About
FX's Emmy-winning epic set in feudal Japan returns for Season 2, filming in Vancouver from late January through September 2026. Hiroyuki Sanada reprises his role as Lord Yoshii Toranaga in a story that jumps ahead 10 years as he strives to become Shogun, leader of Japan's warrior class. The production transformed the old Flavelle Sawmill site in Port Moody into a stunning 17th century Japanese fishing village, complete with a large temple and landlocked ship. North Shore Studios provides soundstage facilities, while Season 1 also used locations in Belcarra, Coquitlam, Burnaby, North Vancouver's Princess Park, and Ucluelet on Vancouver Island. The show swept the 2024 Emmys with a record-breaking 18 wins, making it one of the most acclaimed series in recent television history. Vancouver's lush Pacific Northwest landscapes provide a convincing stand-in for historic Japan.
