Seth MacFarlane clarifies his prior comments about Ted season 3.
The new series on Peacock is a prequel to the 2012 movie Ted, taking place in the 1990s. Seth MacFarlane voices the character of Ted in all three projects, including the 2015 sequel Ted 2. MacFarlane recently told ScreenRant that there aren’t any current plans for a third season of the live-action show, suggesting the series ended after its second season.
During a recent interview with Deadline, Seth MacFarlane indicated that another installment of Ted is likely if Peacock is willing to fund it. He and his team are considering either a third season of the show or a movie released directly on the streaming service. You can find his full comments below.
Ultimately, the decision rests with Peacock and their significant financial resources. I believe everyone involved would be happy to continue with the show, whether that’s through a third season or a movie released directly on Peacock. All options are being considered.
Seth MacFarlane has hinted that the season 2 finale of Ted doesn’t necessarily mean the show is over, and a movie released directly on Peacock is a real possibility. Season 2 consisted of eight half-hour episodes, totaling about four hours of content. A movie would likely be shorter, making it potentially cheaper for Peacock to produce than another full season.
Critics and viewers alike have enjoyed both seasons of Ted. On Rotten Tomatoes, the show boasts an 87% average score from critics and a 90% audience score. The second season received a perfect 100% critical score, a significant improvement over the 74% from season one, while audience approval remained steady at 90% for both. These ratings are better than those of the Ted movies, particularly when compared to Ted 2.
| Movie/Show | Tomatometer Score | Popcornmeter Score |
|---|---|---|
| Ted (2012) | 68% | 73% |
| Ted 2 (2015) | 45% | 50% |
| Ted (2024-Present) | 87% | 90% |
In addition to positive reviews, Ted is performing well on Peacock. Nielsen reports that season 2 has garnered 1.2 billion minutes of watch time since its full release on March 5th. The show is currently Peacock’s most popular scripted original series among men aged 18-34, and these strong numbers suggest potential for future installments, such as a third season or a movie.
While it’s currently unknown if there will be a season 3 or a movie continuing the story of the teddy bear and John Bennett (played by Max Burkholder), the franchise will expand with Ted: The Animated Series on Peacock later this year. This show picks up after the events of Ted 2, with Mark Wahlberg returning to voice the adult John he portrayed in the films. Amanda Seyfried and Jessica Barth will also reprise their roles as Sam and Tami-Lynn, and Liz Richman and Kyle Mooney join the cast as new characters.
Alongside Seth MacFarlane as Ted and Max Burkholder as young John, the cast of the Ted series features Alanna Ubach as John’s mother, Susan, Scott Grimes as his father, Matty, Giorgia Whigham as cousin Blaire, Marissa Shankar as Blaire’s girlfriend Sarah, and Ara Hollyday as a classmate of John and Ted. Following Patrick Stewart’s narration in the films, Ian McKellen joins the show as the new narrator.
