Why Ted 3 Isn’t Happening (But A Prequel Is)

The last time Mark Wahlberg sat on a couch drinking a beer with a bear was 2015, and while Ted 3 isn’t happening, a Ted prequel series has already wrapped production. The upcoming comedy series from Seth MacFarlane, who will also return to provide the voice for the lovably foul-mouthed titular teddy bear, will be a prequel to both Ted and Ted 2 and focus on John Bennett’s early days with Ted, who came to life when he was a boy. Joining MacFarlane will be Max Burkholder as a teenage John, and Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach as John’s parents Matt and Susan Bennett.
