Why hasn’t there been a Ted Lasso spinoff? One man is to blame

Why hasn’t there been a Ted Lasso spinoff? One man is to blame

Feel free to believe in the possibility of more Ted Lasso or a spinoff, but ultimately, only Lasso himself can provide an answer to that question.

It seems that the third season of Ted Lasso marked the definitive conclusion of the series. In the finale, Ted appears to have finally returned home and reunited with his wife and son.

Although the show has ended, there were hints of potential spinoffs for Ted Lasso that would further expand the universe. However, there have not been any recent updates on this topic. When ScreenRant inquired about the lack of updates, co-creator Bill Lawrence promptly pointed out that the decision ultimately lies with one person: Jason Sudeikis.

The only person who knows what’s next for Ted Lasso is Jason Sudeikis himself, according to the show’s co-creator

Lawrence elaborated, “I have such admiration for Jason [Sudeikis] and the entire team’s incredible skill in pulling it off. I would love to see it again, but as actors, actresses, writers, and producers, we all understand the gravity of Jason’s decision and respect his privacy. We won’t speak on any rumors or speculations, and will await an official announcement from him.”

“I am limited to discussing specific topics, such as Scrubs reboots. In those cases, I usually respond with, ‘Perhaps in about six months, we will come up with a plan.’ However, as for Ted Lasso, I am eagerly anticipating whatever direction Jason chooses to take, just like everyone else.”

The creation of the Ted Lasso character is credited to Jason Sudeikis, who originally developed the character to promote NBC Sports’ coverage of the Premier League in 2013. Due to the character’s overwhelming popularity, Sudeikis decided to revisit Lasso, leading to the development of the hit Apple TV+ series.

The three seasons of Ted Lasso that we have received have been highly praised by critics and are among Apple TV’s most well-received television offerings. Fans are eagerly anticipating more, but unfortunately, it appears they will have to be patient and maintain their belief for the time being.
