FX’s latest 10-episode limited series, Shōgun, unfolds an expansive narrative steeped in the tumultuous realms of feudal Japan, drawing inspiration from James Clavell’s beloved novel. The premiere episode of this epic saga has captivated an audience of 9 million viewers globally across streaming platforms Hulu, Disney+, and Star+ within its initial six days of release, securing its position as the foremost scripted General Entertainment series debut worldwide.
Within the domestic landscape, Shōgun emerges as the premier FX offering on Hulu, edging out The Bear Season 2 in viewership, notably fueled by the engagement of Hulu audiences on Disney+.

Presently, the first 3 episodes from Shōgun is available for streaming, with subsequent installments set to premiere every Tuesday until April 23rd.
