'''''Ted 2''''' (stylized as '''''ted2''''') is a 2015 American fantasy comedy film. The sequel to ''Ted'' (2012), the film was co-produced and directed again by Seth MacFarlane, who co-wrote the script with returning writers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. The film follows the talking teddy bear Ted (voiced again by MacFarlane) as he fights for his civil rights in order to be recognized as a person and not as property so he can adopt a child. In addition to MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg, Giovanni Ribisi, and Jessica Barth also reprise their roles from the first film, with Amanda Seyfried, John Slattery, and Morgan Freeman joining the cast.

Principal photography began in Massachusetts in July 2014. ''Ted 2'' was released on June 26, 2015, by Universal Pictures. Despite the film failing to achieve the critical and commercial success of its predecessor, it still became a box office success, grossing $215.9 million on a $68 million budget.

In January 2024, a prequel television series began streaming on Peacock, while an animated series serving as a follow-up to the films is currently in development.
