> Kurt Sutter’s medieval drama series has been canceled after only one season. 
> 
> The expensive series (for a basic cable network, at least) delivered low ratings and was roundly trounced by critics (EW gave it a C-grade <http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/14/the-bastard-executioner-ew-review>). 
> 
> Sutter claimed credit <http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/kurt-sutter-cancels-bastard-executioner-841296?utm_source=twitter> for ending his show in a trade ad, the Sons of Anarchy creator noting, “I don’t want to write something that nobody’s f—ing watching.”
> 
> The Bastard Executioner is a rare example of an FX drama only lasting one season. The channel has previously renewed modestly rated dramas like Tyrant and The Strain.
> 
> Sutter is also developing a spin-off for Anarchy about the Mayans <http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/26/sons-anarchy-spinoff-mayans> motorcycle club. 
> 
> Bastard Executioner was set in 14th century Wales and followed a Welsh knight (Lee Jones).
