Season 1 remains available on Hulu. The sophomore season is set 10 years after the first season. It continues the historical storyline based on James Clavell\u2019s novel. Season 1 followed Lord Yoshii Toranaga as he faced political threats from the Council of Regents. The plot shifted when English pilot John Blackthorne provided strategic information that altered Toranaga\u2019s position in the conflict.<\/p>\n At the Walt Disney Company Asia Pacific Disney+ Originals Preview in Hong Kong, the studio reportedly revealed the Season 2 writing and directing teams.
