TED LASSO Season 3 Will End the Story They Wanted to Tell, But It Sets Up Potential Spinoffs
There’s been a lot of talk and speculation about Ted Lasso Season 3 and if it will truly be the last season of the show. According to Jason Sudeikis, the answer is yes. Season 3 will conclude the story they set out to tell with Ted Lasso, but it also sets up spinoff stories for other characters.
During a recent interview with Deadline, Sudeikis confirmed:
"This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell. The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don't even know yet – that being season 3 – it's flattering. Maybe by May 31, once all 12 episodes of the season [have been released], they're like, 'Man, you know what, we get it, we're fine. We don't need anymore, we got it.' But until that time comes, I will appreciate the curiosity beyond what we've come up with so far."
He then went on to talk about the potential of spinoff shows saying:
"Yeah, I think that we've set the table for all sorts of folks… to get to watch the further telling of these stories. Again, I can't help but take the question as flattery for what all of us that were working on the show has tried to do. It's really kind of folks to even consider that because you never know what's gonna happen when you make things. The fact that people want more, even if it's a different avenue is lovely."
Ted Lasso is just one of those few shows out there that brings a smile to my face and makes me feel happy. It would be great to have more of these stories, but in the meantime, I’m just excited about watching Season 3 and seeing how this wonderful underdog story comes to an end.
In this third season of Ted Lasso, “the newly-promoted AFC Richmond faces ridicule as media predictions widely peg them as last in the Premier League and Nate (Nick Mohammed), now hailed as the “wonder kid,” has gone to work for Rupert (Anthony Head) at West Ham United. In the wake of Nate’s contentious departure from Richmond, Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) steps up as assistant coach, alongside Beard (Brendan Hunt). Meanwhile, while Ted (Jason Sudeikis) deals with pressures at work, he continues to wrestle with his own personal issues back home, Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is focused on defeating Rupert and Keeley (Juno Temple) navigates being the boss of her own PR agency. Things seem to be falling apart both on and off the pitch, but Team Lasso is set to give it their best shot anyway.”
The series is set to premiere on March 15th! Are there any characters you’d like to see a spinoff focus on?
