Ted

Ted is an upcoming American comedy television series created by Seth MacFarlane for Peacock. The third installment in the Ted franchise, it serves as a prequel to the feature films, with MacFarlane reprising his role as the voice of the titular character. It is set to premiere on January 11, 2024.

Premise

Set in 1993, after the opening sequence in Ted (2012), the series depicts the early life of a sentient teddy bear toy named Ted, as he lives with John Bennett and his family in Massachusetts.[1] In addition to John and Ted, the Bennett household includes John's father Matty, his mother Susan, and his cousin, Blaire, who is living with them while attending a college nearby.

Cast

Production

It was announced in June 2021 that Peacock had given a straight-to-series order for a prequel series to the 2012 film. In addition to serving as executive producer for the series, Seth MacFarlane reprises his role as the titular character "Ted". Due to the prequel nature of the series, film stars Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, and Mila Kunis are not expected to reprise their roles.[3] In April 2022, Scott Grimes, Max Burkholder, and Giorgia Whigham joined the cast.[4] In May 2022, Alanna Ubach rounded out the cast of the series.[5]

Filming began in August 2022 on the Universal Studios backlot.[6][7] The first season will consist of eight episodes.

In November 2022, Seth MacFarlane confirmed that filming had wrapped.[8]

MacFarlane wrote the first three episodes. Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh wrote the fourth and eighth episodes. Dana Gould wrote the fifth episode. Jon Pollack wrote the sixth episode. Julius Sharpe wrote the seventh episode.[9]

Release

All seven episodes of Ted are scheduled to be released on January 11, 2024.[10]
