Kurt Sutter’s next FX drama project has added an actress who will be familiar to fans of Sutter’s acclaimed series “Sons of Anarchy.” Deadline.com reports that Sutter’s wife, Katey Sagal, has joined the cast of Sutter’s upcoming series, “The Bastard Executioner.”

Sagal, who became a household name with her 11-season run on the Fox comedy “Married with Children” in the 1980s and ’90s, finally became a Golden Globe winner in 2011 for “Sons” — after four nominations in the early 1990s for “Married with Children” without a win. Her tour de force performance as hot-headed biker mama Gemma on “Sons” solidified her reputation as both a critical darling and a fan favorite.

The new FX project is about a warrior knight serving in the time of King Edward III, who vows to stop fighting but is forced to pick up his sword again, the story adds.
