Seth MacFarlane returns to his roots with Ted: The Animated Series first look
Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, and Jessica Barth will reprise their Ted roles in the show.
The Ted cinematic universe continues to expand with the release of Ted: The Animated Series. The animated series, set to premiere on December 17, will consist of eight episodes followed by additional episodes streaming in 2027. The series, created by MacFarlane, Paul Corrigan, and Brad Walsh, draws inspiration from the success of MacFarlane's sitcoms Family Guy and American Dad!
The logline for the show states that John Bennett, played by Mark Wahlberg, and his childhood teddy bear Ted, voiced by MacFarlane, are now neighbors with families of their own and are dealing with the challenges of adult life. The animated format allows the duo to indulge in their bad ideas about marriage, parenting, and the difficulties of adult life without facing consequences.
The original film stars MacFarlane, Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, and Jessica Barth, and they will return to voice their roles in the animated series. New cast members Kyle Mooney and Liz Richman will also appear. In a brief teaser, Ted exclaims that nothing is off-limits thanks to the animated medium, which allows them to do anything without facing the repercussions they would face in real life.
