Without Mark Wahlberg: Ted series jumps 30 years into the past and mocks Netflix competition
As the first trailer shows, the series is at least partly a prequel, which means that Mark Wahlberg, human lead of the first two films, cannot be in the series to any great extent. In 1993 Boston, young Ted (voice in the original: Seth MacFarlane) grows up under unusual circumstances. And even back then he had a mouth with no moral boundaries.
The humor of the first teaser will appeal to many fans, after all Ted also shoots with pretty sharp ammunition in the series. His side blows include an ironic comment against the streaming service Peacock, for which the series is produced.
“We have a new series on the most successful streaming platform of all time”, hopes the young Ted in the teaser, while his older counterpart comments: “Well, we have a new series”. Peacock has so far been considered a minor player in the battle of the streaming services.
In addition to the teaser, MacFarlane has released some images for the series that express the 90s charm of the new project. Some shots look like clips from a classic sitcom
