What is ‘Ted Lasso’ about?
Dig deeper:
The Ted Lasso character was first introduced by actor Jason Sudeikis in 2013 to promote NBC Sports' coverage of the England Premier League.
In a short movie, Lasso was the coach of London's Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. And it was apparent that Lasso didn't know much about soccer.

The concept came up to write a show around Lasso’s character, but it didn't happen until television producer and screenwriter Bill Lawrence helped get it picked up by Apple TV+.
"Ted Lasso" debuted in 2020 and tells the story of a silly American football coach who moves to England to lead a professional soccer team even though he has no knowledge about the sport.
The show became a fan-favorite and won seven Primetime Emmy Awards, including outstanding comedy series for its first two seasons, according to the Associated Press. In 2024, USA Today reported that Season 3 of the show ended in May 2023 and was rumored to be the final season.
The Source: Information for this was provided by the Associated Press, which reported the announcement from Apple TV+ that "Ted Lasso" was coming back for a fourth season. This story was reported from Washington, D.C.
