Seth MacFarlane<\/a>\u2019s Ted<\/a> series has emerged from hibernation for season two.<\/p>\n

MacFarlane voices the hedonistic, anthropomorphic teddy bear in the series that serves as a prequel to Universal<\/a>\u2019s 2012 comedy film of the same name and its 2015 sequel. Now streaming on Peacock, this season is set in 1994 and features John (Max Burkholder<\/a>), the 17-year-old version of the character Mark Wahlberg<\/a> plays in the movies, teaming up with his beloved stuffed animal to tackle senior year. Rounding out the show\u2019s cast are Scott Grimes<\/a> (Matty), Alanna Ubach<\/a> (Susan) and Giorgia Whigham<\/a> (Blaire<\/a>).<\/p>\n

During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> below, MacFarlane explains why the team opted for AI to transform him into former President Bill Clinton<\/a>, his focus when approaching the episode about abortion access and what the eight-episode season\u2019s final scene suggests about the likelihood of continuing the series.<\/p>\n
