No Season 2 for the freshman drama.
November 18, 2015
FX has cancelled The Bastard Executioner after one season. Showrunner Kurt Sutter announced the news this morning by placing ads in the Hollywood trades, thanking the cast and crew after confirming that the series would not return for a second season.
Sutter cited a lukewarm reception from viewers as the reason for the show ending. Its premiere episode drew moderate ratings, but its numbers failed to see growth over the course of its 10-episode run.

Well, to be honest it wasn't a perfect show , but it had alot of promise -story wise- , but i guess it was taking the time slot of yet another COP show , cuz we all know the world needs another FBI - CIA - PD type show to get renewed for 6 seasons.

Heartbroken ... it was such a good show ... my liking a show though is pretty much its death knell. I loved the theme song ..so haunting ...and went so well with the story line. Well written, well acted ... felt like someone kicked me in the stomach when I heard it was cancelled ...

The show had great premise. It was just sloppy and hard to watch. It indeed needed it's own executioner!

well it was a good show. but it was a drama, with violence and not a action show. Which I like but many didn't give it a chance. RIP, there's never enough historical shows on.

So disappointed to see this cancellation!! This was a great show. Probably would have done better in front of a Syfy channel audience. I disagree that this show was trying to be like GOT. 😢

I liked the show. I guess all people want are shows like Blue Bloods and other crap shows like it that are always renewed season after boring season.

I watched the first 5 episodes and just could not enjoy it at all. The first episode was boring but since I quit game of thrones halfway through the first episode. Then bored with nothing else on my dvr I finished it. It's just character build up trying to make fans have an attachment to them. I had become hooked and watched all the way to the season 2 finale. I hoped the bastard executioner would be the same but it wasn't. It stayed slow and boring. Sry to fans for your loss but it leaves room for another hit series like SOA or justified.

I like Kurt and his shows, but this one was not that good so I'm not surprised. He was trying to cash in on the whole Game of Thrones vibe and it just didn't work. And the theme song was HORRIBLE.

Not surprised. I only saw the first episode and it was incredibly boring. Too much going on and the acting was bad.
