View Date:2024-12-23 12:42:16
For fans of the "Ted" movies, a new series focused on the events in the years before the movies is coming to Peacock early next year.
Set in 1993, the "Ted" series acts as a prequel to the two comedy movies featuring the titular talking teddy bear. Seth MacFarlane is the series' director, executive producer, writer and co-showrunner along with Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh.
"Each generation develops its own unique artistic style, its own way of seeing the world. In the twenties, it was the subversive musical phrasings of jazz. In the fifties, it was the bold brushwork of the abstract expressionists. Our generation’s unique art is streaming content based on previously successful intellectual property. In that proud tradition, we humbly give you 'Ted,'" MacFarlane, Corrigan and Walsh joked in a release.
Here's what to know about the new "Ted" series.
'Ted' series premiere date, streaming platform, how to watch
All seven episodes of the series will premiere Jan. 11, 2024 on Peacock. The premiere will be a "supersized episode," according to a release, and the following six episodes will be 30 minutes long.
According to the show's description, Ted the bear (voiced by MacFarlane) is living back in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett, John’s parents, Matty and Susan and cousin Blaire.
MacFarlane, Corrigan and Walsh said while the series is set in the nineties, it is "based on the timeless truth that being sixteen sucks. The only thing that makes it tolerable is going through it with a friend, even if that friend is a has-been magical teddy bear with a foul mouth and a proclivity for drug use."
