Sequels are serious business, as a meteoric hit like Seth MacFarlane’s 2012 comedy Ted aren’t always built to continue onward. The 2024 TV schedule is about to give way to a limited prequel series that fills in some of the backstory in that universe, which gives us a good entry point to talk about how this unlikely franchise became its current self. So why not take this opportunity talk about how Ted 2 totally changed on a dime during its development.
Seth MacFarlane originally had a totally different sequel in mind, but thanks to some outside circumstances, the 2015 movie changed into something off that beaten path. Though as a result, this may or may not have been the reason Mila Kunis didn’t return to her role of Lori for a full movie, as two different stories were told in the press.
