The wrap locks the production into post, and the name-heavy cast list Marks' post sits behind shows how much of the show's Japan-side weight now rests on a returning ensemble plus a new intake of established Japanese actors.

Filming on Shogun Season 2 has finished, co-creator Justin Marks announced on X. Marks wrote that nearly 200 days of shooting, which began in Vancouver in January, have ended. Hiroyuki Sanada returns as lead actor and executive producer, with Cosmo Jarvis, Fumi Nikaido, Shinnosuke Abe and others reprising roles. Ren Meguro, Asami Mizukawa and Masataka Kubota are among the new cast. Season 2 is set 10 years after the first.
Marks posted the news on X, writing that the production started with an empty studio and now the studio is empty again. He described nearly 200 days of filming surrounded by tatami, palanquins and lacquerware, and asked viewers to look forward to what kind of world awaits.
The shoot ran in Vancouver from January. Season 2 picks up the story 10 years after the first, which was based on James Clavell's novel about the eve of the Battle of Sekigahara and took 18 categories at the Emmy Awards.
