Ted gets older, not necessarily more mature, in Peacock show’s season 2 trailer

In hindsight, “maturity” was maybe not the proper word for that previous sentence, as the new trailer for the show’s second season sees Ted and John getting up to pretty much the same stuff they got involved in last season: Lots of getting high, causing problems, and getting yelled at by the various adults in their lives. (Also, the spectacle of seeing a teddy bear running around with a purple pixelated blur ’round their nether regions, as Ted apparently involves himself in the world of wearable sex toys) Oh, and also a bit of an internet nerd jump scare, as the show briefly brings in celebrity dungeon master Brennan Lee Mulligan (Dimension 20, Critical Role) to DM for the Bennett family.

MacFarlane and his co-showrunners, Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh, also put out a statement alongside the trailer, saying, “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.”

Ted returns for its second season on March 5.
