Shōgun, the successful Disney+ miniseries that critics compare to Game of Thrones, is inspired by real events. The story begins in the year 1600, in the final stages of the warlike Sengoku period and the moments before the luminous Edo period.

Disney+ releases a new episode of Shōgun every Tuesday. According to the entertainment company's own data, the first of the three episodes already available has exceeded nine million views globally in its first six days.
