Speaking about the show, Justin Mark the executive producer stated, "So much of this show is about bringing aspects of a faraway world to an accessible realm for the audience. It's just been truly awe-inspiring and it's so exciting to see when a scene really comes together on this scale." He added, "It's is a show about agency and control over the path of one's own fate. It's the story of Toranaga; he's a prisoner of a political nature stuck in Osaka waiting for his fate to be handed down." He further said, "It's about that meeting of people from a disparate range of culture, gender, identity, ethnicity, language, who find common ground."

FX's Shogun also stars Tadanobu Asan, Hiroto Kanai, Takehiro Hira, Moeka Hoshi, Tokuma Nishioka, Shinnosuke, Yuki Kura, and Fumi Nikaido. (ANI)
