Peacock has more to tease from Ted, its event series planned for Jan. 11, 2024.
The streamer has dropped an official trailer for the seven-episode series that serves as a prequel to the film franchise. The fresh cast of characters include Max Burkholder (Parenthood), Alanna Ubach (Euphoria), Scott Grimes (The Orville) and Giorgia Whigham (13 Reasons Why) while MacFarlane will continue to voice Ted.
In this comedic prequel event series to the Ted films, it’s 1993, and Ted the bear’s (Seth MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John’s parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach) and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). Ted may be a lousy influence on John, but at the end of the day, he’s a loyal pal who’s always willing to go out on a limb for friendship.
MacFarlane serves as co-showrunner with Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh. Other EPs on the series are Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark, Aimee Carlson (Fuzzy Door Productions). It’s from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, Fuzzy Door and MRC.
