Ted (stylized as ted) is an American fantasy comedy television series created and directed by Seth MacFarlane for Peacock. The third installment in the Ted franchise, it serves as a prequel to the first film and its sequel. It is produced by Fuzzy Door Productions, MRC, and Universal Content Productions and stars MacFarlane reprising his role as the voice of the titular character, alongside Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes, and Giorgia Whigham.

Ted premiered on January 11, 2024. In May 2024, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on March 5, 2026. That same month, MacFarlane confirmed that there were no plans for a third season, citing the show's high production costs.
