TED LASSO Star Juno Temple Says "Cogs Are Turning" on a Season 4 and She's Not Interested in a Spinoff: "It's a Team"

The Ted Lasso fanbase has been buzzing lately, since the video made by actor Nick Mohammed, who played Nate in the series, dropped and revealed a big ol’ hint that points to a fourth season heading into production soon.

Now, another star of the show, Juno Temple, who plays Keeley Jones in the series, has spoken up about what she’s hearing about Ted Lasso’s return, telling EW:

“I’ve heard the kind of stunt version of, yeah, potentially, it sounds like there might be a season 4. I don't know when. I don't know exactly who, what, why, where, but I think it sounds like those cogs are turning.” 

Temple addressed the rumors that her character could star in a spinoff, saying:

“The idea of a spinoff with Ted Lasso is a complicated one for me, because it so feels like a team that I don't know if I would want to do a spinoff,” Temple admits. “I don't want to be a part of it if everybody else isn't. It's a team. It's a real team!”

Still, there's plenty of Keeley's story left to tell after the events of season 3. Not only was she successfully running her own PR company, but she'd also submitted a proposal to AFC Richmond owner Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) to establish a Richmond women’s football club. The latter idea is something that Temple would be interested in exploring further, if given the chance.

“I haven't thought about that, but I think that's definitely something I would find to be a great journey for Keeley and also for Rebecca, you know?” Temple says.

“And I think, also, women's football is something that is so exciting — especially in England, we've been doing so well — but I think it's something that... I don't know, who knows? It would be a great storyline.”

Waddingham previously told EW that she was also keen to reprise her role as Rebecca but, like Temple, wouldn't be interested in her own spinoff series.

"It's not really something I've thought of. But if there were more to come I'd certainly entertain the idea. I'd be crazy not to," she said in 2023. "It's a beautifully crafted role that I've thankfully had a large hand in. I'm fully invested in her, so I would always entertain that."

I think things are sounding hopeful, and more Ted Lasso is just exactly what we all need right now. Stay tuned for updates.
