‘Sons of Anarchy' Creator Kurt Sutter's New Medieval-Inspired Show: ‘Bastards Executioner’s’ New Updates
After six explosive seasons, FX "Sons of Anarchy" is drawing into a close on its seventh and final season. Now that SOA is ending, series creator Kurt Sutter is brewing a new project called "The Bastards Executioner" and is scheduled to be filmed in the U.K.
During his recent interview with Larry King, Sutter revealed that he is planning to cast some of the SOA actors based in U.K.for his new project. According to cartematt.com, "The Bastards Executioner" will begin to shoot its pilot once "Sons of Anarchy" season 7's filming will be concluded.
Also during the interview, Sutter also revealed that he will work with Charlie Hunnam in a heartbeat. Given the fact that the "Crimson Peak" actor can pull off a British Accent and is from the Newscastle, will he cast Hunnam in his new show?
Everybody knows that in the world of pilots there are no assurance whether the new project is going to be a regular show and this time it's up to FX to give Sutter's new baby a green light. If the pilot episode will pick up, the new show will follow "Sons of Anarchy" season 7 next year and given Sutter's reputation on making massive hits his period story is going to be a definite hit.
"For 13 years at FX, starting as a writer and working his way up to an executive producer on The Shield, then as Creator/Executive Producer of Sons Of Anarchy, Kurt has interwoven literary and pulp storytelling within two of the most successful series in cable history," says FX network CEO John Langraff in an interview posted in ibtimes.com.
Sutter is reportedly going to executive produce the new medieval inspired show along with Academy Award-winning producer Brian Grazer. The idea of the show came from Grazer when he pitched the new concept to 20th chairmen Dana Walden and Gary Newman, and after considering it they suggested "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter.
According to Deadline, "" The Bastard Executioner" tells the story of a warrior knight in King Edward III's charge who is broken by the ravages of war and vows to lay down his sword. But when that violence finds him again he is forced to pick up the bloodiest sword of all."
Now that Grazer and Sutter is going to work hand in hand with this new show there is no doubt that "The Bastards Executioner" will be as big as SOA or even more. "Kurt and Brian together will be unstoppable," says Walden and Newman.
"Sons of Anarchy" season 7 is scheduled to start on September.
