The new trailer for Ted that will be streaming on Peacock just dropped.

The new Seth MacFarlane series is a prequel to the film series, according to Deadline. The plot is based around an era in 1993 when Ted the bear (Seth MacFarlane) has faded from the limelight and he's living back home with his best friend, 116-year-old John Bennet (Max Burkholder). Additionally, John's parents, Susan and Matty (Alanna Ubach and Scott Grimes) and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham), live there, too.
