Although the first season of Shogun faithfully brought James Clavell's work to life, viewers wonder about the prospect of following seasons. Maria Gonzales and Aika Miyake, the editors, are sure that the Shogun universe can be developed outside of the original book in great extent. Focusing on various individuals and narratives, they see future seasons as a means to investigate the rich history and culture of 17th-century Japan. The second season might look at the life of Lord Toranaga's adversaries or the path of a young warrior trying atonement. The third season might probe the political intrigues of the Tokugawa Shogunate or perhaps follow the exploits of a fictitious character negotiating the turbulent terrain of early modern Japan. The editors ultimately aim to make sure that next seasons not only provide something fresh and interesting for viewers but also stay faithful to the soul of the original source material.

They underline that next seasons will be separate narratives exploring many dimensions of 17th-century Japanese life, not just repetitions of history. Though they are not ready to expose certain narratives, they suggest possible paths, such investigating the political complexities of the Tokugawa Shogunate or digging into the life of Lord Toranaga's competitors. They also discuss the prospect of adding a new, fictional figure whose path runs against the backdrop of this turbulent age. The editors are still dedicated to respecting the essence of the original book while adding new ideas and stories, so guaranteeing an interesting and enlightening experience for viewers.

This commitment to historical realism permeates the sets, clothing, and language as well, so enveloping viewers in a bygone period. The editors consider this dedication to historical authenticity as essential for guaranteeing that the next seasons of Shogun will be both entertaining and instructive.
