Shōgun (TV Mini Series 2024) – News – IMDb
In an electrifying twist of fate, “Shogun” has stormed the streaming platforms, securing a staggering 9 million views, dethroning the reigning champion, “The Bear” Season 2, as FX’s most monumental Hulu premiere.
The inaugural episodes of this gripping 10-part series have captivated 9 million viewers worldwide across Hulu, Disney+, and Star+ within its initial six-day window, defining views as the total stream time divided by the runtime.
This remarkable feat catapults “Shogun” to the summit of scripted series premieres globally for Disney General Entertainment, triumphing over the likes of “The Kardashians” Season 1. Additionally, it claims the title of Hulu’s top FX series premiere in the U.S., eclipsing the previous record set by “The Bear” Season 2. Notably, the “Shogun” viewership encompasses Hulu on Disney+ as well.
A labor of love for FX chief John Landgraf, “Shogun,” adapted from James Clavell’s acclaimed novel, was greenlit in 2018. The series has garnered rave reviews from critics, hailed as “thrillingly transportive event TV” by Variety’s Allison Herman, boasting a remarkable 99% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Crafted for television by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, with Marks at the helm as showrunner and executive producer, the ensemble cast is led by Cosmo Jarvis as John Blackthorne, supported by Hiroyuki Sanada as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko, and a host of other talented performers, weaving a tapestry of intrigue and drama that has enthralled audiences worldwide.
