According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peacock is moving forward with Seth MacFarlane‘s (Family Guy, The Orville) animated Ted series. This new animated series will continue the Ted universe following the 2012 and 2015 films and the 2024 live-action series that was renewed on the streamer for a second season.

The Ted franchise follows the adventures of John Bennett, who wished that Ted, his beloved teddy bear, would come to life. Ted comes to life and becomes a foul-mouthed individual who has no filter. The Ted films follow the two as they are adults and the television prequel sees the duo in their early lives living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Mark Wahlberg (The Family Plan, Daddy’s Home), Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls, Long Bright River) and Jessica Barth (Along Came the Devil, A Stolen Life) will voice their characters from the film franchise in the new animated show, along with Kyle Mooney (No Hard Feelings, Saturday Night Live) and Liz Richman (The Outcoming, Little America). MacFarlane will continue to voice Ted as he has throughout the franchise.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, the Ted series did well with its first season on Peacock, making the top 10 original streaming series rankings three times during its run for two months. The series also had well-received showing on Sky in the U.K.

MacFarlane told The Hollywood Reporter that he was happy where the films of the franchise 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.”

The Ted films are available to stream on Netflix; the Ted series is available to stream on Peacock.
