The 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards were a huge event! FX’s show Shogun did amazingly well. It won 18 awards, which is more than any other show has ever won. It really showed how good TV can be.
This show cost a lot to make — $250 million! But it was worth it because it won the big award for Outstanding Drama Series. It beat other great shows like The Crown, Fallout, and The Morning Show.
Shogun has ten episodes and is kind of like Game of Thrones, meaning it’s big and exciting. Most of the actors were from Japan, which was really special.
Spending $250 million on Shogun was a big risk, but it worked out. People loved it!
