The first-come first-serve event will take place on Friday, March 6th and Saturday, March 7th.
Ted fans will have the chance to party like it's 1994 next month, courtesy of Peacock. To kick off a new season of the comedy series, the streamer will hold a themed New York City "house party" at The Gutter in the Lower East Side.
The first-come first-serve event will be open to all guests 18+ until 7 PM (21+ after 7 PM) on Friday, March 6th, from 4 PM to 1 AM, and Saturday, March 7th, from 1 PM to 1 AM. All episodes of the new season will arrive on March 5, 2026, on Peacock.
The limited-run experience will be imbued with '90s "analog charm" inspired by the series, and will feature bowling with a Ted-twist, classic games, easter eggs, nostalgic throwbacks, exclusive clips and additional surprises. Ted and John’s Mind In The Gutter Party is being created by Peacock in collaboration with NVE Experience Agency and Fuzzy Door Productions.
The hit comedic prequel series to the Ted films picks up in 1994, and Ted the bear’s (MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts, with his Best Friend, 17-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder), along with John’s parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach) and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). Ted may be a lousy influence on John, but at the end of the day, he’s a loyal pal who’s always willing to go out on a limb for friendship.
Following its January 11, 2024 launch, season one of Ted broke records as Peacock’s most-watched original title and was the #1 Original Streaming Comedy in the U.S. for more than two consecutive months (Per Nielsen). The series was also a global hit, becoming the biggest U.S. comedy launch on Sky in the UK in 15 years.
MacFarlane serves as executive producer, writer, director and co-showrunner on the series, with Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh also executive producers, writers, and co-showrunners.
In addition to the live-action prequel series, Peacock is expanding the Ted universe with the upcoming Ted: The Animated Series (WT), which will pick up where the Ted films left off and will feature Seth MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Kyle Mooney, and Liz Richman voicing the roles. Both series are produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, Fuzzy Door, and MRC, the latter of which also produced the original Ted films.
