Kurt Sutter made history at FX with "Sons of Anarchy," his outlaw motorcycle saga that became the most popular series for the cable network and drew worshipful praise from millions of fans.
Sutter is back making history at FX, but he's in a whole different time zone: His new series is "The Bastard Executioner," an epic set in medieval times that couldn't be more different from "Sons of Anarchy" in look and feel.
But as with his previous series, Sutter said the backdrop, which is flavored with violence and messy intrigue, will be grounded in the same DNA: characters and relationships.
