Ted season 2 was renewed in May 2024, just four months after season 1 dropped in its entirety on the streaming platform.

On his official Instagram , Seth MacFarlane, who directed the entirety of season 1 in addition to writing certain episodes, shared a post with an image of Ted celebrating. The caption announced that Ted season 2 has officially wrapped production. MacFarlane thanked the cast and crew who helped bring the show to life, teasing that it will be "the funniest season yet!"

What This Means For Ted Season 2

The Show's Release Date Looms

While season 2 has officially wrapped production, this does not mean that it will be heading to Peacock any time soon. At the time of writing, its official release date is still unknown, but like any show, it will have to go through post-production before it is ready to air. The fact that the Ted cast is led by a CGI character complicates this process, as it will require the use of extensive visual effects. For an idea of how long this might take, see the production timeline for season 1 below:

It is also unknown if season 2 will premiere its episodes all at once or weekly, though if it is the latter, it could potentially premiere before the entirety of post-production is complete. This would allow it to have a slightly more truncated hiatus between the end of principal photography and its premiere. However, if it follows the show's previous precedent, there will likely be no follow up on Ted season 1 ending until at least March 2026, which would give the show a hiatus of more than two years.

Our Take On The Ted Season 2 Update

This Announcement Is An Important Step

While it could still be some time before Ted returns to Peacock, the fact that principal photography has wrapped is a positive step for the Seth MacFarlane comedy. Several months after its renewal was confirmed, reports stated that season 2 was almost cancelled while still in pre-production because of the $8 million per-episode budget required by the visual effects-heavy series. While the show could still face budgetary issues during post-production, this announcement means that it is one step closer to being finished properly.
