Fans of Seth MacFarlane’s raunchy comedy Ted have a new way to experience the world of the foul-mouthed teddy bear, with a prequel series now available. The show revisits the 1990s and centers on the teenage years of John Bennett and his unexpectedly articulate plush companion.
Max Burkholder stars as John in the television adaptation, and the series introduces viewers to his family, including his cousin Blaire, played by Giorgia Whigham. Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach portray John’s parents, Matt and Susan, completing a family dynamic reminiscent of classic sitcoms.
Ted, a Prequel Series That Rewinds to the 90s
The seven-episode series Ted explores John’s youth and his unique relationship with the bear who came to life thanks to a childhood wish. The show maintains the irreverent humor that made the films so popular.
The series also places a greater emphasis on John’s family life. His cousin Blaire plays a central role in his teenage experiences, while the tensions between his parents provide plenty of comedic moments. This blend of coming-of-age comedy and social satire stays true to MacFarlane’s signature style, and continues a trend of successful film adaptations finding new life on television.
Where to Stream Ted
Ted is currently streaming on Peacock in the United States. However, the platform is not yet available in France, leaving international viewers searching for ways to access the show.
Some viewers are utilizing VPNs to connect to Peacock from the U.S. And unlock its content. Others are turning to unofficial streaming sites, which often come with a barrage of advertisements. Alternatively, fans can simply wait, as another platform in France may eventually acquire the rights to distribute the series legally.
