Trailer Drop: Ted Season 2 Roars Back With Foul-Mouthed Fun — Peacock Sets March Premiere

Peacock has officially dropped the Ted Season 2 trailer, and yes the world is once again bracing itself for the return of television’s most inappropriate teddy bear. After a breakout first season that surprised just about everyone (including people who swore they were “done with Ted”), the prequel series is back with bigger laughs, sharper insults and a high school setting that proves growing up is optional when you’re a sentient plush menace.

Season 2 of Ted is set to premiere Thursday, March 5, 2026, with all episodes releasing at once on Peacock. Binge responsibly… or don’t. Ted certainly wouldn’t. The new trailer wastes zero time reminding viewers why this show works so well in episodic form. Set in 1994, the series continues to follow teenage John Bennett and his magically animated best friend as they stumble through senior year in suburban Massachusetts. College anxiety, family tension, social landmines, all of it is filtered through Ted’s aggressively unfiltered worldview. The result is a coming-of-age comedy that’s both oddly heartfelt and wildly unhinged.

Seth MacFarlane once again voices Ted, leaning fully into the character’s gleeful lack of restraint. Max Burkholder returns as John, grounding the chaos with a performance that balances awkward teen sincerity and exhausted resignation. The Bennett household remains a highlight, with Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach back as John’s parents, Matty and Susan, two people doing their absolute best while constantly questioning every life choice that led them here. Giorgia Whigham also returns as cousin Blaire, whose sharp tongue and ideological clashes continue to make family dinners a competitive sport.

The Season 2 trailer suggests the show is doubling down on what made Season 1 click: fast jokes, pop-culture riffs, and surprisingly strong character dynamics beneath all the crude humor. There’s a clear sense that the writers are more comfortable in this version of the Ted universe, letting the nostalgia and insanity coexist without tripping over the films’ shadow.

With Ted Season 2 airing March 5 on Peacock, the series is positioning itself as one of the streamer’s most reliable comedy swings loud, ridiculous, and smarter than it pretends to be. The trailer makes one thing abundantly clear: Ted hasn’t matured, hasn’t learned, and absolutely hasn’t apologized. And honestly? That’s exactly why this show still works.
