Brendan Hunt Teases That Fans Will See Some Origin Stories in Season 3 of TED LASSO
Ted Lasso is arguably one of the best shows on TV right now. It came right when we needed a boost of positivity, and the writing and stars delivered more than we could have asked for. The first two seasons were fantastic, and we are ready for a third.
One of the show’s creators, Brendan Hunt, who also plays Coach Beard in the series, gave fans a very small tease about what we could expect from the upcoming storylines. Hunt, along with co-stars and fellow writers on the series Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) and Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), appeared on a virtual panel at the in-person SXSW festival. The stars were not told about the Texas time-change that occurred on Sunday, and ended up Zooming from the back of cars as they moved from one location to the Ted Lasso locker room.
“It’s a f*cking disaster,” joked Goldstein, who cut out periodically as he went through a tunnel. “I’m trying to figure out what the f*ck is going on right now,” he said at another point.
One they got situated, the trio didn’t give much away about season three of the show, but Hunt did tease that viewers will see a bit more of the origin story between Hannah Waddingham’s Rebecca Welton and her cheating ex-husband, Rupert Mannion, played by Anthony Head, saying:
“I think we might see more of people’s origin stories in season three.”
The series, which is based on the popular Coach Ted Lasso character Sudeikis played in NBC Sports videos several years ago, follows the AFC Richmond leader and his team. Jeremy Swift, Juno Temple, Phil Dunster, and Nick Mohammed also star.
The first two seasons aired in the summer, but Apple TV+ has said it’s not clear whether they will return this August. We will keep you posted on all things Ted Lasso as it becomes available. While we wait, Seasons1 and 2 are available to watch again.
