Universal will release “Ted 2,” the sequel to Seth MacFarlane‘s hit movie, on June 26, 2015, the studio announced on Wednesday.
It has been a foregone conclusion that MacFarlane would make another “Ted” as that film, MacFarlane’s first, grossed $54 million in its opening weekend en route to almost $550 million worldwide. The R-rated comedy was Universal’s biggest hit of 2012.
Yet the studio has been cagey about when the movie would come, and whether it would be involved. The project resides with Media Rights Capital, the studio behind “House of Cards” that has a deal with Universal on the film side.
