Shogun (2024)

Shōgun shattered expectations by winning 18 Emmy Awards in 2024, including Outstanding Drama Series, while featuring 70% of its dialogue in Japanese—a barrier no previous American prestige show had crossed. This historical epic, set in feudal Japan before the first Shogunate, depicts a world as mythological and distant as any invented realm in The Sandman, yet grounds its fantasy in real 17th-century political chaos.
