Season 2 and 3 announced.

Of course, gotta milk even more money out of it. Ugh.

Pleased to hear it👍

Prepare for nonbinary LGBTQ Samourais and 'colored', formerly oppressed Japanese natives turning heroes!

I'll be amazed if this is any good. I've noticed something with sequels over the course of my life. If a property is adapted from pre-existing material, and there is more of that to adapt, the sequels can be good. It's why the James Bond series worked; the first several films were very close adaptations of the Ian Fleming novels, and by the time they started to go their own way, the series had become established, and they had plenty of time to come up with new story ideas, so it wasn't rushed to get something out before the demand had passed. The Godfather Part II was so good because half of it was from parts of Puzo's original novel that hadn't been adapted for the first film. The original Star Wars trilogy was all dreamed up, in basic outline at least, before filming on the first movie started, so there was a vision for where the trilogy would go.

Really, the one exception I can think of to this rule is Terminator 2. The original Terminator wasn't meant to have a sequel. But it was a success, and so they made one, and it was, unusually, even better than the first film.

But the vast majority of the time, when a standalone story is so successful the studio wants a sequel, the film's or series's creators, who didn't plan one, have to come up with something. And because there was no vision for a continued story, and because they're under the pressure of time to strike while the iron is still hot, it's almost always greatly inferior. James Clavell never wrote a sequel to the novel Shogun. He wrote other stories, set centuries later, set in the same historical continuity, but no direct sequel. And without a good story to adapt, I think the sequel series will disappoint people when it comes out.
