To celebrate the anticipated release of Ted, the new series from Seth Macfarlane coming to streaming this month, we had the chance to chat to some of the new cast and writers who have helped bring the foul-mouthed bear back to life.
Set in 1993, after the opening sequence in Ted (2012), the series depicts the early life of a sentient teddy bear toy named Ted (Seth Macfarlane, who also directs), as he lives with John Bennett (Max Burkholder) and his family in Massachusetts. In addition to John and Ted, the Bennett household includes John’s father Matty (Scott Grimes), his mother Susan (Alanna Ubach), and his cousin, Blaire (Giorgia Whigham), who is living with them while attending a college nearby.
Chatting with stars Max Burkholder and Giorgia Wigham, and writers Brad Walsh and Paul Corrigan, we chat about working with Macfarlane and his unique genius for comedy, why Ted still resonates ten years after the first film and why audiences still love him, taking the comedy to the 1990s and the humour the decade provokes, why fans can anticipate the usual mix of R-rated laughs but warmth and heartfelt moments too and, of course, the continued genius of Ted’s favourite film, Flash Gordon.
