In what FX describes as its largest international scale production to date, Shōgun is a 10-episode order limited series period drama based on James Clavell's best-selling novel. It is the second TV adaptation of the novel, following after the 1980 NBC miniseries.

Set in feudal Japan, Shōgun charts the collision of two ambitious men from different worlds and a mysterious female samurai: John Blackthorne, a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga, a shrewd, powerful daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.
