Shogun has been making waves in the streaming world, surpassing Netflix in consecutive weeks on the streaming charts, a feat rarely achieved. The samurai series has secured the top spot on Samba TV's tracking list, which monitors both shows and movies. Last week, Shogun topped the list, and it continues to dominate this week as well.
Despite facing tough competition, including the popular reality show Love is Blind, Shogun has maintained its position at the top. However, with the recent success of Netflix's The Gentlemen, which has been performing exceptionally well, it is anticipated that Shogun's reign may be challenged next week.
Shogun's consistent performance on the streaming charts is noteworthy, as it does not experience the sharp drop-off typically seen with binge-watched shows. The miniseries, comprising ten episodes, is set to air until April 23, providing viewers with new episodes each week.
While a second season of Shogun seems unlikely, the success of the series raises the possibility of exploring more Asia-centric content from the same author, who has other books set in different time periods. The potential for future adaptations remains uncertain, as it would require significant effort to match the quality of Shogun.
As Shogun continues to captivate audiences, the prospect of delving into new projects inspired by the series remains a topic of interest. Whether Hulu will pursue similar hit shows or explore different narratives from the author's collection is yet to be determined.
