Starz has released a new teaser for "Blunt Talk", giving a sneak peek at the new comedy series. The show centers on Patrick Stewart's Walter Blunt, a British import intent on conquering the world of American cable news.

However, his intention is often tainted by his well-intentioned, but mostly misguided decision-making, both on and off the air. In the video, he is seen snorting cocaine, getting high while being on-air, and getting into trouble with police.

Through the platform of his nightly cable news 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.

The half-hour scripted comedy was created by Jonathan Ames, who also executive produces the series along with Seth MacFarlane. Jacki Weaver, Adrian Scarborough, Dolly Wells and Timm Sharp round out the cast.

The show has received two-season order, each of which consists of 10 episodes, from Starz. The first season will premiere sometime this summer.
