Following a Hulu debut bigger than The Bear‘s in March 2024, the final episode of FX’s Shōgun is less than a week away.

The miniseries, which had been in the works since 2016, has been a massive hit for the streamer and network, and with good reason: the 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes should tell you everything you need to know.

Shōgun is adapted from the novel of the same name by James Clavell, and it’s full of power struggles, political intrigue, clandestine love affairs, mysterious strangers, and epic world-building.

Decider’s Meghan O’Keefe describes the show as “a beautiful, brutal gem of a show that celebrates Japanese culture with incredible writing and cinematic visuals.”

There’s always something exciting about a show with weekly releases, especially ones as buzzy as Shōgun — you just can’t beat real-time conversations on social media and in real life as new episodes air. Since the finale is set to air next Tuesday, you only have a few more days to catch up on the show if you want to be a part of the conversation.

Luckily, Hulu has a free trial, so if you’ve been holding out on Shōgun, you won’t have to pay a dime to experience the “dark and dazzling” nature of one of 2024’s best shows (so far).

Hulu offers a 30-day free trial for all new subscribers, so you can catch up on Shōgun and stream next week’s finale before you pay a single penny!

Hulu has two subscription plans, both of which include Shōgun: with ads ($7.99/month) or ad-free ($17.99/month). Once your free month is up, monthly payments will begin, but you can cancel any time before the free trial period ends.

In addition to the episodes as they air on FX, you can stream all episodes with an English dub on Hulu.

Shōgun Episode 10 will drop on Tuesday, April 23 at midnight ET on Hulu. The episode will also air on Tuesday night at 10 p.m. on FX.
