Ted Season 2: Confirmation & Everything We Know (2024)

After two hit films, Ted has returned in his very own TV series on Peaco*ck, and now the foul-mouthed teddy bear is back for a second season. Based on the aforementioned movies by comedy hit-maker Seth MacFarlane, the Ted TV show serves as a prequel to the films in which audiences follow a teenage John and his best buddy Ted as they try to navigate high school together. Being a streaming exclusive, the series can recreate the raunchy tone and crass humor that made the movies so popular in the first place.

Initial reaction to Ted season 1 has been unsurprisingly mixed, with some outlets like The Daily Beast praising the show's return to the hoary humor of old, while The Hollywood Reporter cited the same humor as its ultimate downfall. In the end, a show like Ted was specifically designed to play to the audience that loved the films, and it succeeded in that regard. Though the show is an obviously large undertaking, there was an air of inconclusiveness that helped to fan the flames of rumor surrounding a follow-up season. Considering MacFarlane's successful TV track record, Ted could become his next small-screen success story.

More Raunchy Antics Are On The Way

Though it took a little while for Peaco*ck to make a decision regarding the future of Seth MacFarlane's latest TV hit, the rainbow brand eventually renewed Ted for a second season in May 2024. All of the Ted movies and shows have been popular with audiences, and it drew in enough viewers for Peaco*ck to give it another go. The expensive production costs of Ted meant a renewal wasn't a certainty, especially if it underperformed in the viewership department.

Ted Season 2 Cast

John & Ted Will Return

The cast of Ted will likely all return for season 2 since the first season took very few risks with regard to writing off characters. In fact, the series needs the main cast to return en masse in order to build upon the character beats that season 1 set up so nicely. That means fans can expect to see Max Burkholder return as John Bennett if the show is picked up for season 2, and Seth MacFarlane will reprise his voice-acting role as the lovably foul plush doll Ted. Most importantly, season 2 could also add new characters as John starts his senior year.

The returning actors and characters will likely include:

Actor	Ted Role
Max Burkholder	John Bennett
Seth MacFarlane	Ted
Alanna Ubach	Susan Bennett
Scott Grimes	Matt Bennett

Ted Season 2 Story

John's Senior Year Begins

Though Ted has been billed as a limited series by Peaco*ck, the finale of the first season left the door wide open for more. The ending of Ted season 1 did not see John achieve his goal of losing his virginity. In fact, he missed his opportunity in a wildly ironic way that could become a running joke in the series. Most importantly, the finale strengthened the bond between John and Ted, and established that they were anticipating going into senior year together. Ted season 2 could follow the duo as they tackle their last year in high school while John continues on his quest to lose his virginity.
