Seth MacFarlane Wants To Do a ‘Ted’ Live-Action Movie For Peacock

The world can’t have enough Ted content, as far as Seth MacFarlane is concerned.

The uber-producer revealed at Saturday’s Ted panel at Deadline Contenders TV that he has flirted with the idea of making a Ted movie for Peacock, in addition to wanting to make a third season of the live-action series that co-stars Alana Ubach. There’s also an animated version of Ted that remains in the works for the platform.

“It really is up to to Peacock with their, you know, vast amounts of big Scrooge McDuck money that they dive into every day,” said MacFarlane, who has said in the past that he’s not sure Peacock will want to bankroll another season of the series. “I think all of us, in some form or another, whether it’s a Season 3 of Ted or a direct-to-Peacock feature with this cast, is something I think we’d all be up for. It’s all on the table.”

Added Ubach, who joined MacFarlane onstage Saturday.”The wonderful thing about a character-driven show is that the possibilities are endless, right?”

When asked about the upcoming animated series, MacFarlane reminded the audience that the original 2012 movie that starred Mark Wahlberg started out as an animated pitch before becoming a hit flick.

“It’s only fitting that it all comes back around to the animated show, the first season of which is getting close to completion as far as the production cycle,” MacFarlane said of the new iteration from executive producers Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh. “It takes place after the events of the last movie. So it’s Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth … all the folks from the original films. And it’s really funny. They’ve just done a phenomenal job. It’s joyful, at this point in my career, to get something off the ground and then watch it take shape under different stewardship. Brad and Paul have turned this thing into something that is fun for me to watch.”
