Seth Macfarlane has a new movie "A Million Ways to Die in the West" hitting theaters on May 30, and it looks like the busy actor/director/writer has another project already up his sleeve. According to Variety, Starz has given a two-season, 20-episode order to a comedy sitcom from MacFarlane and writer Jonathan Ames called "Blunt Talk." "Blunt Talk" will star Patrick Stewart, who will play a British newscaster, Walter Blunt, who comes to America to conquer cable news. "Blunt Talk" will be produced by Media Rights Capital, who also worked with Macfarlane on "A Million Ways," and will premiere next year.

"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. Seth and Jonathan have struck the right balance between biting wit and outright absurdity in building this world, and we cannot wait for Patrick to breathe life into Walter," said Starz CEO Chris Albrecht.

"We have wanted to work with Chris Albrecht for years. His instinct for character-driven series is unparalleled and he is not afraid to push the boundaries," said Modi Wiczyk, co-CEO of Media Rights Capital to Variety.

Ames previously created the HBO comedy "Bored to Death." Stewart has worked with MacFarlane in the past as a character voice on the Fox toon "American Dad."

"It's been a delight to collaborate on 'Blunt Talk' with two such talented and strange men as Seth MacFarlane and Patrick Stewart," writer Ames said. "The only problem is that sometimes on conference calls Seth will uncannily recreate Patrick's voice, and I'm not sure who's talking, but other than that it's been smooth sailing."

Clearly Macfarlane has a lot of projects up his sleeve, though he denies that he's a mogul... yet. "I'm not a mogul. Not yet," MacFarlane said in an interview with Variety. "I think Jeffrey Katzenberg is a mogul. I'm just a guy with a bunch of shit going on."
