There is some f*cking good news in the teddy bear world today. Ted is coming back. Not as a full feature movie with Mark Wahlberg, but as a 10-episode prequel on Peacock.
“Seth has a superpower of creating fandoms and Ted is a shining example of his ability to create beloved characters that we can’t get enough of,” NBCUniversal Entertainment Content chairman Susan Rovner said in a statement to THR. “We are so lucky to bring this project to Peacock viewers who will have an opportunity to see their favorite foul-mouthed teddy bear once again.”
MacFarlane will reprise the voice of the foul-mouthed stuffed animal, along with writing and directing the first episode.
However, when that will be, is anyone’s guess. That is because we are still waiting for him to finish the third season of Orvillefor Hulu. He better hurry up, or we will be in the same year as the year the show takes place.
