Shogun’s series premiere has been the most successful launch of a show in the history of Disney.
The new FX series Shogun is shaping up to be the biggest TV event of the year. After garnering incredibly good reviews before the premiere on February 27, it is now revealed that the show’s start was a record-breaking success.
Shogun Premiere Is The Best In FX History
According to Variety, Shogun had the best premiere of any Disney series ever with “9 million views globally across Hulu, Disney+ and Star+ in its first six days of availability”. The show, based on the James Clavell novel of the same name , is already a huge success.
“The collision of two ambitious men from different worlds and a mysterious woman samurai; John Blackthorne, a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga, a shrewd, powerful daimyō, at odds with his own dangerous.”
With these impressive numbers, Shogun has beaten the previously most-successful series premieres in the history Disney, which owns Shogun’s production company and distributor FX, which were The Kardashians Season 1 and The Bear Season 2.
