Peacock has dropped a red band trailer for the highly anticipated sequel to the comedy franchise "Ted". The new trailer promises an onslaught of outrageous antics, including pot-fueled escapades and Dungeons & Dragons shenanigans.
The second season of the prequel series follows Ted and his best friend John as they navigate their senior year of high school in Framingham, Massachusetts. Despite their best efforts to fit in, the duo is still struggling to find their place in the world - with a foul-mouthed talking teddy bear as their unlikely companion.
The show's creator, Seth MacFarlane, is back behind the scenes to provide the voice and motion capture for Ted, alongside a talented supporting cast that includes Max Burkholder, Scott Grimes, Allana Ubach, and Giorgia Whigham.
According to the official logline, "Ted may be a lousy influence on John, but at the end of the day, he's a loyal pal who's always willing to go out on a limb for friendship". The series will premiere all eight episodes on March 5, 2026, marking the return of this irreverent comedy franchise.
The news comes as Peacock is also gearing up to release an animated sequel series that reunites many of the main cast members from the films, including Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, and Jessica Barth.

omg can't wait for ted 2! those pot-fueled antics sound hella funny 
i love how ted is still being his weird self but in high school now lol john's struggles to fit in are so relatable 
and the supporting cast sounds amazing 
Seth MacFarlane bringing ted back as voice and motion capture is genius 
can't wait for march 5, 2026! 
i remember watching the first movie with my friends back in college and we were all dying laughing at ted's antics 
and i love that they're bringing back some of the old cast members, it's like a big ted family reunion 
can't wait to binge the whole season on march 5th
. When I was in high school, we were just trying to survive exams and social drama without a foul-mouthed teddy bear 
. Nowadays it's all about the nostalgia and the laughter. But is it still funny? Does it have heart? Or are they just relying on the same old antics that worked 15 years ago? I'm not sure... I guess what I'm saying is, let's see how it plays out 
. Maybe it'll be a blast from the past or maybe it'll fall flat. Either way, I'm excited to find out! 
I mean, who doesn't love a good laugh with their favorite foul-mouthed teddy bear, but senior year of high school is like, super serious stuff 
The supporting cast looks like they're gonna bring the funny and I'm hyped for March 5th! 
like, what's next? a spinoff where john becomes the main character and ted gets all left behind? 
still gonna check it out tho, maybe peacock will finally get it right. 
that pot-fueled escapades tho sounds like a recipe for disaster 
can't wait to see what kind of chaos Ted and John get into in their senior year of high school 
This sounds like a real snooze fest for me...
. Seth MacFarlane is genius when it comes to creating ridiculous characters that steal the show. I'm also excited to see what's next for Peacock - an animated sequel series sounds like a blast! March 5 can't come soon enough 
. The idea of a foul-mouthed talking teddy bear as a high school companion is already too funny to handle 
. I just hope they keep the irreverent humor that made the original so lovable 
.
Mark Wahlberg as grown-up Patrick Star from "Ted" would be EPIC lol. The prequel series looks like it's gonna be just as ridiculous and hilarious as the originals
