Trailer of Seth McFarlane’s Ted prequel series out

The makers of Seth McFarlane’s upcoming prequel series based on the foul-mouthed Teddy Bear character Ted, released the first trailer on Wednesday. 

The trailer shows that the show is set in 1993, and Ted is living with his best friend John (Max Burkholder) at his house in Framingham, Massachusetts. Further, we see the two trying to survive high school together, as they try to merge in with their peers and get laid. 

The CG animated character, voiced by McFarlane himself, was first introduced in the 2012 live-action comedy film Ted starring Mark Wahlberg in the lead. The film, written and directed by Seth McFarlane,  spawned a sequel in 2015.

The cast of the series includes Scott Grimes, Alanna Ubach, and Giorgia Whigham. Burkholder is playing the younger version of John Bannett, a character previously portrayed by Mark Wahlberg in the film. Ubach and Grimes will be playing Bannett’s parents in the film.

The 10-episode Peacock series will be released on January 11.
