Ted Lasso has come back for the fourth season. Ahead of its episode two premiere, the lead, Jason Sudeikis, debunked a heavily speculated spin-off theory.
Ted Lasso was originally a three-season series. However, with the co-creators eager to continue, the show was renewed for season 4. Sudeikis, who plays Ted Lasso, will return to his role as a professional soccer coach for a women’s team. This particular storyline, according to speculation, was originally pitched as a spin-off show.
In a recent interview with Liam Crowley of ScreenRant, Sudeikis was asked about the truth behind the rumors. He immediately denied the claims by saying, “Oh gosh. Well, that was never true. The whole end montage was with the spirit and the idea definitely being that the show was over, but to leave some things open-ended and let people—fans of the show or even the more creative lot that like to do their own sort of fiction—whether for others to consume or just for each other. Here are a bunch of launching-off points for you.”
He continued, “[A spinoff] was never the case, but eventually, at some point when the desire to come back was a clearer path for us, it was a no-brainer that it was going to be the women’s team. We had a few dalliances of, ‘Oh! Would it be maybe over here in the States?’ But it just felt right once we figured out the reason why Ted would go back, because that happens all the time. You leave places, you go back to places, see what happens and who’s changed and what’s changed.”
