New Starz comedy Blunt Talk is making its debut online before its official premiere date. The series, which stars Patrick Stewart and Jacki Weaver, is now available on multiple platforms, including Starz.com and Facebook.

The show focuses on Walter Blunt, a British TV news anchor whose ego and behavior aren’t so camera-appropriate (think snorting coke and other debauchery), but make for some great R-rated humor. Starz is so confident in the show it has already committed to two seasons. Of course, the creative team behind it certainly must have helped make the decision; it comes from creator Jonathan Ames and will be executive produced by Seth MacFarlane, Fuzzy Door Prods, Tristram Shapeero, Stephanie Davis, and Ames.

Stewart is clearly excited about the early release, captioning the video on Facebook, “Waiting is over. Here it is! The premiere episode of Blunt Talk is streaming now! My character Walter Blunt’s behavior is a little embarrassing in this episode, but I am proud of the show.”

Stewart also tweeted the news, directing fans to Starz to get an early start on the series.

The decision to make Blunt Talk available for free streaming on social media was likely inspired by a rival premium network. HBO partnered with Facebook to show Ballers and The Brink on the social network just days after their June 21 premieres. Ballers, in particular, benefited from the move; the first episode was posted on star Dwayne Johnson’s page, which had almost 50 million followers at the time.

Blunt Talk‘s first two episodes are available for streaming now. The sitcom premieres on Starz on August 22 at 9 p.m. EDT (8 p.m. CDT).

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
