Whether he’s on the bridge of the USS Enterprise as Capt. Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation, leading heroic mutants as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films, or performing on the classical stage, Sir Patrick Stewart is an imposing presence, bringing gravitas and authority to his roles. Providing the voices of Stonecutter Number One on The Simpsons and CIA deputy director Avery Bullock on American Dad!, and guest-starring as a slightly off-kilter version of himself on Ricky Gervais’ Extras, Stewart proved he can take that gravitas and flip it on its head.

Stewart makes his biggest flip yet starring in the new Starz liveaction comedy series Blunt Talk, playing nightly cable news show host Walter Blunt, a Brit who uses his platform — imagine Piers Morgan Live by way of FOX News Channel — to proselytize on how Americans should think, feel and act. Meanwhile, his own life is filled with neuroses, drugs, alcohol, fetishes and just generally poor decisions on both personal and professional fronts.

The creative engine of Blunt Talk is showrunner Jonathan Ames (Bored to Death), who adroitly blends the astute with the absurd. “Jonathan Ames is a wonderful screenwriter, but he is also a brilliant novelist,” Stewart says. “You have a man with a very rich knowledge of the arts, of movies and literature and drama, and it’s something that he draws on without really attracting too much attention to them. ... I hope people will have fun connecting those references and maybe asking, ‘Where exactly does Blunt Talk fit into a reference about the great Spanish film director [Luis] Buñuel?’” Stewart says. “I like that there is a high level of thoughtfulness and of intellect behind what is going on.”

Blunt Talk isn’t all highfalutin conceit, however. The bathroom humor is taken quite literally in a particularly funny scene in which Stewart has a prolonged struggle with automatic fixtures in an airport restroom. “I was a little scared of that scene,” Stewart recalls. “Verbal comedy, repartee, that’s something that I’m familiar and comfortable with. Physical comedy, on the other hand, is not. … All I did was follow the stage direction in the script, and be as serious about the problem as I was serious about my desire to make in Extras a movie about a chap who can make all women’s clothes fall off. The more serious you are, the funnier it can become.”

1. Fear the Walking Dead

NEW SERIES!

AMC’s long-awaited companion series to its zombie megahit The Walking Dead follows the newly blended household of guidance counselor Madison (Kim Dickens, House of Cards) and her English-teacher partner Travis (Cliff Curtis, Gang Related) as they try to cement their family amid a strange epidemic that’s making the neighbors act a lot less friendly. “We wanted to explore that four- or five-week time frame where Rick was asleep and allow the audience to see the events that would lead up to the disintegration of society — and specifically to use the backdrop of a major city as things begin to fall apart,” says showrunner Dave Erickson.

Hot Swap In the comedy Hot Pursuit, director Anne Fletcher loved the dynamic of stars Reese Witherspoon and Sofía Vergara, who were acting against their usual roles. “It’s something of a modern-day female Odd Couple sort of buddy comedy, with Reese Witherspoon playing the wild and crazy one and Sofía Vergara playing the straight man — or in this case, woman. But Reese’s cop is so normal she’s a little off, and Sofía’s trophy mob wife is a lot more resourceful than she seems.”

A Real Bang In the first film of the Divergent series, the firearms used were mostly props.

But for Insurgent, director Robert Schwentke insisted on the real thing. “Robert wanted his guns to actually fire,” reveals production designer Alec Hammond.

“He wanted to see the recoil, the muzzle flash and the shells ejecting. We redesigned the weapons from scratch based on existing weapons systems, and we had casings made that fit onto real firearms.”

TV Entertainment Project Runway

SEASON PREMIERE!

Budding designers vie to dress America and to impress host Heidi Klum, mentor and cohost Tim Gunn, and judges Nina Garcia and Zac Posen in Season 14 of the fashion competition.

Gunn reveals that this season’s contestants are “particularly diverse,” which has led Garcia to lament, “I wish they could be more sophisticated.” Gunn gently retorts, “They’re not.

It’s not who they are as designers. They’re not sophisticated and they’re not going to be and that’s not who their customer is. They have an entirely different niche and their muse is someone entirely different. For me — especially coming up from many years of teaching — that’s perfectly valid.”

SEASON PREMIERE!

SERIES FINALE!

Mel panics when she gets news that will directly affect her Senate run. Meanwhile, Ryder gets his orders from the Navy, and Lennox and Zander have a change of heart after they almost die in a car crash. Series star and executive producer Melissa Joan Hart reveals that she’s happy with how the series ends after four seasons. “The writers did a fabulous job of tying up the loose ends of the series. The audience has a really clear idea of where the characters are going in the future.”

The actress also admits, “This character’s been my favorite character I’ve ever played. It’s such a blessing to get to know her, and play her and embody her.”
