The End of Shōgun and the Beginning of a Thrilling Emmys Race

The hottest new series of the year so far, Shōgun concluded its epic run on Hulu this past week with a stellar finale. Vanity Fair TV correspondent Joy Press joins the show to discuss how the FX series’ many merits—from its intricate detailing of 17th century Japanese customs to its striking cinematography—have positioned it as an Emmys front-runner, and how the rest of the limited-series field is taking an unusually exciting shape. Plus, Richard and David unpack the sexy new tennis film, Challengers, in theaters Friday.
