Per mercwiththemovies:
Alanna Ubach (“Coco”) has joined the cast of Peacock’s “Ted” tv series. She joins a cast that includes a returning Seth MacFarlane as the voice of Ted, Max Burkholder (“Parenthood”), Giorgia Whigham (“The Punisher”) and Scott Grimes (“American Dad!”). MacFarlane will write and direct every episode.
The series will be a prequel to the films, being set in 1993 and will follow Ted, after his moment in the limelight has faded, and a 16-year John Bennett (Burkholder). They live in a working-class Boston home and the two are best friends who stick together no matter what, even if Ted isn’t the best influence.
Ubach will play Susan Bennett, John’s mom, who is kind, selfless and almost pathologically sweet when it comes to caring for her family, and sees the world through naive, rose-colored glasses. Grimes will be playing John’s father, Matty Bennett, who is described as a blue-collar Bostonian who likes to be the boss of the family.
Whigham will be playing Blaire Bennett, John’s smart and outspoken cousin who is living with the family while going to college.
