“We must protect Japan against treachery.” FX & Hulu have revealed one final official trailer for Shōgun, created by writers Justin Marks & Rachel Kondo. This looks like it’s going to be amazingly good! A saga of war, passion, and power set in Feudal Japan. Launching for streaming at the end of this month. From James Clavell’s novel, FX’s Shōgun series is set at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Lord Yoshii Toranaga is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him, when a mysterious European ship is found in a nearby fishing village. The series follows the main character of John Blackthorne, a sailor who rises from outsider to samurai, while being used as a pawn in Japanese leader Toranaga’s struggle to reach the top. Hiroyuki Sanada stars as Yoshii Toranaga, co-starring with Cosmo Jarvis as Blackthorne, along with a massive ensemble: Tadanobu Asano, Anna Sawai, Yûki Kedôin, Eushin Lee, Tommy Bastow, Hiroto Kanai, Emi Kamito, Hiromoto Ida, Kengo Hashimoto, Sen Mars, Toshi Toda, Mako Fujimoto. The more footage they release for this, the more excited I am to watch. This is the fourth trailer – following three others before (including a red band sneak recently). Yep I’m completely sold. I’m in.

FX’s new series Shōgun follows the collision of two ambitious men from different worlds and a mysterious female samurai: John Blackthorne, a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga, a shrewd, powerful daimyo, still at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance. Shōgun is a 10-episode mini-series co-created by writer Rachel Kondo, her first major series for TV, along with Justin Marks, writer of Street Fighter, Rewind, The Jungle Book, and “Counterpart” series.
