Our Favorite Talking Bear is Back! Seth MacFarlane’s ‘Ted’ is Getting Animated
- The official release date for the new Ted series.
- Which original stars are returning to voice their characters.
- The visual vibe of this new animated world.
Finally, some news about our favorite foul-mouthed bear! We just saw that Peacock finally set a date for Ted: The Animated Series. Mark your calendars for Thursday, December 17. It is going to be a wild ride. We can’t wait.
The best part? The original crew is back. Seth MacFarlane is voicing Ted, of course. Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, and Jessica Barth are all returning too. It feels like a big family reunion. It is rare to get the whole big-screen team back for a TV show.
The show will launch with eight episodes. That is plenty to binge over the holidays. However, we have to wait until 2027 for the next batch. That feels like forever! While you wait, check out how Farah Khan has a message for the paparazzi that is just as sassy as Ted.
Let’s talk about the look. The visual style is so fun. It has that bright, saturated aesthetic we love from Seth MacFarlane’s other hits. The colors pop. It feels like the movies but with a fresh, hand-drawn vibe. The animation allows for much crazier stunts than real life ever could.
Everything is changing in the streaming world right now. In fact, your favorite family shows are finding a new home too. It seems like every character we grew up with is getting a second life lately. We are here for it.
Our Take
We think going animated is a genius move for Ted. Honestly? A CGI bear can sometimes look a bit weird next to real actors. In a cartoon, everything matches the same energy. It is loud. It is colorful. It is messy. We think this version will be even funnier than the movies. It just fits the vibe perfectly.
