According to ComicBook, season three of Ted Lasso might not be the end of the franchise. Warner Bros. TV Group chairman, Channing Dungey (How to Get Away with Murder, Once Upon a Time) has said she hasn’t shut down the idea of continuing from a different angle.
In an interview with Variety, Dungey hinted positively towards a spin off.
“I mean, you watched the finale, there’s a little bit of a door that could be kicked back open if need be,” Dungey said “I wouldn’t put the period on the end of that sentence just yet. There is still a lot of love for Ted Lasso. And I think that there still is a lot of enthusiasm on the part of Apple for Ted Lasso. Should the opportunity arise, we’d be excited to jump back in to making more. There are always conversations that are ongoing, just nothing that’s official.”
According to ComicBook, since the series finale was year ago, most of the talks about a reboot are negative. However, according to ComicBook, earlier this month a rumor started that Jason Sudeikis (Saturday Night Live, Hall Pass) is very interested in returning as Ted Lasso.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Lesley Goldberg on TV’s Top 5 podcast, Goldberg talked about the direction of where they could potentially take the franchise.
“Obviously, the finale set up a couple of different possible spinoffs,” Goldberg said. “They’ve been mum about what’s going on there. I’ve heard through sources that Jason Sudeikis desperately misses that character. So, who knows if they’re going to find a way to bring him back with a fourth season of Ted Lasso or if they’re going to do another spinoff.”
According to ComicBook, there is no further information about a future return to the franchise at this time.
