The post, as seen above, is a behind-the-scenes photo from the read-through of the scripts for the next season of the hit prequel show, confirming that filming is right around the corner for the comedy. Grimes also teases a joke to come for Uncle Matty in season 2 in which he “may or may not be half naked” in the premiere episode.

While season 1 proved to be a hit for Peacock, Ted season 2 has a unique opportunity for the franchise by building on this for an even more successful follow-up. The last time MacFarlane looked to expand the fantasy comedy was 2015’s Ted 2 which, though still a box office success, was considered a general disappointment in comparison to the 2012 original, having grossed just over $215 million worldwide, roughly half of the first movie’s $549 million haul. Additionally, reviews proved far more mixed from critics and audiences alike, with both critic and audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes landing Rotten.

The biggest thing that brought the sequel down was not only the reliance on the juvenile humor audiences come to expect from a MacFarlane project, but even the recycling of certain jokes from Family Guy and underwhelming story. For season 2 to overcome the 2015 movie’s missteps, it will need to both offer the R-rated humor fans of the Ted franchise want, but also do something new and unique with its returning cast of characters.

Given Ted season 1 saw a lot of character growth for Grimes’ Matty and Giorgia Whigham’s Blaire as she worked with him to overcome his outdated beliefs while also embracing her own future and sexual identity, season 2 should take a similar approach to John, Susan and Ted. Though it still has to wrestle with the continuity of the Ted movies, there are still plenty of ways for the prequel to deliver meaningful storylines for the group, including John’s potential college years, a building of his dating life prior to Mila Kunis’ Lori and Amanda Seyfried’s Sam and Susan finding further agency in her life after season 1 briefly saw this arc with her returning to teaching.
