7. The Bastard Executioner
How do you make historical fantasy even darker than Game of Thrones? If anyone is up for that challenge, it’s Kurt Sutter. The creator of Sons of Anarchy tackles this new drama, set in the 14th century, shortly after the Welsh rebellion. A former knight, his courage broken by his experiences in war, has vowed never to fight again. But when his village comes under attack, he has to take up the deadliest weapon of them all, the massive sword of an executioner.
Expect plenty of violence and blood with a cast that includes Sutter’s wife, Katey Segal, as well as some noted European actors. The trailers promise a lot of dark story but with some flair, providing a fresh new take on a familiar genre.
