00:00Shogun has already broken the record for the most Emmy wins by a show in a single
00:04year. What has all the success of the show meant to you? It's a lot for me. You
00:11know we spent a long time to create this show and we had a great teamwork. East
00:17meets West. You know great cooperation we had. Then great reaction from the
00:23audience. Then now this so it's a lot. What was your reaction when you found
00:30out you were getting a season two of the show? Yeah because of the great reaction
00:36from the audience we didn't think about that during the shooting for the season
00:40one but a lot of people saying we want to watch season two or more and then we
00:48start thinking about that. So we just started prepare, writing, staffing. Yeah.
00:56Have you seen scripts for season two yet? Any scripts done? We are discussing but
01:01not first draft yet. And do you know I know that the show for season one was
01:08filmed in Canada because you couldn't film in Japan in Japan due to COVID.
01:11Would season two possibly film in Japan? We are finding the possibilities of
01:15course. Yeah. Not everything but maybe part of. And everyone loved Anna's
01:22character in season one. Is there any chance that maybe she'll come back as a
01:26ghost as in a flashback in season two because everyone would love to see her?
01:31Or twins? I don't know. I have no idea but you know only she could do that role so
01:39no one can do that like that. I am so proud of her and then hopefully we can
01:47work together again but who knows. Thank you so much. Congratulations and good
01:51luck this weekend.
