“Ted” Sets Record Viewership For Sky Max
Seth MacFarlane’s Ted has already been announced as a resounding success here in the United States, setting all sorts of viewership records on Peacock. Turns out, this success isn’t a domestic-only issue and now UK’s Sky Max has announced that the comedy series averaged 1.38 million viewers a week over the show’s seven episodes, making it the biggest US comedy launch over the last 20 years.
Read our review of the first season of Ted here.
Synopsis:
By 1993, Ted the foul-mouthed teddy bear’s moment of fame has passed. He’s moved back in with his best friend, likable but awkward 16-year-old John Bennett, who lives in a working-class Boston home with his parents, Matty and Susan, and cousin Blaire. Matty’s a blustering, blue-collar Bostonian who thinks he’s the unequivocal boss of the house and doesn’t like anyone challenging him, particularly his liberal-minded niece. Susan is kind, selfless and almost pathologically sweet when it comes to caring for her family. Blaire is a smart and politically correct college student who’s not afraid to speak her mind and frequently clashes with her more traditionalist family.

"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
