SAG Awards: ‘Shōgun’s’ Hiroyuki Sanada Confesses He’s ‘Always Nervous’! (Exclusive)

“Shōgun” star Hiroyuki Sanada hit the red carpet at the 2025 SAG Awards on Sunday afternoon.
“Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi and Adam Glassman spoke with Hiroyuki, who noted that the success he and the show have experienced feels “like a dream.”
Despite all of “Shōgun” wins at the Emmys, Golden Globes, and Critics Choice Awards, Hiroyuki admitted that he’s still “always nervous” at award shows.
He said, “I could never have imagined really these kinds of things happening.”
The show has been renewed for two more seasons. He dished, “We just finished writing for 10 episodes of Season 2.”
Sanada praised the writers for “working hard,” adding that the cast is aiming to film in the fall or winter.
Later in the night, Hiroyuki won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series for his work on "Shōgun," which he wasn't expecting.
"Extra's" Melvin Robert spoke with Sanada, who commented, "I had a bunch of pressure and didn't expect it at all, so it was a surprise."
He emphasized that it was “so special” to be recognized by his community of fellow actors and gave praise to all his co-workers on the show.
Hiroyuki is having a wonderful night, but what would make it even better? He said, "I want to see and say hi to Mr. Harrison Ford."
Sanada got his wish and eventually met Harrison at the 2025 SAG Awards® Post-Awards Gala hosted by PEOPLE & Audi.
