At the moment, no one knows what the future holds for the comedy-drama seriesTed Lasso. Everyone seems to keep mum on it. Although the series’ lead star and executive producerJason Sudeikisexplained that he only planned for the series to have a three-season arc, he refused to further comment after he was asked byEWifTed Lasso’s current season will be its last.
Although he wouldn’t share ifTed Lasso’s season will be its last, he admitted that the third season would end the current story. He said,
“I mean, it is [the end] of this story, yeah, for sure. We wrote a series finale. I’m still working on it, we’re still editing. I hear people loud and clear. I take it as a compliment, we all do, that people would want more. But the stories have to service that endeavour. It can’t be the other way around. But this story is being told the way we had hoped and dreamed that it would be told and the fact that we got to do that is thrilling enough. But, yeah, I can’t give you a definitive answer of if it were to come back and not set myself up to being called a liar.”

Ted Lasso’s Cast and Crew Treated the Third Season Finale as Their Final Shooting Day
Sudeikis further revealed thatTed Lasso’s cast and crew had already prepared for the series to end this season. However, they apparently treated the third season finale as their final shooting day, and Sudeikis said there were lots of tears.
“I mean, it was lovely. It was a scene in the locker room, and then everybody piled in there, it was jam-packed, which our COVID team was very anxious about, understandably. But, yeah, lot of tears, lot of cheers, lot of clapping. It felt like an actual sports team after their final game, but without really knowing if we’d won or lost, which as Ted says is really not the most important thing, so in many ways we won. There was just this feeling, like a call to arms, to take whatever we made here, and however we made it there, to bring that to wherever any of us go next.”
Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard in the series, added that he had fond memories of the final shooting days. He shared,
“It was a great moment of connection. It felt like a culmination, and it is definitely a treasured memory from this whole experience.”
