After two movies and a prequel series, the world of Ted is growing again.
Peacock has greenlit an animated Ted series based on the movies from Seth MacFarlane. The show will sit alongside the prequel series on Peacock, which premiered in January 2024 and has been renewed for a second season.

MacFarlane will continue to provide the voice of Ted — a teddy bear brought to life by a boy’s wish, now grown up and bearing the hallmarks of a boorish Seth MacFarlane character. Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried and Jessica Barth will also star, reprising their roles from the Ted movies (the show will be set after the events of 2015’s Ted 2), along with Kyle Mooney and Liz Richman.
The live-action Ted prequel had a solid first season for Peacock, making the top 10 original streaming series rankings three times during its run and outpacing all other original comedies on streaming for two months. It also had a strong showing on Sky in the U.K.
MacFarlane told The Hollywood Reporter when the prequel series debuted that he was satisfied with where the Ted movies ended, but “the idea of doing a prequel was a different case. It wasn’t something that I came up with. Universal actually proposed the idea to me of doing a Ted series. I hadn’t really thought about going back to that character until they mentioned it, and I said, ‘Really? Isn’t that outrageously expensive?’ They stayed true to their word and did not compromise the quality.”
Like the live-action Ted series, the animated show comes from Universal Studio Group’s UCP. Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh, executive producers of the prequel, will be showrunners and exec produce with MacFarlane, Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark, Aimee Carlson of MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door Productions and Claudia Katz of animation studio Rough Draft.
