Brett Gelman, Brian Baumgartner, Angela Kinsey, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel, Moby, Fred Armisen, Jason Schwartzman, Stephen Tobolowsky, and more are set to come into the life of Walter Blunt in season 2 of Starz’s Blunt Talk.
See so for yourself in this montage and then catch the season premiere on Sunday, October 2nd.
Sir Patrick Stewart is returning as a cavalier news anchor very soon as season 2 of Starz’s Blunt Talk is set to premiere on Sunday, October 2nd.
This new trailer shows that, while season 1 got unhinged, season 2 will probably one-up that and then some.
The most outlandish Sir Patrick Stewart that you’ve probably seen returns to television as season 2 of Starz’s Blunt Talk is set to premiere in October.
It’s awhile, but it just might be worth the wait.
For now, you’ll have to just see what they’ve got in store for Stewart as Walter Blunt with this teaser.
Make sure you have Starz tonight.
With the forces of Jonathan Ames, Seth MacFarlane, and Sir Patrick Stewart combined, we will all get the darkly comedic cable news show Blunt Talk starting tonight at 9PM on Starz.
One of the best parts of this is that it doesn’t interfere with any of the four comedy specials also premiering tonight.
If you’ve really been pining to see more of the comedic Sir Patrick Stewart, you won’t have to wait around until next weekend.
The Jonathan Ames created, Seth MacFarlane produced Blunt Talk starring Stewart isn’t set to premiere until Sat. Aug. 22nd 9PM on Starz.
However, Starz was nice enough to let us all preview two episodes a week before.
You can watch both of them right here.
Jonathan Ames and Seth MacFarlane’s Blunt Talk looks more and more like a much more fun version of The Newsroom that seems to have less rants and more of Sir Patrick Stewart really, really living it up.
He might even be overdoing it.
Watch the latest trailer here, then watch the premiere on Aug. 22nd at 9PM on Starz.
If you wish there was less histrionic ranting and more fun had with The Newsroom, this might be for you.
The only other time that Sir Patrick Stewart seems as off the wall as he will be in the new Starz’s series Blunt Talk from Jonathan Ames and Seth MacFarlane was his great appearance in a Colbert Report bit.
Just check him as a cable news anchor going about the gig like a veteran rock star in this trailer.

One of this upcoming TV season’s most intriguing new shows is Showtime’s Blunt Talk. Not only does it have Seth MacFarlane and Jonathan Ames coming together to make a show about a Brit trying to take on American cable news, but Patrick Stewart is starring.
To make matters more intriguing, the entire cast will now include Jackie Weaver, Ed Begley Jr., Adian Scarborough, Mary Holland, Romany Malco, and Karan Soni.
There are so many different elements at work here, with the fantastic people in front of and behind the camera, but this could very well be a “Veep” of cable news.
One of the more intriguing series to come down the pipeline from Starz has to be Blunt Talk, which has Sir Patrick Stewart take a comedic turn in a series created by Jonathan Ames and executive produced by Seth MacFarlane.
Startz has already ordered two seasons of the series last year, which makes it’s premiere more enticing than it already is. A teaser was just released to further tantalized us all.
Here’s the plot summary from IMDB:
British newscaster Walter Blunt [Patrick Stewart] comes to Los Angeles, intent on conquering the world of American cable TV. Through the platform of a nightly interview show, Blunt is on a mission to impart his wisdom and guidance on how Americans should live, think and behave. Unfortunately, Blunt is constantly harassed by interfering network bosses, a dysfunctional news staff, and his numerous ex-wives and children. Blunt must now deal with the fallout from his well-intended but misguided actions, both on and off the air, with only an alcoholic manservant at his side.
So, we’re thinking this falls somewhere in the realm of The Newsroom meets Veep and thus we’ll be looking excitedly for a full trailer, hopefully soon.
