This epic Disney Plus series has made history at the Emmys with 14 awards… and there is still one more ceremony to go

We have been saying for a while that Shogun is the best series on Disney Plus, as well as one of the best period dramas we have seen in many years. Released last year under the direction of Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks, the show is based on the famous novel by James Clavel that was already adapted for the big screen. However, its success has been such that a second season has been confirmed at some point, and it seems to be on its way to becoming a great cult series.

But just in case you still had any doubts about how impressive Shogun is, you just have to take a look at the Creative Emmy to realize its power. These awards, held one week before the main Emmys, serve to distribute technical awards and not overshadow the main gala. And it has already made history in them, winning 14 Emmys at once, the highest number of awards given in a single season of a series.

Historic Record at the Emmy Awards

All these awards are the ones that Shogun has already won, even before all the Emmys are handed out:

Almost everything. But why should you watch Shogun? Well, if the awards don’t convince you, you can always fall in love with its unbreakable synopsis:

Shogun follows the story of Lord Yoshii Toranaga, a man who fights for his life as his enemies in the Council of Regents unite against him. When a mysterious European ship is found abandoned in a nearby fishing village, its English captain John Blackthorne arrives with secrets that could help Toranaga devastate the formidable influence of Blackthorne’s own enemies: the Jesuit priests and the Portuguese traders.
