The creator of "Sons of Anarchy" is getting ready for his next move.

For more than a decade now, Kurt Sutter has been something of a major star in the FX brand, helming projects like "Sons of Anarchy" and "The Shield," both of which featured raw, gritty themes that audiences fell in love with.

Sutter has been quite apt at creating an anti-hero, as evidenced by "Sons" Jax Teller and "Shield's" Vic Mackey.

But now that "Sons of Anarchy" has ended its critically acclaimed run, according to Variety, the TV producer is now bringing a new show to the network that has famously featured all of this gritty content. The new show is titled "The Bastard Executioner," which is a time period piece and will star "Trueblood's" Stephen Moyer in a leading role.

Sutter has once again cast his real-life wife, Katey Sagal, who played Gemma Teller on "Sons of Anarchy."

"The Bastard Executioner" has been given a 10-episode order by the FX network, which also features other shows known for the gritty anti-hero theme, including "Justified" and "Nip/Tuck." Sutter has written the pilot for the new series and will serve as producer, director and even as a minor starring role.

He previously also starred in "Sons of Anarchy" as Otto, the imprisoned SAMCRO brother.

The new show will be set in the Late Middle Ages and will be about a man who has tired himself from the exploits of war. He returns with an executioner weapon in what appears to be a gritty take on the period.

Lee Jones will be playing the titular role of Wilkin Brattle who is a warrior knight in King Edward I's royal charge.

Sutter spoke with Variety about the upcoming series.

"I love history. I love theology. I love blood. It's been very satisfying weaving fact and fiction to create a new mythology that combines all these elements," Sutter told Variety. "And with this extraordinary cast -- Stephen Moyer, Katey Sagal and newcomer, Lee Jones -- this world explodes on screen. I love working with FX and Fox21TVS. They've been my family for 15 years. They not only tolerate me, they embrace my extremely disturbing storytelling sensibilities."

FX CEO John Landgraf also spoke with Variety about Sutter and the expected success of the new show.

"From his important contributions to 'The Shield' to his epic run on 'Sons of Anarchy,' Kurt has been one of FX's most visionary artists, and we are proud to get him back on the air so soon after the unquestionable success of 'Sons,'" Landgraf told Variety.

Fox Television Group CEO Gary Newman said Sutter's new series "is dangerous, brilliant, emotional and undeniable," referring to the gritty theme so inherent to the network, which Sutter has helped etch out a niche for on cable television.
