An English sailor washes up in 1600s Japan – and finds himself swept into a storm of samurai, court intrigue and culture shock. Shōgun is a sprawling, cinematic epic of East meets West, full of deadly politics, forbidden love and honour codes written in blood. Grand, gripping and gloriously immersive.

Shōgun is a true epic. High-seas adventure meets complex historical drama in this gripping tale of a British maritime pilot whose ship crashes upon Japanese shores. John Blackthorn is thrust into a turbulent era in feudal Japan, marked by shifting power, international tension and dynastic clashes.
