Ted is ready to make the most of senior year in the trailer for the Seth MacFarlane-created Peacock series’ second season.
Serving as a prequel to the Universal film franchise that launched with the 2012 movie, the series debuts all eight episodes of its latest season via the streamer on March 5. MacFarlane voices the titular anthropomorphic teddy bear who remains on the lookout for a good time.
This season of the family-focused comedy is set in 1994 and centers on John (Max Burkholder), the 17-year-old version of the character Mark Wahlberg played in the original film and its sequel. In season two, John teams up with his beloved stuffed animal as they deal with senior year. Rounding out the show’s cast as John’s kin are Scott Grimes, Alanna Ubach and Giorgia Whigham.
“Would you sit in Blaire’s car and be my lookout while I have dirty bear sex with Mrs. Robichek?” Ted asks John in the trailer. John replies, “Teddy, it would be my honor.”
Universal Studio Group’s UCP produces Ted alongside MacFarlane’s banner Fuzzy Door and MRC. MacFarlane, Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh are co-showrunners and executive produce. Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark and Aimee Carlson also executive produce.

The Ted universe will continue to expand on Peacock with the forthcoming Ted: the Animated Series, which was announced last year. It will continue where the Ted movies left off and feature a voice cast of MacFarlane, Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Kyle Mooney and Liz Richman.
Ted was the top streaming comedy in the U.S. for about two months after its first season debuted in January 2024, with Peacock touting the season as having set a record as its most-watched original title. It also notched big numbers globally, particularly on Sky in the U.K.
