Final thoughts and excitement for Season 2

  • Shogun is officially getting a second season with filming set for January 2026 in Vancouver.

  • The story jumps ten years ahead, placing us deeper into the Edo era with Toranaga in power but on unstable ground.

  • Expect fewer large scale battles and more political maneuvering as Toranaga manages a fragile new alliance.

  • Both Toranaga and Blackthorne return, played again by Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis, alongside the original supporting cast and many new characters.

  • The creative team, including key writers and directors from Season 1, is back, even though the show is now telling an original story beyond the book.

  • The scale and cost of production suggest a long post production window, making a likely release sometime in 2027.

  • “It kind of gives us an era when Toranaga is in power, but it is fragile.”

  • “It will probably be less battles and more juggling this fragile new alliance that he is building.”

  • “They are no longer pulling from the book, they are beyond that at this point.”

  • “With the very expensive and long shoot, it is probably not going to release till 2027, but cameras are rolling.”

  • “We have something happening that is incredible. I cannot wait for another season of Shogun.”

Marvel's "Blade" Faces Further Setbacks as Aaron Pierre Exits the Project

Marvel's "Blade" Faces Further Setbacks as Aaron Pierre Exits the Project In an unexpected turn of events, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU) much-anticipated "Blade" project faces another significant hiccup in its already tumultuous development. Actor Aaron Pierre, known for his roles in "Old" and the upcoming "The Lion King" prequel, has officially parted ways with the vampire-centric film. Speaking to Variety, Pierre succinctly noted that he is "no longer part of that," leaving fans speculating about the future of his would-be character and the movie at large. "Blade," set to star Mahershala Ali as the iconic vampire hunter, has been no stranger to challenges. From directorial changes to script rewrites, the film's journey to the big screen has been anything but smooth. Originally announced in 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con, the movie aimed to reboot the beloved character, previously portrayed by Wesley Snipes in a series of films starting in 1998. However, the path to production has been fraught with setbacks.
