The February 27 premiere of FX’s Shogun marked the beginning of a worthwhile TV event by taking us all back to feudal Japan. John Wick: Chapter 4 star Hiroyuki Sanada, a veteran martial artist who has made major contributions to samurai stories over the years, returns as the historical drama’s leading man. Set in the 17th century and based on the novel by John Clavell, the series opens the door to a more ambitious rivalry and mysterious warriors.
Its two-episode premiere has already sparked buzz as one of the most anticipated TV projects of the year, with audiences already hailing it as “groundbreaking” and a “masterpiece.” Another Shogun review on Twitter even said that the FX series is doing its part to restore “the spirit of Golden Age TV”. Comprising an ambitious mix of authentic Japanese culture, action, cultural politics and whatnot, Shogun’s upcoming episodes are already being eyed for release dates. Here’s what we know about the next episode:

With the epic saga focusing on the time of war, the next installment will take us straight to the heart of the preparations for the same. This, in turn, will introduce more political drama as key figures settle into their new roles and choose their alliances while betrayals emerge on the other side.
The preview for the third episode also establishes John as Tauranga’s indispensable advisor. On the other hand, he will call out to other feudal lords for attention as he forms a partnership with them.
