Seth MacFarlane's highly anticipated Ted the Series is set to premiere soon. Where can you stream it, and how many episodes can we expect? Although he is most famous for Family Guy, the Ted franchise has also been a huge success for MacFarlane, and the upcoming TV show is expected to be no different.
Ted made his debut in 2012, with a synopsis that detailed how John Bennett's wish as a child brought his teddy bear, Ted, to life. Now, a new Peacock series, Ted 2024, revisits the concept, delving into Ted and John's teenage years in the 1990s, as well as their family's lives.
As the release date approaches, many are wondering where to watch the series, how many episodes there are, and their duration. Read on for all the details.
Ted the Series release schedule – How many episodes are there?
There will be 8 episodes of Ted the Series Season 1, all of which will be available on the streaming service Peacock as of Thursday, January 11.
As for what time the episodes will drop depending on your time zone, it seems that Ted will be following Peacock’s usual time, that being:
5am ET
2am PT
7am Brazil
10am UK
11am Central European Time
3:30pm India
9pm Australia
Most episodes typically range from around 40 to 50 minutes in length. The series revolves around the story of a rude teddy bear named Ted, who resides with 16-year-old John and his family in Massachusetts. Despite Ted's negative influence on John, he remains a loyal friend who is constantly by his side.
The series takes place in a different time period than the movies, as it is a prequel. This means we have a fresh cast, featuring Max Burkholder, Scott Grimes, Alanna Ubach, and Giorgia Whigham. However, MacFarlane will still be voicing Ted. Watch the Season 1 trailer below.

As a hard fan of Seth MacFarlane's work, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Ted the Series. The original Ted movie was a hilarious and heartwarming comedy, and I have no doubt that the series will be just as good. I am particularly excited to see how the show explores Ted and John's teenage years, as I think it will be a lot of fun to see how their relationship develops. I am also looking forward to seeing the new cast members, as I think they will all bring something unique to the show.
Overall, I am very excited about Ted the Series and I can't wait to watch it when it premieres on Peacock on January 11th. I think it will be a great addition to the streaming service and I am sure that it will be a hit with fans of the original movie.
