Seth MacFarlane is set to reprise his role as the foul-mouthed teddy bear Ted in an upcoming animated series for Peacock. The project follows the success of last year's live-action Ted series.
The AV Club reports that a new animated series featuring Ted is in development for Peacock, with Seth MacFarlane returning to voice the irreverent, swear-happy character. This marks another revival for the beloved bear, originally introduced in the 2012 film Ted directed by MacFarlane.
Ted's previous comeback came in the form of a live-action limited series that premiered on Peacock last year, bringing the character's crude humor to television audiences. The animated format promises to explore familiar antics, including the title's nod to Ted's penchant for smoking animated bongs, staying true to the franchise's edgy comedy style.
MacFarlane, known for creating and voicing characters in shows like Family Guy, brings his signature blend of satire and profanity to Ted. While details on the plot, release date, or additional cast remain undisclosed, the series aims to capitalize on the character's enduring popularity.
This development underscores Peacock's strategy to expand its original content with established IPs, blending animation with adult-oriented humor.
