So where does Deku get his character from? What inspired Horikoshi to write a protagonist who can take unlimited beatings? In a 2019 interview, the author opened up about how he subconsciously affected all his major differences.

One of the last trio of entries to be included in the competition was completely off our radar. Actor turned director Emanuel Pârvu‘s third feature film received a highly coveted spot for a Cannes first-timer with Three Kilometres to the End of the World. His debut feature Meda or the Not So Bright Side of Things (2017) was a Sarajevo Film Festival world premiere but his 2021 title Mikado got some clout with a showing at the San Sebastian.

To celebrate the anticipated release of Ted, the new series from Seth Macfarlane coming to streaming this month, we had the chance to chat to some of the new cast and writers who have helped bring the foul-mouthed bear back to life.
Set in 1993, after the opening sequence in Ted (2012), the series depicts the early life of a sentient teddy bear toy named Ted, as he lives with John Bennett (Max Burkholder) and his family in Massachusetts. In addition to John and Ted, the Bennett household includes John’s father Matty (Scott Grimes), his mother Susan (Alanna Ubach), and his cousin, Blaire (Giorgia Whigham), who is living with them while attending a college nearby.
Chatting with stars Max Burkholder and Giorgia Wigham, and writers Brad Walsh and Paul Corrigan, we chat about working with Macfarlane and his unique genius for comedy, why Ted still resonates ten years after the first...

Whereas splatter movies wield gore and carnage like a weapon to evoke a visceral response, splatter comedies push the onscreen violence and gore into outlandish territory for the sake of a hearty laugh. Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi, for example, began their filmmaking careers defining the modern splatter comedy with their early works, pushing the boundaries of taste, horror, and humor through cartoonish bloodletting.
This week brings the arrival of a new splatter-comedy, Destroy All Neighbors, presenting the perfect excuse to laugh your way through the excess entrails and arterial spray the niche subgenre has to offer. These five splatter comedies vary in style and tone, but all seek to tickle your funny bone through humor, fun, and a whole lot of guts.
Here’s where you can stream them this week.

Hannah Waddingham has gushed that Tom Cruise is "gorgeous" to work with.The 'Ted Lasso' star, 49, was not willing to reveal any plot details about their upcoming flick, 'Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning – Part Two’ and quipped that she will get "fractionally vilified for saying something nice" about the Hollywood star again.Speaking to Deadline at the Golden Globes at Los Angeles' Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday (07.01.24), she said: "He's a fabulous person, great to work with. "It's hilarious to be fractionally vilified for saying something nice. What have we become if we can't say something nice? He's gorgeous, as is Chris McQuarrie, the director."During an appearance on the Christmas 2023 edition of ITV’s 'James Martin’s Saturday Morning', Hannah defended Tom, 61, against his critics after spending several days filming with him "intensely".She said: “I have to say, I have a real problem with anybody that goes at [Tom Cruise] now.

Seth Macfarlane has confirmed that the new The Naked Gun has survived the chaos of last year’s strikes and is still in development.
In 2021, it was announced that Seth Macfarlane would be taking on a reboot/remake of The Naked Gun films, the beloved police spoofs that starred the great Leslie Nielsen (for which there was once an official fourth movie planned too – we wrote about here). None other than Liam Neeson was attached to star (after Ed Helms had been linked for years) and we all sat back to see just what would unfold.
Even Liam Neeson himself seemed somewhat bemused by the turn of events, stating “It’ll either finish my career or bring it in another direction. I honestly don’t know.”
Things moved pretty slowly throughout 2022 and then in 2023 we had months of chaos as the strikes in Hollywood sank lots of projects that were in development.

Heading into the 2024 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 7, “Succession” was the show to beat as it scored a record nine nominations — more than any other television show in history. Some of the other top nominees on the TV side were “The Bear” and “Only Murders in the Building” with five noms apiece, and “The Crown” with four bids. But which shows ended up being the big winners during the three-hour ceremony?

The Television Academy started to hand out its Creative Arts Emmy Awards Saturday, which will continue Sunday at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live, after being pushed from its September window due to the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Also during Saturday’s ceremony, HBO’s The White Lotus, FX’s The Bear and Netflix’s Wednesday collected four awards apiece.

Mark Wahlberg once shared that his wife Rhea Durham was a little concerned about her husband’s future when he collaborated with Seth MacFarlane. Durham felt doing a comedy like Ted might’ve done her husband’s career little favors.

MacFarlane switched from animation to live-action with his directorial debut Ted. The 2012 feature followed Wahlberg’s antics with a sentient teddy bear who was also voiced by the Family Guy creator. Wahlberg had no idea MacFarlane was connected to his hit animated series. He was convinced to do the project based on the script alone. Family Guy, however, only further sold Wahlberg on MacFarlane’s talents.

The new year is a great time to be a subscriber to Peacock as not only is the NBCUniversal streaming service home to great movies and buzzy originals, but it also is the streaming home to the NBC on NFL, which for the first time ever, will include a Peacock-exclusive Wild Card game. In addition, the Hallmark Channel will not only have four original movies, but will also debut Season 2 of its hit original series “The Way Home.” The NBCU streamer is also home to original and exclusive Peacock series, and the next-day streaming of shows from across the NBCU family of networks, it is a good time to sign up for either a Peacock Premium ($5.99) or Peacock Premium Plus ($11.99) plan.

You can almost invariably find your favorite actor’s best performances in their TV gigs, lead or not. There’s something about either maintaining a personality or convincingly growing through a transformation that needs a unique commitment. And that’s something a lot of big names in movies are often intimidated by. The abundance of critically acclaimed shows in 2023 has made it even more of a challenge to limit my favorites on this list of the best. So I’d leave it up to you to imagine the kind of impact the following performances must have had.
Phil Dunster In ‘Ted Lasso’
Even if the saccharine-sweet vibe of Apple TV’s Ted Lasso is not something you dig, you have to admit that Phil Dunster’s performance in the latest season was nothing short of extraordinary. With his character Jamie Tartt having the best character arc in the entire show,...

Will the SAG Awards be the final bows for “Succession” and “Ted Lasso”? The two series have been the very definition of early 2020s awards juggernauts, particularly at the Emmys. But both shows wrapped their final seasons in 2023, which means we’re in the last gasps of awards eligibility for both.
When the 30th annual SAG Awards take place on Feb. 24, we’ll already know how “Succession” and “Ted Lasso” did at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, Primetime Emmys and DGA Awards. It’s quite possible those series stars’ tuxedos and dresses are going to be pretty wrinkly by the time we get to the SAG Awards. (They’ll have one more chance at the WGA Awards in April.)
The SAGs may be the most important event of all for the stars of “Succession” and “Ted Lasso.” These are tightknit casts who made two of the best — and most awarded — shows of the decade.

Austin Butler in Apple TV+’s ‘Masters of the Air’
The 2023-2024 primetime television season looked nothing like previous years, with reruns, unscripted shows, and international imports populating broadcast networks’ lineups. The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, though undeniably justified, took quite a toll on all the networks. Fortunately, the strikes have been settled, production has begun on nearly every new and returning series, and the midseason January lineup hints that things are slowly returning to normal.
Here’s a look at the shows scheduled to launch their new season – or series – premieres in January 2024. NBC’s Chicago shows – Chicago Fire, Med, and P.D. – will kick off new seasons on January 17th, with the Law & Order franchises returning on January 18th.

After years of turning in memorable comedic performances, Sam Richardson is angling to nab his first career Emmy Award. He has the chance to do it this year with his nomination for Best Comedy Guest Actor for playing Ghanaian billionaire Edwin Akufo on the Apple TV hit, “Ted Lasso.”
Richardson’s nominated episode is “International Break.” Sam (Toheeb Jimoh) goes to his restaurant to find it empty, despite having a full slate of reservations for the night. Akufo reveals himself and shows that his grudge against Sam is still alive through constant belittling and insults. He tells Sam that he still plans on destroying his life by opening a better Nigerian restaurant nearby and that he kept Sam off the Nigerian national team by writing a substantial check to the country’s government in exchange for blacklisting Sam.

Premiering last summer, “The Bear” has become the most-watched comedy series in FX history. Season 1 amassed a total of 13 Emmy nominations, making it the third most-nominated comedy this year behind “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (14) and “Ted Lasso” (21). Included as part of their showcase is Jon Bernthal for Best Comedy Guest Actor for his performance as Michael “Mikey” Berzatto, his first Emmy bid after over 20 years working in the industry.
Like many actors, Bernthal’s first television appearance was in the “Law & Order” franchise on the spinoff “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” in 2002. After many appearances on a number of network dramas and sitcoms, he became known for his role as Shane Walsh in the first two seasons of “The Walking Dead,” and went on to work with such revered film directors as Martin Scorsese (“The Wolf of Wall Street”), Denis Villeneuve (“Sicario”) and Edgar Wright (“Baby Driver”).

Ayo Edebiri‘s upgrade to lead for Season 2 of “The Bear” has already cooked up some good results. She earned her inaugural Golden Globe nomination in Best TV Comedy/Musical Actress, setting up the FX hit to achieve a rare Globe hat trick: sweeping three comedy categories in the same year.
And “The Bear” is expected to do just that in the early odds, sitting in first place in Best Comedy/Musical Series, Best TV Comedy/Musical Actress for Edebiri and Best TV Comedy/Musical Actor for Jeremy Allen White. The last show to accomplish this was “30 Rock” in 2009. The NBC comedy won its only series Globe then and earned lead acting honors for Tina Fey (her second of two) and Alec Baldwin (his second of three). Prior to this, you have to go all the way back to 1993 for another comedy triple play, when “Roseanne” and stars Roseanne Barr and John Goodman prevailed.

"Ted" is a new 7-episode live-action 'event' comedy TV series created by Seth MacFarlane ("Family Guy"), as a prequel to Macfarlane's "Ted" feature (2012) and "Ted 2" (2015), now starring Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes and Giorgia Whigham, streaming January 11, 2024 on Peacock:
"...it’s 1993, and 'Ted' the bear’s moment of fame has passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, ''John Bennett' (Max Burkholder), along with John’s parents, 'Matty', 'Susan' and cousin 'Blaire'. 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..."
According to MacFarlane, ".... in the fifties, it was the bold brushwork of the abstract expressionists. Our generation’s unique art is streaming content based on previously successful intellectual property. In that proud tradition,...

Spellbound and John Lasseter – Pictures: Skydance Animation and GettyImages
Skydance Animation, which ex-Pixar head John Lasseter currently heads, unceremoniously dropped its seemingly homely, animated feature deal at Apple TV for a partnership with Netflix back in November 2023.
Netflix’s Original animated feature output has long been a discussion point of the industry.

Skydance Animation, which ex-Pixar head John Lasseter currently heads, unceremoniously dropped its seemingly homely, animated feature deal at Apple TV for a partnership with Netflix back in November 2023.
Netflix’s Original animated feature output has long been a discussion point of the industry.

"Ted" is a new 7-episode live-action 'event' comedy TV series created by Seth MacFarlane ("Family Guy"), as a prequel to Macfarlane's "Ted" feature (2012) and "Ted 2" (2015), now starring Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes and Giorgia Whigham, streaming January 11, 2024 on Peacock:

It promises to take fans “on a hilarious R-rated journey back to the ’90s” along with more of the concept’s signature raunchy humor, eye-popping special effects and a fresh cast of characters played by Max Burkholder (“Parenthood”), Alanna Ubach (“Euphoria”), Scott Grimes (“The Orville”) and Giorgia Whigham (“13 Reasons Why”). They join the iconic teddy bear, Ted, voiced as in the movies by MacFarlane. Watch the trailer above.

"It's the 90s, times are changing!" Peacock has revealed the main official trailer for their streaming series bringing back the lovable foul-mouthed teddy bear Ted. Created by, co-written, co-showrun, and directed by Seth MacFarlane, who made the original two movies, this Ted is a prequel set in 1993 before the events of the two movies. Everyone in 2012 probably remembers the huge buzz around the original Ted movie, which ended up making $549M worldwide at the box office that year. Now 11 years later they're bringing him back. "[While] it takes place in the 90s but is based on the timeless truth that being sixteen sucks. The three of us were teenagers in the nineties and grew up in and around Boston, where the show takes place. So many of these stories are personal for us," MacFarlane, Corrigan & Walsh said. The series stars Max Burkholder as John (as Mark Wahlberg's character), Scott Grimes...

The Orville has one of the strangest runs in TV history.
The comedy-drama debuted on Fox in 2017 and was quickly renewed for a second season.
The Orville Season 2 launched an entire year on from its freshman finale, which is pretty much unheard of by broadcast TV standards.
Then, the series locked in a 10-episode renewal... with the caveat that it would air as a Hulu exclusive.
However, the wait for fresh episodes was over three years.
Now, 14 months from the end of The Orville Season 3, there have been vague hints about the show's future... until now.
Adrianne Palicki, who has been with the series since its premiere, has seemingly thrown cold water over potential new seasons of the Fox-turned-Hulu show.
While appearing on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You podcast, she said, "No, not doing that," when asked about the potential of The Orville coming back.

Ted TV series trailer: Seth MacFarlane returns to the 90s for a crude coming-of-age comedy flashback
Peacock‘s original event series, Ted, brings you back to the 1990s when Alice in Chains, Cypress Hill, and Snoop Dogg helped shape a generation of digital natives. Ted hails from Family Guy and The Orville creator Seth MacFarlane, with Max Burkholder playing John Bennett, the role played by Mark Wahlberg in MacFarlane’s 2012 comedy. The Ted TV series trailer finds John and Ted (voiced by MacFarlane) attending a hellscape of judgment, adolescent depression, and taboo exploration, otherwise known as high school.
Here’s the official synopsis for Ted courtesy of Peacock:
In this comedic prequel event series to the Ted films, it’s 1993, and Ted the bear’s (Seth MacFarlane) moment of fame has passed.

After the big screen delivered the marijuana and beer-fueled antics of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) and his living teddy bear in Seth MacFarlane's "Ted" franchise, the raunchy debauchery of the longtime friends is coming to Peacock in the form of a prequel TV series. Thankfully, since this is streaming, "Ted" can be just as raunchy as the movies. However, because this is a prequel series, there's no Mark Wahlberg screwing around with Ted. Instead, we have a 16-year-old John Bennett (Max Burkholder) enduring the trials and tribulations of high school with Ted by his side, and having a living teddy bear as your best friend in school goes about as well as you'd expect for a teenager in the 1990s.
The "Ted" trailer (watch above) just debuted from Peacock, giving us a blend of your average sitcom with the R-rated comedy of a cable series. After riding a wave...

Ever wondered what happened to John and Ted during their younger years?
That's exactly the gist of Peacock's new series that takes place several years before the two big-screen Ted movies.
The official trailer went public today, which takes us back to 1993 when John is struggling to come to terms with the pressures of being a teenager.
As for Ted, he's being his crude self and is not impressed about being sent to school.
As expected, there's pushback for Ted as he tries to get acclimated to school life, with one student even comparing him to a dog.
That isn't nice, but in true Ted fashion, he isn't ready to allow someone to talk down to him in school.
There's plenty of the signature wit from the movies, but there's this concern that the show won't be able to sustain that level of humor over a seven-episode season.

It’s been over ten years since “Ted” hit theaters in 2012. Ushering in a big R-rated comedy hit for creator Seth MacFarlane and star Mark Wahlberg, it’s still the 12th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. Directed, written, and voiced by MacFarlane, the “Ted” premise was simple. John Bennett is a man whose childhood wish of bringing his teddy bear to life came true. “Ted 2” arrived in 2015.

The official trailer for Peacock’s upcoming Ted series has dropped, and it gives viewers a clearer look at how Ted the Bear and his best friend John Bennett try to survive the awkwardness of high school in the 1990s.
Created by Seth MacFarlane, the R-rated series — at least from the trailer — seems to hit all the right nostalgia notes with music from The Proclaimers, lots of big hair, piano key neckties and a brief glimpse of a classic Volkswagen Golf convertible.
The series takes place in 1993, right after Ted’s moment of fame has passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts, with his best friend John. In the clip, we see Ted (voiced by MacFarlane) and John (Max Burkholder) negotiating school without much success but also trying to get laid and high, all the things audiences have come to expect from the comedy franchise.

After a three year run playing Keeley Jones on “Ted Lasso” that earned her three Primetime Emmy nominations, Juno Temple’s role in the critically acclaimed Season 5 of “Fargo” should keep her in the prestige TV limelight for another awards season. Both shows saw the British actress stretch her acting chops to perform in an unfamiliar dialect — and working on both shows at the same time came with its own slate of unexpected challenges.
In a new interview with Business Insider, Temple recalled doing the work of developing her Minnesota accent to play Dorothy “Dot” Lyon on “Fargo” while simultaneously filming “Ted Lasso” with her character’s distinct Essex accent. While she eventually learned to keep the voices separate, the actress admits to having some initial confusion.
“I remember when I first started doing dialect sessions, I was still doing Season 3 of ‘Ted Lasso,’ so I was speaking Essex, while...

Seth MacFarlane’s foul-mouthed bear Ted is back with a message for his future self.
“Dear future Ted, it’s me, 1993 Ted. If you’re reading this, it means we got a new series on the most successful streaming platform ever,” he says, before his future self quips — “Eh, we got a new series.”
“Is the future amazing? I bet NASA sends people to the moon all the time,” 1993 Ted adds, to which his future self replies: “Moon colony? Negative. Unlimited porn in our pockets? Check.”
“Anyway, I can’t wait to see your world of flying cars, normal weather and new TV characters that don’t just rehash old stuff,” 1993 Ted concludes his letter, to which future Ted jokes: “Poor bum, had so much hope.”

Peacock is finally ready to show the world Ted, its event series from Seth MacFarlane.
All seven episodes of Ted, including a supersized premiere, will debut Jan. 11, 2024 on the streamer. The event series serves as a prequel to the film franchise and will take fans on a “hilarious R-rated nostalgic journey back to the 90s,” according to Peacock.
The fresh cast of characters include Max Burkholder (Parenthood), Alanna Ubach (Euphoria), Scott Grimes (The Orville) and Giorgia Whigham (13 Reasons Why) while MacFarlane will continue to voice Ted.
Peacock first made the straight-to-series order for Ted in 2021.
Here’s the logline: “It’s 1993, and Ted the bear’s moment of fame has passed. He’s now living back home in Framingham, Massachusetts with his best friend, 16-year-old John Bennett (Burkholder), along with John’s parents, Matty and Susan (Grimes and Ubach) and cousin Blaire (Whigham). Ted may be a lousy influence on John,...
