Get ready for more R-rated laughs and adolescent chaos! Peacock's hit comedy series, "Ted," is officially back for its second season, with all eight episodes set to premiere on Thursday, March 5, 2026. Fans can binge the entire new season exclusively on Peacock, revisiting the hilarious misadventures of teenage John Bennett and his sentient, foul-mouthed teddy bear.
The prequel series plunges viewers back into 1994, following 17-year-old John Bennett (played by Max Burkholder) and his "thunder buddy" Ted (voiced by series creator Seth MacFarlane) as they navigate their senior year of high school in Framingham, Massachusetts. This season promises more high school struggles, family dynamics, and John's often impractical quest to lose his virginity before graduation. The returning core cast also includes Scott Grimes as John's father Matty Bennett, Alanna Ubach as his mother Susan Bennett, and Giorgia Whigham as his politically liberal cousin Blaire Bennett.
Seth MacFarlane not only lends his voice to the titular bear but also serves as an executive producer, writer, director, and co-showrunner for the series, alongside Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh. The first season of "Ted" broke records, becoming Peacock's most-watched original title and ranking as the #1 Original Streaming Comedy in the U.S. for over two consecutive months following its January 2024 debut. Expect another round of edgy humor and surprisingly heartfelt moments from this beloved duo and their dysfunctional family.
