‘Shōgun’ Helped Spark the Miniseries Trend, But How Will It Continue?
When “Shōgun” first premiered on NBC in 1980, it broke records, scoring the highest weekly numbers in NBC history and drawing an estimated 70 million viewers. Forty-four years later, when FX brought James Clavell’s masterpiece to the small screen for a 10-part limited series, “Shōgun” did it again. Domestically, the first episode ranked as the most streamed FX series in Hulu’s history, ahead of “The Bear” Season 2.
Yet, funnily enough, two adaptations of the same show sit on opposite ends of one particular trend.
