Ted TV show preview
US comedy powerhouse Seth MacFarlane is back, this time bringing his lovable, foul mouthed creation, Ted, to the small screen with a brand new prequel series. Known for his particular brand of humor, that’s both painfully crass and endearingly sweet in equal measure, the Family Guy creator has written and directed this 90s set prequel, focusing on the early years of Ted and John (originally played by Mark Wahlberg in the theatrical outings).
The films explored the relationship between John, a Bostonian every man, and his teddy bear, wished to life when John was a child, now jaded, vulgar and downright indecent. The first film saw John considering a choice between life with Ted and a romantic relationship with girlfriend Lori, while the second saw Ted, now married, fight for his right to be a parent.
The Ted TV show promises to focus on the duo’s adolescent years. Taking inspiration from old family sitcoms, John’s family, Scott Grimes (The Orville) and Alanna Ubach (Euphoria), are never too far away. Also in the cast are Giorgia Whigham (Scream) as Blaire and Seth MacFarlane himself, once again providing the motion capture and voice for Ted.
