The creators of Shōgun have spent so much time insisting that it was a limited series that they almost made us believe it. Nevertheless, critically acclaimed series with high viewership numbers do not go gentle into that good night; in fact, they’re born screaming, with several seasons already foretold before they even take their first steps. That said, Shōgun’s creators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks probably did believe they were making a limited series–right up until recent events changed their minds.
