The release date forShogunEpisode 8 is locked in following the debut of the latest chapter in the hit historicaldrama.
For nearly two months,Shogunhas been delivering slicing-and-dicing samurai action for fans on bothFXandHulu.
It is the first of the series' final three episodes.
The latest chapter in theShogunstory will continue the series' release schedule.
It will stream on Hulu starting at 3 a.m.
ET before airing on FX at 10 p.m. Only two episodes ofShogunremain after Episode 8, with the series finale set for Tuesday, April 23.
After tensions rose inShogunEpisode 7, things will continue to ramp up in the series' upcoming eighth episode.
However, nothing shocked audiences more than the head-turning death of Toranaga’s son, Yoshii Nagakado.
Moments before Nagakado died, he was engaged in a swift sword fight with his uncle, Saeki Nobutatsu.
The Lord-to-be did not meet an honorable end.
This unlikely end to Toranaga’s youngest son will almost surely be discussed again in Episode 8.
However, one can assume it will be a catalytic event for the rest of the show.
Some major bloodshed is coming inShogun, it is just a matter of when.
