The new 'Ted' TV series, a prequel to the 2012 comedy movie, has made a significant impact by breaking a Rotten Tomatoes record for the franchise with an 85% audience score, surpassing the original film's 73%. The show, which premiered on Peacock, features an animated lead character filmed alongside human actors in real-time, a first for a TV series, and has quickly become the most watched original series on the platform. Creator Seth MacFarlane has indicated that the possibility of future 'Ted' projects will depend on the audience's continued interest. The series retains the vulgar and goofy humor of the original and explores Ted's early years with new characters. Mark Wahlberg, who starred in the movies, is notably absent from the show, which is set 20 years prior to the first film.
Seth MacFarlane says ‘TED’ Season 2 will only happen if the audience has appetite for more of the character. (Source: https://t.co/1DpBZ62aKy) https://t.co/Lb9UVY8Fzy
