Official companion podcasts for popular TV series are not a recent phenomenon. Ever since networks realized that they couldn’t leave all the analytical fun to fans, big time TV shows have been accompanied by network-sponsored audio complements.
HBO has been a frequent producer with podcasts for its dramas like Watchmen, House of the Dragon, Succession, and more. Other networks have since gotten in on the action like Paramount Network with Yellowstone, Showtime with Dexter: New Blood, and Apple TV+ with For All Mankind.
The acclaimed American TV brand FX, however, never seemed too keen on official tie-in podcasting despite presenting many intriguing prospects over the years like The Bear and Fargo. That all changed this year when the Disney-owned company launched FX’s Shōgun: The Official Podcast to accompany the weekly release of its epic miniseries Shōgun.

“SHŌGUN” — Pictured: Hiroyuki Sanada as Yoshii Toranaga. Cr: Kurt Iswarienko/FX Copyright 2023, FX. All Rights Reserved. In 1980, the TV miniseries Shogun became the first — and, so far, still only — American television production filmed entirely in Japan. So, considering the authenticity the new production of Shogun has strived to achieve — including having the Japanese characters speaking in subtitled Japanese — it’s a little surprising to learn that the new series was filmed not in Japan, but in the Vancouver, Canada area. Producer Eriko Miyagawa, who helped populate the production with a cast that’s nearly all Japanese, told us it was a bit of culture shock to step off the set and be in Canada. (Click on the media bar below to hear Eriko Miyagawa) https://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/HIROYUKI_-SANADA_Shogun_Filming_in_Canada_.mp3 Shogun is currently streaming on Hulu.

FX will not be “exoticizing” Japanese culture in its upcoming limited series “Shogun,” the network’s CEO John Landgraf assured reporters during the Television Critics Association press tour Friday.
“I referenced, I think, in my comments that it’s really told from multiple points of view, not just the singular Western, white male point of view, so it’s told through many Japanese points of view,” Landgraf said when asked how the show would avoid “exoticizing” feudal Japan, in comparison to the ’80s miniseries adaptation starring Richard Chamberlain. “And there’s a lot of really fun and fascinating work going on to try to balance the story out and tell it from both points of view.”
The 10-episode series “Shogun” is based on James Clavell’s novel of the same name. Set in feudal Japan in the early 17th century, the story follows a mysterious female samurai and the shipwrecked English sailor John Blackthorne.
