Rumors that Ted Lasso Season 3 may be the end of the award-winning Apple TV+ dramedy may be true.
In a new interview with Deadline, Jason Sudeikis dropped the surprising admission.
“This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we hoped to tell, that we loved to tell,” he told the outlet while promoting Ted Lasso Season 3.
The actor and co-producer admit that fans want more from a third season, but he thinks that could change after seeing the upcoming seasons.
Sudeikis said, “The fact that people want more and are more curious than what they don’t know yet—it’s Season 3—is flattering.”
“Probably by May 31, all 12 episodes of the season at once [are out], they say, ‘Man, you know what, we got it, we’re fine. We don’t need it anymore, we got it.'”
“But until that time comes, I would appreciate curiosity beyond what I’ve come up with so far.”
While the original series is likely to end after these next 12 episodes, Sudeikis is open to the possibility of keeping the franchise alive.
“I think we’ve set the table for all kinds of people to look forward to these stories,” he said.
“Again, I can’t help but take the question as flattering than what all of us working on the show have tried to do.”
“It’s really kind people to consider because you never know what’s going to happen when you build things,” he said.
“The fact that people want more, even if it’s a different avenue, is lovely.”
For now, Ted Lasso Season 3 premieres on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, March 15.
In Ted Lasso’s 12-episode third season, newly-promoted AFC Richmond face ridicule as media predictions widely peg them as last in the Premier League and Nate (Nick Mohammed), now known as the “Wonder Kid” “Known as. To work for Rupert (Anthony Head) at West Ham United,” the logline reads.
“In the wake of Nate’s controversial departure from Richmond, Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) steps in as assistant coach alongside Beard (Brendan Hunt).”
“Meanwhile, while Ted (Jason Sudeikis) deals with the pressures of work, he continues to wrestle with his personal issues back home, Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is focused on defeating Rupert, and Keeley (Juno Temple) is focused on her Being the boss navigating your own PR agency,” Apple teases.
“Things seem to be falling apart on and off the pitch, but Team Lasso stand ready to give it their best shot anyway.”
