Shōgun is coming to Hulu in February.
Shōgun is based on the James Clavell novel of the same name, the first book in his Asian Saga. The show is described as "an epic saga of war, passion, and power set in Feudal Japan."
Hiroyuki Sanada produces the series and stars as Lord Yoshii Toranaga. The cast also includes Cosmo Jarvis, Anna Sawai, Tadanobu Asano, Fumi Nikaido, Tokuma Nishioka and Takehiro Hira.
Shōgun opens in Japan in the year 1600 at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Toranaga (Sanada) is fighting for his life as his enemies on the Council of Regents unite against him.
"When a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village, its English pilot, John Blackthorne (Jarvis) comes bearing secrets that could help Toranaga tip the scales of power and devastate the formidable influence of Blackthorne's own enemies," an official synopsis reads.FX shared a teaser trailer for the show earlier this month that shows Blackthorne wash up on the shores of Japan.
Shōgun will have a two-episode premiere Feb. 27 on Hulu in the United States.
