Who Can Return In Shogun Season 2? 8 Characters We Think Will Be Back

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT FX's Shogun has taken the world by storm, causing what was previously intended to be a miniseries to be renewed for two more seasons and opening the door for the return of eight fantastic characters. With Shogun season 2 now officially in the works at FX, it's interesting to consider what storylines might emerge in season 2 and which characters might return.

With that in mind, Toranaga's plans in Shogun season 2 may involve stepping down from his position to maintain his power, much like he retreats to victory in season 1. Shogun may also seek to depict new aspects of medieval Japanese culture, and Fuji living as a nun could give the show an opportunity to explore one such avenue.

It's hard to know exactly what Lady Ochiba's role will be in future seasons of Shogun, but considering the calculated cunning she displays in season 1, it's safe to say she will not be sitting by idly while Toranaga rules the country. There may well be some grappling for power between the two strategists as the new regime comes together, which could be a fascinating contest.

3 Kashigi Omi — Yabushige's Nephew Loosely Based On Honda Masazum Close After Yabushige promised Toranaga that his nephew, Kashigi Omi, would serve him well at the end of Shogun season 1, it seems likely that Omi will return for season 2. Yabushige played an important part in Toranaga's plans, and while his nephew might not have the same cunning and ruthlessness as him, Omi seems poised to be a much more steadfast ally to Toranaga.

Toranaga's primary Christian ally was Lady Mariko, but with her dead going into Shogun season 2, he may not be as sympathetic toward the church's presence.
