Seth MacFarlane is right now in between contracts with 20th Century FOX, but just because we haven’t heard anything about a re-up that will see the continued production of Seth MacFarlane shows like Family Guy doesn’t mean the creator is sitting on his laurels. As a matter of fact, it’s quite the opposite, as he just got a new live-action comedy picked up at Starz with Patrick Stewart as its star. Interestingly enough, when the press release got out, Patrick spoke highly of his role as ”Avery Bullock” on American Dad and even compared the role to his new one as ”Walter Blunt” premiering in 2015:

“This new character, Walter Blunt, is not at all like Avery, thank God, because this is live action and I am a Knight of the Realm. Blunt is, however, much smarter than Avery and has his own TV show, which has to be better than being Deputy Director of the CIA.” 

Coincidentally, ”Avery” has been used a BUNCH of times on this season’s American Dad, so we’ll just have to wait until Sunday Night @ 7:30 pm ET/PT to see if that trend continues on FOX.
