'Ted' star Max Burkholder hopes to play high schoolers through his 50s

Season 2 of Ted debuted with eight episodes on Peacock, but creator Seth MacFarlane hinted Season 3 may be unlikely due to high costs and story limits.

  • On March 5, Peacock dropped all eight episodes of Ted Season 2, with Max Burkholder, 28, returning as high school senior John Bennett.
  • Creator Seth MacFarlane said the show's future may be uncertain, citing limited storytelling after the lead graduates and a reported $10 million-per-episode budget as reasons Season 3 might not occur.
  • Episode 3 'Dungeons & Dealers' exemplifies the season's mix of adult humor and oddball gags, set in 1994 Boston and filmed in Universal City.
  • Peacock has yet to close the door on a third season, as some involved remain hopeful despite creator doubts, with 'As of now, there are no direct plans'.
  • The creator told ScreenRant there's currently 'As of now, there are no direct plans' for the live-action continuation, while an animated Ted series is in development as a sequel and potential third instalment.
