One can only imagine what’s in store with a talking bear, what with Mark Wahlberg, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson all on the same cast. Knowing MacFarlane’s knack for pop culture references on his television show _Family Guy_, we’re guessing there will be at least one reference to _Taken._ Fortunately, fans on the film have a little less than a year left to wait and see what MacFarlane has come up with. The film is set to come out June 26, 2015, [_Entertainment Weekly_](http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/09/24/liam-neeson-ted-2/ "undefined") reports. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3427105/liam-neeson-ted-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3427105/liam-neeson-ted-2/"},"headline":"Liam Neeson to Make an Appearance in Ted 2","datePublished":"2014-09-25T00:22:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:24:01.545Z","description":"Ted writer (and voice) Seth MacFarlane tweeted out a hint that the Oscar-nominated star could be in the film","url":"https://time.com/3427105/liam-neeson-ted-2/","keywords":["movies","entertainment","liam neeson","Ted"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdbd7d946f9e9c4d6/6986a54fd0b6f251863064bf/liam-neeson-e1468447631106.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdbd7d946f9e9c4d6/6986a54fd0b6f251863064bf/liam-neeson-e1468447631106.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Actor Liam Neeson attends the Universal Pictures and Cross Creek Pictures with The Cinema Society screening of \"A Walk Among the Tombstones\" at Chelsea Bow Tie Cinemas on Sept. 17, 2014 in New York City.","caption":"Actor Liam Neeson attends the Universal Pictures and Cross Creek Pictures with The Cinema Society screening of \"A Walk Among the Tombstones\" at Chelsea Bow Tie Cinemas on Sept. 17, 2014 in New York City.","creditText":"Stephen Lovekin—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3427105/liam-neeson-ted-2/","name":"Liam Neeson to Make an Appearance in Ted 2"}}]}] ```
