Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT FX's breakout 2024 hit Shogun is widely acknowledged as a huge improvement over the original 1980 miniseries – itself by no means a disaster – with one significant production change helping to explain the difference between the projects. Based on James Clavell's 1975 novel of the same name, both adaptations revolve around the story of John Blackthorne – an English sailor who finds himself stranded in 17th-century Japan.
FX’s Shogun Told The Story From Multiple Points of View Close A key creative decision behind the original Shogun miniseries was to avoid the use of subtitles for Japanese dialogue throughout. Although the show shared a similar language issue to the 2024 Shogun, with English being described as Portuguese, the Japanese dialogue was presented without any translation whatsoever.
