The official logline reads, "When a mysterious European ship is found marooned in a nearby fishing village, its English pilot, John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), comes bearing secrets that could help Toranaga tip the scales of power and devastate the formidable influence of Blackthorne's own enemies — the Jesuit priests and Portuguese merchants. Toranaga's and Blackthorne's fates become inextricably tied to their translator, Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai), a mysterious Christian noblewoman and the last of a disgraced line. While serving her lord amidst this fraught political landscape, Mariko must reconcile her newfound companionship with Blackthorne, her commitment to the faith that saved her and her duty to her late father."

Looks great, and stacked cast.

Really hope they avoid the standard white saviour pitfalls though.

I loved this book, but yes, definitely a lot of white knighting going on in it upon reflection. Hoping it turns out great and can steer away from it!

While at home for the holiday, my mom was raving about how much she loved the original 1980 NBC miniseries.

Really looking forward to this one.
