Picking up 12 years after the last movie, John and his \"thunder-buddy\" Ted are now neighbors with families of their own and are facing the challenges of adult life. The animated series maintains the comedic essence of the original while introducing new characters like Amanda Seyfried as John's wife Sam and Jessica Barth as Ted's wife Tami-Lynn. MacFarlane, Corrigan, and Walsh are executive producers, with UGT, Fuzzy Door, and MRC handling production, while Rough Draft Studios provides animation.",
