Jason Sudeikis Says There's "Absolutely" Room For a "Ted Lasso" Spinoff

Most of the main cast were featured in the teaser for the third season. That includes Sudeikis, Goldstein, Hunt, and Waddingham, plus Jimoh as Sam Obisanya, Juno Temple as Keeley Jones, Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins, Phil Dunster as Jamie Tartt, Cristo Fernández as Dani Rojas, and Kola Bokinni as Isaac McAdoo. Mohammed returns as Nate Shelley, and Head reprises his role as Rebecca's ex Rupert Mannion.

There's also the rest of the AFC Richmond team: Billy Harris as Colin Hughes, Stephen Manas as Richard Montlaur, Moe Jeudy-Lamour as Thierry Zoreaux, David Elsendoorn as Jan Maas, and Mohammed Hashim as Moe Bumbercatch. Plus, former sports reporter Trent Crimm (James Lance) is back in the fold. Sarah Niles also returns as sports psychologist Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, and Andrea Anders reprises her role as Ted's ex-wife, Michelle.

At SXSW in March 2022, Hunt teased that season three will show viewers more of the origin stories for characters, including the history of Rebecca and her ex-husband, Rupert.

There's also some major drama from season two that still needs resolving. Nate left the team at the end of the season, moving to West Ham United, which is now owned by Rupert. Meanwhile, Roy was feeling insecure in his relationship with Keeley, and it's possible a breakup is on the horizon for the pair. Ted's mental health struggles became public knowledge in the last episodes, and it's unclear what the fallout will be for the team and his career. Rebecca also called off her relationship with Sam, but it's always possible they reconcile.

"Ted Lasso" season three premiered on 15 March on Apple TV+. New episodes are released on Wednesdays, with season three ending with the 12th episode on 31 May.

"Ted Lasso" seems to be ending after season three, though no official statement from Apple TV+ or the cast and crew has confirmed that yet.

Hunt and Sudeikis told the "Today" show back in 2021 that they originally imagined the show running for three seasons with a clear beginning, middle, and end, but they said the plan could change going forward. Similarly, Sudeikis told Entertainment Weekly in 2021 that the show has a "three-season arc."

When asked at the 2022 Emmy Awards if season three would be the end for "Ted Lasso," Waddingham told "E! Live From the Red Carpet" host Loni Love, "I don't know. I actually don't know. I think that it might be in terms of like an end of a story. But who knows? We'll put Jason [Sudeikis] in a darkened room with a notepad and a paper and go, 'Do it!'"

In an interview with The Sunday Times in June 2022, star Goldstein claimed that season three of the show will be its last. "We are writing it like that," he said. "It was planned as three. Spoiler alert — everyone dies." However, the actor was slightly less affirmative while chatting with reporters after winning the 2022 Emmy for supporting actor in a comedy series two months later, however.

"Truly the plan is entirely in Jason's hands," he said. "I know that all of us would happily do this for 20 years and maybe then say, 'We need to wrap it up. These footballers are all on crutches. We're really stringing this out.' It's entirely up to Jason. In theory, we've been writing this like it's the end but it might not be. Who knows? I'd probably get killed if I say anything else, but I also don't know."

Sudeikis has also been open to the idea of a spinoff, but no official word has been announced about that either.

Season three of "Ted Lasso" started filming on 7 March in London. Many exterior scenes are filmed in the real-life Richmond and its neighbouring town Twickenham. AFC Richmond's training grounds are the actual home of Hayes & Yeading FC, whil the stadium where Richmond plays its home games, called the "dog pound" on the show, is actually Selhurst Park, the home of the actual Premier League club Crystal Palace. On the show, Richmond played a fictional version of Crystal Palace in season one.
