As FX\u2019s acclaimed series Sh\u014dgun<\/strong> prepares for its highly anticipated Season 2<\/strong>, one star has predicted a grim outcome for his character. Takehiro Hira<\/strong>, who plays Ishido Kazunari, believes his time in feudal Japan may be cut short when the story resumes.<\/p>\n Despite having seen only one script for the Sh\u014dgun Season 2, Takehiro Hira has a strong suspicion about his character\u2019s destiny. The actor has grounded his prediction in the historical roots of the series.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t really talk about that, but you know, the older characters in Shogun loosely follow the actual historical figures. So my guy doesn\u2019t really survive much after the big war, the battle. So my days are numbered,\u201d Hira told Variety<\/a>. He then offered a glimpse of what that end might look like, adding, \u201cI will probably have an honorable death.\u201d But he teased his return, saying, \u201cBut I could come back as a\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n This comes after the announcement for Sh\u014dgun Season 2 was made, confirming that production will commence in January. The new season will jump ahead 10 years, exploring a transformed arc and its characters a decade after the events of the first season.<\/p>\n The returning cast includes stars Hiroyuki Sanada and Cosmo Jarvis, who will be joined by new members Asami Mizukawa, Jun Kunimura, and Masataka Kubota, among others. Behind the camera, a mix of familiar and new directors will direct episodes, including Season 1 directors Hiromi Kamata and Takeshi Fukunaga, as well as Anthony Byrne and Kate Herron.<\/p>\n Series co-creator Justin Marks has promised an epic scale for Sh\u014dgun Season 2, describing it as both a \u201csweeping, unexpected love story\u201d and a tragic tale of war. \u201cI don\u2019t think you\u2019ve ever seen anything like this kind of scale, this kind of tragedy, and this kind of humanity,\u201d he shared<\/a>.<\/p>\n As of now, there\u2019s no official release date for Sh\u014dgun Season 2.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Devanshi Basu on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Sh\u014dgun Actor Teases His Character Could Die in Season 2<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As FX\u2019s acclaimed series Sh\u014dgun prepares for its highly anticipated Season 2, one star has predicted a grim outcome for his character.
