Can you watch the Ted prequel series in the UK?
The series is available to watch in full on Peacock in the US.
Nine years after the second Ted movie landed in cinemas, and we last saw the sentient, ill-mannered teddy bear voiced by Seth MacFarlane, he's back on the small screen in a new show, titled Ted.
The prequel series landed in the US back in January and was a huge hit, becoming Peacock’s most-watched original title, according to Collider.
Naturally, many fans in the UK are wondering how they can catch up on the new adventures of Ted and John – thankfully, we now know that soon, they can.
Ted features an all-new cast, with Max Burkholder (Family Guy) taking over the role of John, who was originally played by Mark Wahlberg, while Euphoria's Alanna Ubach portrays John's mother, Susan, and American Dad's Scott Grimes appears as his father, Matty.
Meanwhile, MacFarlane returns to voice the titular bear.
