TV show description:      

This TV series is a gritty and bloodthirsty medieval drama set in 14th century Wales during a time of English rule. Creator Kurt Sutter draws heavily from history. With the country suffering from the legacy of the black death and the Crusades, daily life is a ritual of violence and poverty.

The ruthless and ambitious Milus Corbett (Stephen Moyer) is a courtier appointed by the crown to govern the region. Mercilessly taxing the communities as he seeks to gain favor, he employs Baron Ventris...

Wilson Brattle (Lee Jones) can now beat his sword into a plowshare, since there will not be a second season of The Bastard Executioner TV show. FX has cancelled the Tuesday night drama after one season of ten episodes.

According to Deadline, creator Kurt Sutter, who also plays the Dark Mute character, knew the 14th century period drama would not return for season two, when he filmed the season one and series finale.

Deadline reports Sutter took out ads (below) in the trades, to thank the cast, crew, and the network. Said cast includes: Jones, Sutter, Stephen Moyer, Matthieu Charneau, Katey Sagal, Flora Spencer-Longhurst, Sam Spruell, Darren Evans, Danny Sapani, Timothy V.
