Plot Synopsis

Created by Kurt Sutter, THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER is a medieval epic that tells the story of Wilkin Brattle, a 14th-century warrior knight in the charge of King Edward I, and how his 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 Ventris, Wilkin struggles to navigate political, emotional and supernal pitfalls in his quest to understand his greater purpose. FX debuted the two-hour series premiere, written by Sutter and directed by Paris Barclay, on Tuesday, September 15, 2015 from 10pm-Midnight ET/PT.
