Seth MacFarlane’s prequel returns to Sky

Sky has released the trailer for the second season of Seth MacFarlane’s Ted, the prequel series to the hit movies.

All episodes will land with the broadcaster and streaming service Now on March 6.

The series is set in the 1990s when Ted’s moment of fame as a talking toy has  passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 17-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John’s parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach) and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham).

In a statement, Seth MacFarlane and fellow showrunners, Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh, said: ‘We hope you enjoy these eight somewhat filthy, hopefully funny heartfelt episodes about a young man, his talking teddy bear, and their highly dysfunctional family. 

‘On the off-chance the series is not your cup of tea, a great way to get us back is to leave all the episodes playing to completion on multiple devices throughout the house. That’ll show us.’
