Ted Season 2 release date: Peacock is taking viewers back to the 1990s once again with the return of its popular comedy series Ted. The streaming platform has confirmed that Season 2 of Ted will start streaming on March 5, 2026. There will be eight new episodes on the same day.
The show comes from Seth MacFarlane and works as a prequel to the hit Ted movies. This time the story follows teenage John Bennett and his talking teddy bear Ted during their high school years. Season 2 will have one more episode than Season 1, which had seven episodes. That means more jokes, more trouble, and more wild moments with Ted.
