The trailer shows Lee Jones, who plays lead Wilkin Brattle, holding up a sword, then spying a pile of dead bodies, on his way into the village (or so it seems).
“There’s nothing more dangerous than a Welshman who has nothing to lose.”
Stephen Moyer (playing Miles Corbett) greets him:
“Welcome Executioner.”
The video is only 30 seconds so of course, I am dying for more. I look forward to the many many more videos to come before the season premiere.
Bastard Executioner tells the story of a warrior knight in King Edward I’s charge who is broken by the ravages of war and vows to lay down his sword. When that violence finds him again, however, he’s forced to pick up the bloodiest sword of all.
