Starz has signed on to air a new series that stars Patrick Stewart as an alcohol-loving, mad-genius news anchor. Titled Blunt Talk, the show will be produced by Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) and written by Jonathan Ames (creator of HBO series Bored to Death). Stewart will portray Walter Blunt, a British newscaster with his sights set on conquering the US cable news industry. In the character of Walter Blunt, Seth, Jonathan and Patrick have found the alchemy that makes a borderline alcoholic, mad-genius-Brit the man you want fighting in America’s corner, said Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said.
