They got him: the surprise breakout hit Ted is coming back for a second season on Peacock.

The ‘90s-set prequel, which follows the adventures of Seth MacFarlane’s Ted alongside best friend John (Max Burkholder), was originally listed as an ‘event series’ consisting of only seven episodes.

Now, perVariety, Ted is getting a season 2, presumably to chart more of the madcap antics of the crude titular bear before the events of the 2012 movie and its 2015 sequel. The cast of the first season included Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes, Giorgia Whigham, with narration by Sir Ian McKellen.

Upon its release, Tedbecame Peacock’s most-watched original title. It fared well with audiences in other metrics too: it’s currently sitting at an audience score of 90%, while its critics score is a healthy 72%.

Elsewhere, Peacock subscribers havethe second season of Rian Johnson’s mystery drama Poker Faceto look forward to. The first season sees Natasha Lyonne’s Charlie – equipped with an unerring knack to detect when someone is lying – solve a variety of cases and murders, all presented in a Colombo-esque fashion that reveals the murderer up front.

Just don’t expect new episodes anytime soon. Rian Johnson toldDeadlinelast year that his next focus is Glass Onion 3 with Daniel Craig’s dapper detective Benoit Blanc on Netflix.

All seven episodes of Ted’s first season are currently streaming on Peacock. For more, check out thenew TV showscoming your way very soon. Then take a look at what’s coming to cinemas with ourmovie release datescalendar.
