Seth MacFarlane said he is willing to make Ted<\/a> Season 3 or even another movie, but he\u2019s going to need Peacock\u2019s “vast amounts of Big Scrooge McDuck money” to make it happen.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The mind behind Family Guy talked about the future of his raunchy teddy bear comedy franchise during a recent panel at Deadline Contenders TV<\/a>. He also took the opportunity to address the elephant in the room: Why hasn\u2019t Ted Season 3 been greenlit yet?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s at least a topic MacFarlane has on his mind. Although it sounds like nothing is in the works yet, he said the crew behind the prequel project would be willing to stick around for more Ted.<\/p>\n

“It really is up to Peacock with their, you know, vast amounts of big Scrooge McDuck money that they dive into every day,” MacFarlane said. ‘I think all of us, in some form or another, whether it’s a Season 3 of Ted or a direct-to-Peacock feature with this cast, is something I think we\u2019d all be up for. It\u2019s all on the table.”<\/p>\n

Ted began as a live-action comedy movie<\/a> starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis in 2012. A sequel<\/a> featuring Wahlberg and Amanda Seyfried then appeared in 2015 before the series took its teddy bear star (played by MacFarlane) to the TV world with Peacock\u2019s Ted series in 2024. Instead of Wahlberg, the prequel project stars a younger version of his character, played by Max Burkholder.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a success for the streamer so far, with Season 1 landing as a record-breaking hit<\/u><\/a> before Season 2 managed to rack up more than 1.2 billion minutes viewed<\/u><\/a> in the month since its March 2026 premiere. Despite the popularity of the Ted show, MacFarlane told The Wrap<\/u><\/a> last month that there is “no plan” to do a Season 3. He attributed the lack of an update to the cost to make the show, suggesting that Universal and Peacock weren\u2019t interested in a continuation.<\/p>\n
