series' producing ranks as co-executive producer.
Series creators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks have spoken about the challenges of conceiving a second season without a blueprint, as none of the other novels in James Clavell's Asian Saga have the same characters as Shogun.
However, they have revealed that they leaned on the Shogun novel, incorporating elements and characters that were not used in season 1.
FX chairman John Landgraf revealed that there are no plans to film a second and third season back-to-back, and that a third Shogun instalment is not a lock.
"I don't know that we're certain there will be three seasons, but in really looking at the characters in the history that's being depicted here, albeit in a fictionalised manner, it still feels to us like three is the right number of seasons to really do it justice," he said.

At 26, Eve Jobs isn't just the youngest daughter of the iconic Steve Jobs, she's a force of her own. A Stanford grad with a passion for horses and haute couture, Eve has gracefully leapt from elite showjumping circuits to high fashion catwalks. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, with campaigns for Louis Vuitton and appearances on Paris runways, she's rewriting what it means to be a tech heiress in the age of Instagram. Her fiancé, 25-year-old Harry Charles, is a gold-medalist Olympian who made headlines at the 2024 Paris Games for competing and winning with a fractured arm. Harry isn't just talented, he's tenacious. Riding high on his family's legacy (his father Peter Charles helped secure Britain's first team jumping gold in six decades), Harry has earned his own spotlight. The couple made their debut as a duo at the Paris Olympics, turning heads not just for their athletic prowess but for their effortless chemistry. A shared love for horses quickly turned into something deeper, and soon after, an engagement that's now leading to what insiders are calling the 'wedding of the year.'

'Thug Life' star Kamal Haasan's ex-wife Vani Ganapathy once revealed she walked out of the marriage with him: 'I have always refrained from mudslinging because...'
Kamal Haasan's marriage to Vani Ganapathy ended in divorce in 1988, amidst rumors of his relationship with Sarika. Haasan claimed the divorce nearly bankrupted him, a statement Vani disputed. She revealed she initiated the divorce and expressed disappointment over his handling of the financial settlement and his alleged relationship with Sarika during their marriage. Kamal Haasan , the legendary actor with a career spanning over six decades, has always been in the spotlight—both for his cinematic achievements and his personal life. While his recent film Thug Life has captured attention for its gripping story and bold scenes, the whispers about his past, especially his divorce from first wife Vani Ganapathy, continue to intrigue fans and media alike. Here's a closer look at the untold story behind their split and the aftermath that followed. Kamal Haasan fell in love with dancer Vani Ganapathy and married her in 1978. But problems started when news came out that Kamal was seeing Sarika . It was said that he began dating Sarika before he legally separated from Vani. In 1988, Kamal and Vani got divorced. Kamal later said that the divorce almost made him go bankrupt. Since their divorce, Vani has kept a low profile, but Kamal's claim about going bankrupt after their split upset her. She expressed frustration over his continued focus on the past, mentioning that despite their long separation, he refused to even give her used appliances from their shared home, reflecting her disappointment in his behavior. Vani also shared that she was the one who ended their marriage. She expressed surprise at Kamal's claims about bankruptcy, saying it was hard to believe that alimony could cause such a situation. She felt his ego might have been hurt by her decision to leave but thought he could have handled the matter more gracefully by simply mentioning financial difficulties. Vani and Kamal never publicly revealed the true reason for their divorce. However, several reports suggested that during his marriage to Vani, Kamal began a relationship with Sarika, and they were reportedly living together. When Sarika became pregnant with Shruti Haasan , Kamal divorced Vani and married Sarika later that same year.
