Walter Blunt has signed off for the last time: Starz has cancelled "Blunt Talk" after two seasons,TVLine has confirmed.

The Patrick Stewart-led comedy, from Jonathan Ames (Bored to Death) and Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy), received a straight-to-series, two-season order in 2015. Its Dec. 11 Season 2 finale will now be its series finale.



In a statement obtained by TVLine, Starz president of programming Carmi Zlotnik thanked Stewart and Ames for the two-season run.

“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.”

Patrick Stewart was an acclaimed stage actor for many years, but it was TV that made him a star. His role as Captain Jean Luc-Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation has endeared him to sci-fi fans across the world.

Since then, he has lent his golden touch to a variety of projects, including the X-Men movie franchise, as well as many cameos on animated comedy series, including Robot Chicken and Family Guy.

Stewart re-teamed with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane for the live-action TV comedy Blunt Talk, which featured Stewart as a bumbling British newscaster who tries to break into the American market.

Not even Stewart and MacFarlane’s combined talents could salvage a show that tried too hard to be edgy. While it was fun watching such a cultured actor use blue humor and engage in shocking behavior, it never felt fully realized.

Ugh this still hurts! Blunt Talk was so funny
