It is highly doubtful that there will be a season 2 because Clavell never returned to write about the Edo period or Blackthorne. So any Season 2 would be a completely new fabrication, and this production cost beaucoup bucks. An investment not likely to be made on a new work of fiction. Maybe if Clavell were still alive to provide artistic direction and executive oversight for the script writing, but very doubtful. This is a miniseries to cover one novel. Sorry.

What you are missing from the Mariko arc is that in the novel, Blackthorne and Mariko were lovers for months. Gin and Kiku were traveling with them as 'chaperones'. Mariko hid their affair from the guards but didn't bother guarding against Kiku or Gin finding out. Because all the ladies knew that Mariko could have them all killed simply by claiming these women of low birth were slandering her good name, and their heads would be off before they could protest their innocence because peasant life is not valued. And no one would mount a legal protest because Mariko would be seen in the right. Gin freaks out literally the whole trip over this fact, and Kiku has to both service her clients AND calm down her mama-san. But Mariko came to point in the novel where she admits that she HAS chosen Blackthorne over her husband, her duty, even Toranaga. Mariko has been touched by love of the western sort, and she has to wrestle with it up until her actual seppuku. As for "who was she announcing this to?" In the novel, there were a lot of noble ladies who came to witness for Mariko, and who spent the night, and who took shelter with them. A couple committed seppuku right after the explosion when the guards came to add their deaths to her protest and prevent it from being kept quiet., These were very noble ladies. It fixed the scandal iun public awareness, but the adaptation minimized her audience.
