The first trailer has arrived online for Blunt Talk, the upcoming live-action comedy series from STARZ and executive producer Seth MacFarlane, which sees Patrick Stewart as Walter Blunt, a British newsman looking to make it in the world of American cable news. Check it out below…
Set in Los Angeles, the story follows Walter Blunt, a British import intent on conquering the world of American cable news and the fallout from his well-intentioned, but mostly misguided decision-making, both on and off the air. Through the platform of his nightly interview show, Blunt is on a mission to impart his wisdom and guidance on how Americans should live, think and behave. Besieged by network bosses, a dysfunctional news staff, numerous ex-wives and children of all ages, Blunt’s only support is the alcoholic manservant he transplanted from the U.K. to join him in Los Angeles.
