PEACOCK ANNOUNCES ALANNA UBACH TO ROUND OUT SERIES REGULARS IN SETH MACFARLANE’S ” TED “

Peacock announced today Alanna Ubach (Euphoria, Bombshell) will round out the series regular cast starring in Seth MacFarlane’s upcoming comedy series TED, the highly-anticipated live-action comedy series based on the blockbuster film franchise.

Ubach will play the role of “Susan Bennett.”  Susan is kind, selfless, and almost pathologically sweet when it comes to caring for her family, and sees the world through naive, rose-colored glasses.

MacFarlane (The Orville, Ted & Ted 2, Family Guy) is set to reprise the voice of the iconic and loveable foul-mouthed teddy bear Ted, and will also direct, write, co-showrun and executive produce all episodes alongside co-showrunners, writers and executive producers Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh (Modern Family).

Peacock also previously announced series regular stars Giorgia Whigham (The Punisher, 13 Reasons Why), Max Burkholder (Parenthood) and Scott Grimes (Oppenheimer, The Orville).

The series comes from MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door and will be executive produced by President Erica Huggins. Alana Kleiman and Jason Clark will also serve as executive producers.  Clark is returning after producing the iconic TED film franchise.   The upcoming series comes from UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, and MRC Television.

About the new series, TED: It’s 1993 and Ted the bear’s moment of fame has passed, leaving him living with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett, who lives in a working-class Boston home with his parents and cousin. Ted may not be the best influence on John, but when it comes right down to it, Ted’s willing to go out on a limb to help his friend and his family.  The series is based on the hit Universal Pictures and MRC Film TED, the highest grossing original R-rated comedy of all time (not a sequel or based on other IP). Collectively, TED and TED 2 grossed more than $750 million worldwide.
