Peacock will bring back its Seth MacFarlane-produced comedy series Ted for a second season.

The streaming service said in a social media post that the show, which follows the exploits of a talking, foul-mouthed stuffed bear and his high school friend, will return for a sophomore campaign, although no premiere date was announced. The series is a prequel to the popular Ted movie franchise starring Mark Wahlberg. 

The first season, which debuted this past January, finished as Peacock's most-watched original series, according to Nielsen numbers provided by the streaming service. 

Starring in the series are MacFarlane as the voice of Ted, Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes and Giorgia Whigham. 

Ted is executive-produced by MacFarlane, Paul Corrigan, Brad Walsh, Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark, and Aimee Carlson.
