Shōgunhas forever etched its name on television history with a record-breaking victory at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, by winning the most Emmys for a single season! The FX series dives into the political complexities of feudal Japan and it has not only impressed the viewers but also dominated the award circuit.
After its record-setting achievements, netizens are taking notice of the astronomical production cost that went into creating such high-caliber content. Even though high-budget and quality content are not synonymous, it does allow the creators to explore their imaginations to their fullest extent.
Shōgun’sHistoric Emmy Triumph
According toreportsfrom Sfgate,Shōgunhas been confirmed to have won 14 Emmys at the Creative Emmy Awards in categories such as costumes, makeup, editing, stunts, and cinematography. Additionally, Néstor Carbonell was awarded for being the Best Guest Actor in a Drama which further portrays the show’s extensive range of technical and artistic achievements.
The success at the Creative Arts Emmy has set the stage for the Primetime Emmy Awards, the main prestigious event whereShōgunhas impressed everyone with 25 nominations. These include major categories like Outstanding Drama Series, Best Dramatic Actor forHiroyuki Sanada, and Best Dramatic Actress forAnna Sawai.
Shōgun’sBudget and Financial Comparisons
The monumental success ofShōguncame with an overwhelming budget of seemingly $250 million, as perFreaking News, which was invested in creating an intricate story with a detailed recreation of historical Japan. This vast budget places the show among the most expensive TV productions, but it is still less than some of the most high-profile shows.
As perVariety,Deadpool & Wolverinewhich marked the debut ofRyan Renoldsto the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had a budget of approximately $200 million. An additional $100 million was allocated to marketing which made the total a whopping $300 million. This makesShōgun$50 million less expensive but it still managed to create content that competes with blockbuster films.
As of now, the most high-budget TV show according toColliderisThe Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerwhich spent more than $465 million for its first season alone. Season 4 ofStranger Thingscost about $270 million, whereas the final season ofGame of Thronesapproximated $90 million for six episodes. SoShōgunis indeed a top contender in terms of high production value, but slightly behind the highest expenditures in television history.
The success ofShōgunwith 14 Emmy wins, highlights the escalating competition within the television industry. With a budget of $250 million, it shows how high-quality television content requires huge financial investments, similar to blockbuster films. As the boundaries between television and film slowly blur, both mediums will likely keep increasing their investments to deliver groundbreaking hits.
