Get ready for a roaring comeback! 'Ted' Season 2 is officially coming to Peacock, and it's bringing all the laughs and nostalgia you could ask for.
The highly anticipated sequel to the beloved comedy franchise has set its release date for March 5, 2026, and it's a full-season premiere with all eight episodes dropping at once. This prequel series, which first graced our screens in 2024, has quickly risen to the top of Peacock's original content, and now it's back with more hilarious adventures.
But here's where it gets controversial... The show's returning cast includes the talented Seth MacFarlane, who brings Ted to life with his voice and motion capture skills. Joining him are Max Burkholder, Scott Grimes, Allana Ubach, and Giorgia Whigham, who all reprise their roles. Peacock has even given us a sneak peek with some first-look images, which you can check out below.
The series transports us back to the 1990s in Framingham, MA, where we witness the events leading up to the first 'Ted' film. It's a coming-of-age story with a twist - John (Burkholder) navigates the challenges of high school life with his unique best friend, a talking teddy bear. As the official logline puts it, "Ted might be a bit of a bad influence, but he's a loyal buddy who'd do anything for friendship."
And this is the part most people miss... MacFarlane isn't just the voice of Ted; he's also the writer, director, and executive producer of the show, along with Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh. Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark, and Aimee Carlson from Fuzzy Door also join as executive producers. The show is produced by UCP, Fuzzy Door, and MRC, bringing together a powerhouse team.
But wait, there's more! In addition to this live-action prequel, Peacock is also developing an animated sequel series, reuniting most of the film's main cast, including Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, and Jessica Barth. It's a Ted takeover!
