Fun New Trailer for Seth MacFarlane’s Raunchy Comedy Series TED
Peacock has released a full trailer for Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming raunchy comedy event series Ted, and it looks like it’s going to be a pretty funny show! This show gives us a prequel story that is set in 1993.
The trailer features Ted (MacFarlane) and John Bennett (Max Burkholder) as find themselves navigating high school while getting into hijinks involving drugs, sex, and mischief.
In the series, “Ted the bear's moment of fame has passed. He's now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett, 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.”
Peacock previously released a note from MacFarlane and executive producers/writers/co-showrunners Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh about the new series:
“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 expressionist. Our generation's unique art is streaming content based on previously successful intellectual property. In that proud tradition, we humbly give you Ted.”
"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 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)."
The series will premiere on Peacock on January 11, 2024.
