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?
No my husband and I love this show!! My son and daughter I. Law comer over every week And watch it with us!!! No please don’t cancel it!!
My whole family loved the show. We couldn’t wait for season 2!!!. We are very disappointed fx decided to cancel. We’re all hoping they reconsider. Cast was great!!!!
Please renew
Why, oh why! I love the show so much. There are too many shows with hospital ER and criminal investigations, and Bastar d Executioner has an original script with great characters. Really disappointing news.
Of course this show would be cancelled! Anytime you get hooked on a show and can’t wait for the next episode it gets dropped from the line up. Keep it going and RENEW it for next season….PLEASE!!!!!
You suck!!! FX
Cancelled??? This is bullsh**! what a disappointment, please think about this again. You must do a second season.
Yes i believe should make a second season of the bastar d executioner it was a outstanding tv show my family got into and i well we would hate it to end without knowing what happens in the end and u have always loved kurts tv shows especially sons of anarchy i believe the bastar d executioner was great just like soa
I loved the show. I told SOA fans to check it out, because it was like a medieval Sons…..with horses, chainmail and swords, instead of bikes, leather and guns. Great story line, characters and costumes. Looks like nobody listened to me. Shame! I will be adding it to my SOA collection, though. Thank you, Kurt. I appreciated your vision! Dana, PA.
Renew the bastar d executioner!!!!! Kurt Sutter is amazing and the cast is phenomenal! I love it! Give it another chance!
Thought this show was very entertaining enjoyed the plots and twists will be sad to see it end
THEY SHOULD KEEP BASTAR D EXECUTIONER ON THE AIR! GREAT SHOW
I think they should keep the series going! I absolutely LOVE THE SHOW! They should have more advertising about it to get the ratings up. I going to be very disappointed if it’s cancelled.
I am not happy about canceling this show
The Bastar d Executioner.
