'Shōgun' finale: Release date, cast, where to watch and stream the last episode
The finale episode for the 10-episode epic limited series "Shōgun" almost here.
Over the last nine episodes, viewers have been deeply immersed into the world of 16th-century feudal Japan, a modern adaptation of the 1970's novel and 1980's miniseries of the same name. Mainly through the eyes of Englishman and outsider John Blackthorne, the limited series explores a fictionalized version of history and the dynamics, culture and ensuing power struggle in Japan after the death of the country's supreme leader.
Although Blackthorne, played by Cosmo Jarvis, is fictional, his story is based on the real relationship between warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu and British pilot William Adams, who later came to be known as the "first Western Samurai."
