Peacock announced Thursday that it has ordered a series based on the Ted films. Seth MacFarlane directed the two movies and voices the character. Ted is a teddy bear who came to life when John Bennett was a kid. Mark Wahlberg starred in the two movies as grown-up John. Once John grew up, Ted started swearing and they engaged in adult activities together, like smoking marijuana. Computer generated animation brought Ted to life in scenes with live-action Wahlberg.
