A Look Back at Ted's World

The second season of 'Ted' continues to be set in the 1990s, long after the talking teddy bear's brief period of stardom. Ted, voiced by Seth MacFarlane, is back living in Framingham, Massachusetts, sharing a home with his best friend, 17-year-old John Bennett, and John's rather dysfunctional family. Despite Ted's often questionable influence, his loyalty to John remains unwavering.

Returning Cast and New Adventures

Reprising their roles are Max Burkholder as John Bennett, alongside Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes, and Giorgia Whigham. The trailer suggests that Season 2 will lean heavily into the show's signature blend of raunchy comedy, relatable family struggles, and surprisingly touching moments. Ted continues to be a catalyst for pushing boundaries while, in his own way, keeping the household together.

A Note from the Showrunners

Seth MacFarlane, who also serves as executive producer, writer, director, and co-showrunner, shared a joint statement with fellow showrunners Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh. They expressed their excitement for the second season, highlighting the hard work of the writers, actors, and the visual effects team responsible for bringing Ted to life. "We hope you enjoy these eight somewhat filthy, hopefully funny heartfelt episodes about a young man, his talking teddy bear, and their highly dysfunctional family," they stated. They also humorously suggested that if the series isn't to viewers' taste, leaving episodes playing on multiple devices would be a way to "show them."

Production and UK Broadcast

'Ted' Season 2 is produced by UCP, Fuzzy Door, and MRC, with NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution handling international sales. The series was secured for Sky by Katie Keenan and Lucy Criddle, reinforcing Sky's commitment to bringing popular US comedy series to UK audiences. The full season will be available on Sky and the streaming service NOW starting March 6th, 2026.
