Ted: The Animated Series Picked Up by Peacock

Peacock announced today the series pickup of Ted: The Animated Series (working titled) from Seth MacFarlane, following the success of the record-breaking, live-action #1 Original Streaming Comedy Ted. The animated series picks up after the Ted films.

MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad!, The Orville) is set to reprise the voice of the iconic and loveable foul-mouthed teddy bear “Ted,” and will also executive produce all episodes alongside executive producers Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh (Modern Family), who also executive produced the live-action series Ted.

The original film franchise stars returning as series regulars to voice their roles include Mark Wahlberg (The Union, The Family Plan) as “John,” Amanda Seyfried (Long Bright River, The Dropout) as “Sam,” and Jessica Barth (Ted & Ted 2) as “Tami-Lynn.”

The additional series regulars include Kyle Mooney (Y2K, Saturday Night Live) as “Apollo” and Liz Richman (Little America, Ted) as “Ruth.” The series comes from UCP (a division of Universal Studio Group), Fuzzy Door, and MRC.

Following its January 11, 2024, launch, season one of Ted broke records as Peacock‘s most-watched original title to date and was the #1 Original Streaming Comedy in the U.S. for more than two consecutive months (per Nielsen).

The series was also a global hit, becoming the biggest U.S. comedy launch on Sky in the UK in over 20 years. It was recently renewed for a second season.

The executive producers of Ted: The Animated Series are writer Seth MacFarlane, writers and showrunners Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh, and Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark, Aimee Carlson (Fuzzy Door), and Claudia Katz (Rough Draft).
