Ted Lasso star ‘praying for series four, five & six’ of award-winning show – with Jason Sudeikis reportedly ready to bring AFC Richmond back

Season three of the award-winning production was brought to a close in May 2023. The final episode saw title character Ted return to the United States as a memorable coaching adventure in English football came to an end.

There has been talk of the show returning to small screens, with Warner Bros taking up contract options on three main characters. Sudeikis, as one of the writers, would need to be on board in order for AFC Richmond to enjoy a revival.

Several other stars, including Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple, have spoken of their delight at hearing the return rumours. Griffith, who plays a sports journalist that regularly attends Lasso’s press conferences, has told the Sunday Post of seeing Ted brought back to life: “I’m a tiny little part in this huge machine, but everyone was as lovely as they were on screen. I’m praying for a series four, five and six because it’s the dreamiest gig.”

He added on his experience within a cast that captured the imagination of a global audience: “We’d done the table read and it was great – Nick Mohammed had everyone in stitches – but I guess no-one really knew what success was around the corner. People love Ted Lasso because it’s such a warm, fuzzy show and being on set was exactly the same. We were lucky that were able to film during Covid. A lady came to my house every day to swab my nostrils. It was literally and metaphorically a lifesaver.”

There has been no official word on when Ted Lasso could air on Apple TV+ once more, with Waddingham confirming that there is no script in place as yet. Fans – and stars of the show - are, however, allowing themselves to get excited.
