A reboot of the successful 1980 mini-series Shōgun is in development from FX. Once again, the new 10-episode Shōgun, will be based on James Clavell’s best-selling novel of the same name.

Andrew Macdonald, Michael De Luca, and Michaela Clavell serving as executive producers alongside Tim Van Patten (Boardwalk Empire, The Sopranos), who will also direct multiple episodes. Writers of the series include Eugene Kelly and Ronan Bennett (Public Enemies).

Shōgun, set in feudal Japan, charts the collision of two ambitious men from different worlds and a mysterious female 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 daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.

We’ll keep you updated on the latest we hear about Shōgun. Until then, below is the Trailer for the original Shōgun, which starred Richard Chamberlain (Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold), Toshiro Mifune (Incident at Blood Pass), Yoko Shimada (Crying Freeman) and Furanki Sakai (Mothra).

Updates: The Shōgun reboot has been postponed and won’t make its April 9 premiere date. “We were heading towards production — still are by the way, I would still call this a project that is in active pre-production,” FX CEO John Landgraf told Deadline at TCA Monday. “We just didn’t think it was in a good enough shape. Our bottom line was – we just said, we need to slow down and we’ve got to aim higher.” The extra time is being used for more work on scripts as well as figuring out logistics for filming the 10-episode series, which the network had billed as its largest international scale production, with filming in the U.K. and Japan.
