‘It’s All on the Table’ — Seth MacFarlane Says Ted Season 3 or Movie Can Happen if Peacock Uses Its ‘Vast Amounts of Big Scrooge McDuck Money’
Seth MacFarlane expressed openness to developing Ted Season 3 or another Ted film, but indicated the project’s viability depends on Peacock’s willingness to invest significantly in the franchise. Speaking at a Deadline Contenders TV panel, the creator behind Family Guy discussed the status of the raunchy teddy bear comedy series, which remains without a greenlit third season.
MacFarlane indicated that the production team behind Ted would be available to continue the franchise, suggesting no creative obstacles exist for additional content. However, he emphasized that Peacock—the streaming platform currently home to the series—would need to commit substantial financial resources to make either a new season or film happen. The decision ultimately rests with Peacock’s leadership and their budgetary priorities for original content.
