Building on their must-watch winter lineups, W Network and Showcase have added The ‘Burbs and Ted, Season 2 to their respective schedules. The full season of The ‘Burbs will be available to stream Sunday, February 8 on STACKTV ahead of the broadcast premiere on Thursday, February 12, 2026 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on W Network rolling out with two episodes for the first two weeks followed by one episode weekly. Meanwhile, Ted returns for Season 2 on Thursday, March 5 at 9 p.m. ET on Showcase and is also available to stream on STACKTV.

Inspired by the 1989 horror-comedy film of the same name and set in present-day suburbia, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple (Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall) who have reluctantly relocated to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when a new neighbour moves in across the street, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighbourhood. The ‘Burbs also stars Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar.

Celeste Hughey serves as creator, writer, and executive producer of the series. Writer/executive producer Rachel Shukert is also joined by executive producers Keke Palmer; Seth MacFarlane, Erica Huggins, Aimee Carlson (for Fuzzy Door); Brian Grazer, Kristen Zolner, Natalie Berkus (for Imagine Entertainment); and Nzingha Stewart, who also directs. The ‘Burbs is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group.

The hit comedic prequel series to the Ted films takes place in the ’90s. It’s 1994, and senior year of high school is underway for Ted (Seth MacFarlane) the foul-mouthed teddy bear and his best friend, likable but awkward John Bennett (Max Burkholder). Together they live in a working-class Boston home with John’s parents Matty and Susan and cousin Blaire (Giorgia Whigham). Matty (Scott Grimes) is a blustering, blue-collar Bostonian who sees himself as the unequivocal boss of the house and doesn’t like anyone challenging him, particularly his liberal-minded niece. Susan (Alanna Ubach) is kind, selfless, and almost pathologically sweet when it comes to caring for her family. Blaire is an outspoken college student who often finds herself at odds with her more traditional-minded relatives.

Seth MacFarlane serves as executive producer, writer, director, and co-showrunner. Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh also serve as executive producers, writers, and co-showrunners. Erica Huggins, Alana Kleiman, Jason Clark, Aimee Carlson (Fuzzy Door) are executive producers. Ted is produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, Fuzzy Door, and MRC.
