Ted: Peacock, Seth MacFarlane Series Gets Official Trailer, Images

Set to hit Peacock screens on January 11, 2024, here's the official trailer & images for Seth MacFarlane, Paul Corrigan & Brad Walsh's Ted.

Earlier this month, we were treated to an official teaser & preview images for executive producers/writers/co-showrunners Seth MacFarlane, Paul Corrigan & Brad Walsh's Ted series. In addition, we learned that the seven-episode Peacock prequel would be binge-dropping into our lives in January 2024 – kicking things off with a super-sized premiere, followed by six 30-minute episodes. Returning to voice our main man, MacFarlane is being joined by Giorgia Whigham (The Punisher, 13 Reasons Why), Max Burkholder (Parenthood), Scott Grimes (Oppenheimer, The Orville), and Alanna Ubach (Euphoria, Bombshell) – and now, we have an even better chance to check out the series. Along with a new set of preview images, we also have an official trailer to pass along that should a smile of the faces of fans of the franchise – here's a look!

With the seven-episode season set for a binge-drop on January 11, 2024, here's a look at the official trailer & overview for Peacock's Ted – followed by the previously-released teaser as well as some personal thoughts from MacFarlane, Corrigan & Walsh about the prequel series:

In this comedic prequel event series to the Ted films, it's 1993, and Ted the bear's (Seth MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed. He's now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John's parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach) and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). 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.

"Each generation develops its own unique artistic style, its own way of seeing the world. In the twenties, it was the subversive musical phrasings of jazz. In the fifties, it was the bold brushwork of the abstract expressionists. Our generation's unique art is streaming content based on previously successful intellectual property. In that proud tradition, we humbly give you 'Ted,'" shared MacFarlane, Corrigan & Walsh in a special note to viewers. "Our series is a prequel to the 'Ted' movies. It takes place in the nineties but is based on the timeless truth that being sixteen sucks. The only thing that makes it tolerable is going through it with a friend, even if that friend is a has-been magical teddy bear with a foul mouth and a proclivity for drug use. The three of us were teenagers in the nineties and grew up in and around Boston, where the show takes place, so many of these stories are personal for us. We were able to put the characters through some of the same indignities and milestones we experienced back then. Also, we made stuff up (it's a lot of pages to fill, and real life is mostly boring)."

Peacock's Ted stems from executive producers/writers/co-showrunners MacFarlane (who also directs), Corrigan, and Walsh. In addition, Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark, and Aimee Carlson (Fuzzy Door Productions) are on board as executive producers. UCP (a division of Universal Studio Group), Fuzzy Door, and MRC produce the streaming series.
