Per THR, Starz has cancelled Blunt Talk after two seasons. The Patrick Stewart live-action comedy will not move forward into Season 3.
The premium cable network gave birth the to series with a two-season 20-episode order. However, the Dec. 11 Season 2 finale will now serve as the series finale.
Carmi Zlotnik, Starz programming president, said of the axing:
“We are grateful to Jonathan and Patrick for the tirades and laughs that Walter Blunt delivered to fans with such aplomb. While Walter may not be returning to the airwaves, we are incredibly proud of the work that was done these past two seasons by our wonderful partners and collaborators on Blunt Talk, from Seth Macfarlane and our studio MRC, to our actors, writers and crew. It was a very special show with a heartfelt message. It was an honor serving you, Major.”
RIP.

Horrible show.. Patrick Stewart is NOT funny… and whomever decided Jackie Weaver could play a desirable woman should have been fired along with Weaver immediately… just considering the fact that Weaver looks 70 years old — forget that she’s 3ft tall and has a voice Jim Henson would have loved for a muppet. Weaver is about as “desirable? as Stewart is “funny” — great combination for a drastically non-humorous situation “comedy”.
