Ted, the TV prequel to Seth MacFarlane's caustic movies, has been renewed for a second season. Ted the talking, bilious bear is at high school in the TV show, and it's been a massive hit for Peacock: as Variety reports, it's the streamer's most-watched original show to date, and it was the US's top streaming comedy for more than two consecutive months when it became available to stream.
The success of the show was never really in doubt: the first Ted movie was a big hit, pulling in nearly $550 million on a low (by movie standards) budget of $65m, and while the sequel wasn't quite so successful it still brought in a very respectable $215 million.
