The two-hour debut of The Bastard Executioner will air on September 15 on FX at 10 PM.
The epic medieval series tells the story of Wilkin Brattle (newcomer Lee Jones), a 14th century warrior, whose life is forever changed when a divine messenger beseeches him to lay down his sword and lead the life of another man: a journeyman executioner.
Set in northern Wales during a time rife with rebellion and political upheaval, Wilkin must walk a tight rope between protecting his true identity while also serving a mysterious destiny. Guided by Annora, a mystical healer whose seeming omniscience keeps Wilkin under her sway; manipulated by Milus Corbett, a devious Chamberlain with grand political aspirations; and driven by a deepening connection with the Baroness Lady Love, Wilkin struggles to navigate political, emotional and supernal pitfalls in his quest to understand his greater purpose.
The cast includes Katey Sagal (Sons of Anarchy) and Stephen Moyer (True Blood) [among others].
Here is a trailer for The Bastard Executioner.
