Ted S1
Ted (Oscar nominee Seth MacFarlane) is back in an all-new prequel event series in which the foul-mouthed bear is forced to navigate high school alongside his best friend John (Max Burkholder, aka Max Braverman in Parenthood).
It’s 1993, and 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 Bennet, along with John’s parents, Matty and Susan and cousin Blaire. 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.
One of Rotten Tomatoes’ Most Anticipated TV and Streaming Shows of 2024, Ted has an 8.1/10 rating on IMDb. As The Daily Beast says, “The new Ted Series Is as filthy, offensive, and – God help us- funny as ever.”
