Seth MacFarlane explained that Ted has no plans for Season 3 simply for being too expensive to produce
has been a major success with fans, but it turns out that series creator Seth MacFarlane has no plans to continue the Peacock streaming series with a Season 3 at this time due to how expensive the show is to produce.
The first season ofended up being such a hit with Peacock that the streaming service picked it up for a second season, and that hot streak already looks, MacFarlane went further into detail about why the show had no plans to continue, “What I kept hearing was, ‘Listen, the show is really expensive to produce and there’s no way to do it at a lower cost. So I said, ‘All right, I hear you loud and clear.’” Thus MacFarlane wrote those final moments of Season 2 as more of a series finale.“What I kept hearing was, ‘Listen, the show is really expensive to produce and there’s no way to do it at a lower cost,” MacFarlane began. “So I said, ‘All right, I hear you loud and clear.’ So I wrote the last scene with Max walking into a gym, presumably coming out as Mark Wahlberg in the firstfilm,” the creator explained. Thus further cementing that the final moments of the season were truly meant to be a button on the prequel series overall.“So Brad Walsh and Paul Corrigan and I kind of painted ourselves into a corner,” MacFarlane explained about the potential to continuebeyond what was written at the end of the second season. “Is there a way to do it? There’s always a way to do anything. But at the moment, it might take some narrative acrobatics. There’s no plan that I’ve heard of at the moment to do Season 3.” While it might not seem impossible to continue, it also doesn’t seem likely.not continuing with more of the live-action series is certainly a bummer, it’s not the end of the franchise overall. The TV series being so expensive to produce is also why a third feature film didn’t happen either. Instead, Seth MacFarlane is shifting the franchise over to an animated series that he believes is going to be released sometime between 2026 and 2027.“The one thing the animated series allowed us to do, that we couldn’t do with a live-action show, was pull together people like Mark Wahlberg and Amanda Seyfried – people who are really busy in the film world and would probably not be available to do television in any capacity – to come in and do an hour’s worth of voiceover work each work is a little more manageable for them with their schedules,” the creator stated. “So, it allowed us to pick up after the second movie finished.”Marvel Star Basically Confirms His Missing MCU Hero is Back9 Years Later, Star Trek Still Can’t Figure Out What To Do With Its Most Powerful Ship
