According to The Hollywood Reporter, co-creator of Apple TV’s Emmy-winning series Ted Lasso said the fourth installment is in Jason Sudeikis’s (We’re the Millers) hands. Although the series’ future is uncertain after the end of the third season in 2023, many are hopeful for another season of Ted Lasso. Bill Lawrence (Cougar Town) spoke with Collider about the future of the series and if there’ll be more to come.
Lawrence said, “Groupthink sometimes happens, even without talking to each other, and every actor, actress, writer, producer on that show — and we didn’t get together and decide this was the message — we all loved the experience. As fans, we’d all kill if it was going again, but everybody would say the same thing, which is: whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it.”
“Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children,” he added. “It’s a big deal. So, as a fan, if someone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s gonna happen again,’ I’ll go nuts. As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do.”
Ted Lasso follows an American college football coach with the same name. He is hired to be the coach of an English soccer team owner who secretly hopes his inexperience will lead it to failure. Sudeikis plays the role of Ted Lasso for the port comedy and also serves as the show’s head writer and co-creator.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, last year, Declan Lowney (Frank of Ireland), who directed the finale of season three, said that they would have continued the series “if the human cost wasn’t so great.
Lowney said, “Because every time we do a season, it’s a year in England, away from their families. That’s a tough old slog over the past three and a half years, four years. You know, I think that it [could have] kept going, but it had done its thing — the three-season arc, that was the deal, that was what Sudeikis wanted. But I feel there’s something else. … There will be other things.”
Ted Lasso is available to stream on Apple TV+.
