‘Shōgun’ Hits 9 Million Views and Beats ‘The Bear’ Season 2 as FX’s Biggest Hulu Premiere
The debut of the FX limited series "Shōgun" has proven to be a hit with audiences.
That is high enough to make it the number one scripted series premiere globally for Disney General Entertainment, beating “The Kardashians” Season 1, and the number one premiere of an FX series on Hulu in the U.S. ahead of “The Bear” Season 2. “Shōgun,” based on the James Clavell novel of the same name, has long been a passion project for FX chief John Landgraf, who originally greenlit the show back in 2018. Cosmo Jarvis stars as John Blackthorne alongside producer Hiroyuki Sanada as Lord Yoshii Toranaga, Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko, Tadanobu Asano as Kashigi Yabushige, Hiroto Kanai as Kashigi Omi, Takehiro Hira as Ishido Kazunari, Moeka Hoshi as Usami Fuji, Tokuma Nishioka as Toda Hiromatsu, Shinnosuke Abe as Buntaro, Yuki Kura as Yoshii Nagakado, Yuka Kouri as Kiku, and Fumi Nikaido as Ochiba no Kata.
