Kurt Sutter’s last TV series on FX, Sons of Anarchy, was a big ratings success for the cable channel and ran for seven seasons. Will his new show, The Bastard Executioner, be a hit as well? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
A medieval drama set in 14th century Wales, The Bastard Executioner follows Wilkin Brattle (Lee Jones). He was a Knight during King Edward the First’s reign and is a deeply spiritual man. He wants to settle down and live the quiet life of a farmer but it’s not to be. The rest of the cast includes Stephen Moyer, Matthieu Charneau, Katey Sagal, Flora Spencer-Longhurst, Kurt Sutter, Sam Spruell, Darren Evans, Danny Sapani, Timothy V. Murphy, Sarah White, Sarah Sweeny, Ethan Griffiths, and Ross O’Hennessy.

What do you think? Do you like The Bastard Executioner TV show? Do you think that it should be renewed for a second season?
Stop this show and give the money to shows like idiot survival, super teenager, ncis Washington or all other f#@%& show that bloody idiots love to watch.
Excellent show, too bad some people tuned to see a “Mid Evil” SOA…Instead of embracing a new gift from Kurt Sutter and his talented group of story tellers. I do not understand why people are afraid to open themselves up to something new and beautifully displayed for our entertainment… I do hope we get more seasons of this beautifully filmed show.
Renew Sutter has a story to tell and its worth a wait to get the good stuff
Please bring the Bastar d Executioner BACK I was hooked since the 1st episode, I absolutely fell in love with the story. It is an amazing show I need to know what happens !!!!!!!! It’s just the beginning give it sometime it will hit with audiences, their are plenty of shows that have done that, start good fall a little but come back even stronger.
Please please renew The ******* Executioner!! I absolutely love this series. Even have my son-in-law hooked. It’s hard to find good historical shows worth watching. It does need more advertising and/or promoting and I think you would see the ratings go up a lot further. I definitely gets my vote for many more seasons!!
I think this is one of the best new shows on television. I can hardly wait for Tuesday nights. The characters are great and the storyline is compelling. It is fun to sink into the medieval world and learn about history as well. Great show. I hope it gets renewed.
Sadly the ratings have been dropping and i dont understand why…the story and following relationships keeps me wanting more. If viewers are not happy with the violence, read your history books– it was no walk in the park! And stop comparing to game of thrones! Sutter’s writing is amazing and i am really hoping fx renews and has a season 2!!
Dhitto. Awesome show and can go in many ways. I hope FX keeps this show for a while.
FX…Please keep this show alive! I love everything about it. This show has so many different directions it could go in and I want the chance to see it evolve. I didn’t watch SOA, but Kurt Sutter obviously has plenty of talent based on what I’ve seen with ******* Executioner. I really hope you give it a fair chance….
This show is terrable, cancel it and get something worth watching.
Prefer The Last Kingdom..great show.
Yes me too. This is a tease, just have crazy & stupids characters, except Annora.
Please keep this show going! It is bringing an unknown age alive. I know these were brutal times with brutal Overlords over the Welsh. Kudos for this! Anyone who doesn’t like or get this can go back to that little bit of fluff about the future Mary, Queen of Scots.
YES please renew for another season! I hope there are many more. I absolutely love this show. It’s my favorite genre and there aren’t many like it. It has just the right amount of everything! The plot is rich and evolving just like the characters. Outstanding talent
Yes by all means renew, needs more promotions
Love it !!
The Bastar d Executioner is not working, that´s a fact. Just take a look to the ratings. The plot is heavy, and the best character are right now destroyed. the series based in the medieval Agews are welcome, but just when they´re good written. Sutter is beating the dust with this boring show where just the freak charactes bright. is repulsive.
