Ted Lasso co-creator says show’s future lies with Jason Sudeikis: “I’m down for whatever he wants to do”

As a seasoned cinephile with over four decades of viewing under my belt, I must say that Ted Lasso has undeniably left a lasting impact on the small screen. The show’s unique blend of humor, heart, and football (soccer for my American friends) has resonated deeply with audiences worldwide.


Fans of the hit football comedy “Ted Lasso,” which aired its final season more than a year ago on Apple TV+, remain optimistic that the series might make a comeback someday.

It appears that the supporters aren’t the only ones expressing interest, as co-creator Bill Lawrence has expressed a willingness to produce additional episodes, provided that Jason Sudeikis agrees to participate.

Sudeikis, Lawrence, Hunt, and Kelly collectively developed the show. Brendan Hunt not only served as the head writer but also portrayed the main character – a motivational American football coach who significantly improves the performance of Richmond FC through his positive outlook.

In the emotionally charged Season 3 finale, Ted chose to depart from London and head back to America to manage his son Henry’s soccer team. However, there remains a possibility of a future comeback.

In a conversation with Collider regarding the series’ future, Lawrence acknowledged that everything hinged on Sudeikis.

He expressed, “We’d all be eager to repeat it if given the chance, but everyone would concur on this point – no matter what Jason chooses, we’re all ready and willing to go along with his decision.”

He mentioned: “He not only plays the leading role, but he’s also the primary scriptwriter. Moreover, his life is undergoing a drastic change, including relocation to a foreign land with kids of tender age.”

Previously this year, Warner Bros head Channing Dungey hinted that there might be a chance to revisit the ending if necessary, during an interview with Variety.

As someone who has been following the popular television series “Ted Lasso” since its debut, I can confidently say that there is still a lot of love for this show and its characters. With each new episode, the storylines become more engaging, the humor more relatable, and the performances more captivating. It’s clear that Apple has invested heavily in the production of this series, and it shows through the quality of the writing, directing, and acting.

If the chance presents itself, we’re eager to resume creating more… Ongoing discussions are happening, but nothing’s been formally set yet.

When asked about returning for a spin-off, Mohammed expressed his interest by saying: “Absolutely, I’d be delighted! The show was like a precious gift to us, and we’re all so thankful to have been a part of it. If the opportunity arises, I’d jump at the chance to contribute more, but also, many storylines reached satisfying conclusions for several characters. So, it’s a bit of a mixed feeling.”

“Things were arranged strangely, so I had to remain quiet since I had a habit of ruining surprises.”
