Earlier this year we got a first look at the upcoming Starz comedy Blunt Talk, and now a longer and better look at the show has been released. Blunt Talk comes from Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane and Bored to Death creator Jonathan Ames, and stars Patrick Stewart as Walter Blunt, "a British import intent on conquering the world of American cable news." The series will follow "the fallout from Blunt’s well-intentioned, but mostly misguided decision-making, both on and off the air."
This time around there's some actual footage from the series, and it looks to be a very fun ride. I mean, how can a show go wrong when it has Patrick Stewart as a news anchor with a slight drug and alcohol problem?
"Why is he sniffing like that?"
A premiere date hasn't been announced yet, but the series will debut this summer, and Starz must feel pretty confident about their new show since the network has ordered Blunt Talk for two seasons. Patrick Stewart's Neo-Nazi thriller GREEN ROOM is expected to hit theaters sometime in 2015.
