What’s Coming To Hulu This Week | Shōgun
It’s the start of a new week and time to take a look at what’s coming to Hulu this week, which includes a brand new limited series from FX and much more.
With the Hulu On Disney+ beta underway, many of the new additions to Hulu are also going to be available within Disney+ for Hulu subscribers, though it’s important to note that not every Hulu release will be available due to licensing and sometimes new additions take a little longer to turn up.
Here’s the rundown:
Shōgun
FX’s “Shōgun,” an original adaptation of James Clavell’s bestselling novel, is set in Japan in the year 1600 at the dawn of a century-defining civil war. Producer Hiroyuki Sanada stars as Lord Yoshii Toranaga who 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 (Cosmo Jarvis), comes bearing secrets that could help Toranaga tip the scales of power and devastate the formidable influence of Blackthorne’s own enemies — the Jesuit priests and Portuguese merchants. Toranaga’s and Blackthorne’s fates become inextricably tied to their translator, Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai), a mysterious Christian noblewoman and the last of a disgraced line.
While serving her lord amidst this fraught political landscape, Mariko must reconcile her newfound companionship with Blackthorne, her commitment to the faith that saved her and her duty to her late father.
The first two episodes of “Shōgun” are available to stream on Hulu from today and new episodes are being released every week.
