TED Lasso Season 3 Release Date: Why Apple TV+ Want Ted Lasso Season 3 To Feature?

By Aarush Sharma On May 25, 2022

Ted Lasso Season 3 Release Date: Season 2 of Ted Lasso concluded on a contentious one, with former sidekick “Nate the Great,” played by Nick Mohammed, turning on Ted.

Nate leaked the news of Jason Sudeikis‘ character’s mid-match panic crisis to the press before leaving AFC Richmond to coach for West Ham United, which is now owned by Rebecca’s unscrupulous ex-husband Rupert.

Going into the following several episodes, there will be plenty of drama.

Ted Lasso Season 2 premiered in July 2021, and believe it or not, it’s already garnering amazing reviews as being even better than the first season, with fans clamoring for more of this feel-good program.

Do you want to keep smiling alongside Ted? Here’s all we know about a Ted Lasso Season 3 so far.

Will There Be Happen Ted Lasso Season 3?

Ted Lasso will return for a third season.

Prior to the development of season two, the third season of Ted Lasso was commissioned and will premiere in October 2020.

With Nate defecting from AFC Richmond to work as a coach at West Ham, which had just been purchased by Rebecca Walton’s ex-husband, the end of the second season prepared the way for a new chapter in the saga.

In the following installment of the series, tensions between AFC Richmond and West Ham are bound to increase, with Ted having to deal with Nate’s decision to join the dark side and work for “the enemy.”

After Keeley rejected Roy’s invitation to go on a six-week vacation, causing him to doubt their future together, the series two finale presented a potential cliffhanger with Keeley and Roy’s romance headed into uncertain terrain.

Who Will Be Appear in Ted Lasso Season 3?

In April 2022, it was confirmed that Jodi Balfour would play Jack, a charming venture entrepreneur, in the series.

Balfour has previously starred in True Detective and The Crown.

While Sharon, the team therapist, and Trent Crimm, the journalist, are both expected to return in some capacity, despite the fact that the end of season two suggested they would be moving on.

What Will Be the Plotline of Ted Lasso Season 3?

Nate’s betrayal, as well as his new connection with Rebecca’s unpleasant former husband Rupert, are both expected to be explored further.

While Mohammed said he’d like to see Nate get a “redemption arc,” he “could well imagine the writers thinking: ‘no, we’re going to turn it on its head,’ because that’s what they did in Season 2, playing against everyone’s expectations, so he might be the one character they don’t redeem,” according to the BBC.

Kip Kroeger, the show’s producer, told Deadline that this season will focus on the characters’ backstories. “You know, we’re going to find out more about where they come from,” he explained. This will almost certainly entail delving into Ted’s relationship with his father, who committed suicide.

Why Does Apple TV+ Want Ted Lasso Season 3 To Feature?

Season 3 was announced long before the second season, which premiered in October 2020, even began.

It’s understandable why Apple TV+ wants Ted Lasso to stay in the streaming game: Ted Lasso has not only won the embryonic streaming service a slew of Emmys, but it has also become one of its signature shows, attracting 25% of new members, according to The Hollywood Reporter—whatever that means, given Apple, like Netflix, is notoriously tight-lipped about its streaming data.

What began as a lighthearted promo for NBC Sports has grown into a smash hit that is now the most popular show on AppleTV+.

Not only that, but Ted Lasso and Jason Sudeikis (with a fantastic mustache), who portrays the title role, received a whopping 20 Emmy nominations in 2021, surpassing the all-time record for a comedy in its first season.

(At the 73rd annual Emmy Trophies on Sept. 19, the beloved sitcom took home seven awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series.)

Sudeikis claimed in the press room that Apple has already requested 12 episodes in Season 3 after his character taught him “that optimism is a better way to go even though pessimism may sometimes garner an easy chuckle.” “We’ll do 12 episodes,” stated the Emmy winner. “As of today.”

How Many Episodes Will Have Ted Lasso Season 3?

Season 1 had ten episodes and season 2 had twelve episodes. Season 3 will have 12 episodes, according to Sudeikis, who confirmed this at Emmy’s press room.

Ted Lasso’s character was created in what way?

Ted Lasso was a character developed by Sudeikis, Hunt, and Kelley in 2013 for NBC’s Premier League soccer coverage in the United States. The first skit, titled “An American Coach in London,” was a five-minute comedy farce meant to highlight the quirks of English sport for American spectators.

Sudeikis revealed the role to Spurs TV in a long-forgotten 2013 interview:

“I’m playing an American football coach who’s gone to Tottenham to introduce American football concepts, styles, and methods to European football… I would say unsuccessfully. Hopefully, but surely unsuccessfully, comedically.”

Bill Lawrence, the creator of Scrubs, came on board to help further develop the characters and story into the hit series that it is now for Apple TV+.

Ted Lasso Season 3 Release Date

Season three of the show began filming on March 7, 2022, with no word on when it will be broadcast. Bill Lawrence, the show’s executive producer, informed Deadline in late 2021 that season three would be released around August 2022.

Ted Lasso Season 3 should be available for fans by the end of the year in December 2022, according to actor Cristo Fernández, who plays Dani Rojas.

Conclusion

Even if you don’t care for sports, you’re likely to enjoy — or already do — AppleTV+’s Ted Lasso. In the year 2020, the comedy series about an overly optimistic college football coach who is sent to a British soccer squad was like chicken soup for the pandemic soul.
