All episodes of the live action comedy prequel Ted return to Sky and streaming service NOW in the UK and Ireland on 6 March 2026, with the full second season dropping at once.

The series, which acts as a prequel to the Ted films, stays rooted firmly in the 1990s. Ted the bear, voiced by Seth MacFarlane, has already had his brush with fame and is now back where he started in Framingham, Massachusetts. He lives with his best friend, 17 year old John Bennett, played by Max Burkholder, alongside John's parents Matty and Susan, portrayed by Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach, and cousin Blaire, played by Giorgia Whigham.

Ted remains a terrible role model and an even worse house guest. Still, beneath the bad habits and loud opinions, he is fiercely loyal. When it comes to friendship, he is always willing to stick his neck out, even if it causes chaos for everyone else in the house.

Seth MacFarlane, who serves as executive producer, writer, director, co showrunner and the voice of Ted, shared a message alongside fellow executive producers, writers and co showrunners Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh. They describe the second season as the result of a huge collaborative effort, praising the writers, cast, crew and visual effects team who continue to bring Ted convincingly to life.

The team promises eight episodes that are deliberately filthy, hopefully funny and unexpectedly heartfelt. At its centre is the story of a young man, his talking teddy bear and a deeply dysfunctional family. They also jokingly suggest that, should the series not appeal, viewers could always leave all episodes playing to completion on multiple devices around the house.

Alongside MacFarlane, the series regular cast includes Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes and Giorgia Whigham. Executive producers also include Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark and Aimee Carlson under the Fuzzy Door banner.

Ted is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, alongside Fuzzy Door and MRC, and is distributed by NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution. The series was acquired for Sky by Katie Keenan and Lucy Criddle.

Ted season two returns to Sky and streaming service NOW on 6 March 2026.
