Ted Lasso

Jason Sudeikis says there was more pressure going into Season 3 of "Ted Lasso" because this was the first time the cast and crew were keenly aware of ...

"It is still warming and flattering." "It was thrilling and healing," he said, adding fans shouldn't feel it's necessary to say, "I know you hear this a lot. "I was able to lean into being the figurehead of it and when you see how Season 3 unfolds, I couldn't have asked for anything more. "The first one was made in the bubble of it not existing and being this invisible thing. It was very satisfying." "You just start to drink up how they are or what you love seeing them do," he said.

Cassandra Johnson-Bekoe has joined U.K. independent production company DARE Pictures in the newly created position of head of scripted development.

OK, here goes - I'm going to make it my genuine goal not to make any football puns for this entire review. I've already kind of failed, haven't I?

No matter how much the creators talk about the [overall story arc](https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/comedy/ted-lasso-ending-season-3-speculation/) (and one is of course necessary to make the dramatic side of the show satisfying), this series is really character-led, with each plot point feeling like a natural continuation for each individual. At this point it's unclear whether it's best for the team to end things on a high or keep going while things are strong, because we don't know where the narrative is being taken. It now seems apparent that we're going to be kept in the dark, likely until the credits have rolled on the 12th and final episode this season. He is not a bad person and nowhere near the inexorable negative force of Anthony Head's Rupert, but has allowed himself to be hardened and petty to counter his own anxieties and crippling self-doubt. Still, the decision to focus in primarily on Ted and Nate's 'conflict' is smart.

It's this perfectly executed blend of tones that means the emotion, when it does arrive, still really kicks. It's impressive that Ted Lasso has never, as of yet, strayed into mawkishness. Ted is under increasing pressure to "win the whole f**king thing" from Rebecca, while Nate is looking to make his mark at West Ham - putting the two of them in direct competition. By this point we know what it is about the hopeful, unabashedly and refreshingly sentimental comedy series that works. Thankfully, the creators know this too, and have leaned into it for season 3.

We recap the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso Season 3 Episode 1, "Smells Like Mean Spirit," which contains spoilers.

Ted has that in droves, telling everyone how he thought it was hilarious and even making fun of himself. Ted dismissed most of it with his folksy charm that everyone loves and respects. At the same time, Nate has a press conference and is condescendingly asked if the pressure is too much for him since he was doing the laundry for another team a couple of years ago. Ted takes his team to the sewer so that he could teach them a lesson. Of course, someone took a picture of them headed to the sewer, and they asked Nate about it. Ted is lonely and heads to the office the next day, where Rebecca has plenty of anxiety over AFC Richmond this season.

“I think Roy and Keeley are a great couple and a fun couple to write,” he continued. Both Keeley and Roy look heartbroken as they share the news, while Roy repeats, “We broke up.” “I think it’s really important for us that even though [that relationship’s] been idealized a little bit, everything, regardless of which way it’s going to go, has bumps and speed bumps,” Bill said. Jamie tells Keeley he still loves her, and after his character development, perhaps he and Keeley are now better matches for one another. “Pheebs, your Uncle Roy and I have something we need to tell you,” Keeley starts. “We’re going on a break,” she continues as Roy simultaneously says, “We broke up.” Well, which one is it?! He’s ready to relax and retire, and she’s ready to take over the media industry. Feeling.” (Yes, his one feeling.) Roy is worried that Keeley will outgrow him, and to some degree, he’s not wrong. At the end of Season 2, Roy surprises Keeley with a six-week vacation to Marbella, but Keeley prioritizes her new job as the head of her own PR firm, aptly titled KJPR. In Ted Lasso’s first two seasons, they brought out the best in each other — Keeley taught Roy how to be vulnerable, and Roy helped Keeley become the powerful girlboss she becomes by the Season 2 finale. The power couple did a photo shoot and profile for Vanity Fair, but Roy was completely left out of the article, leading him to tell the Diamond Dogs that “It. One such relationship is the one between Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) and Roy Kent ( [Brett Goldstein](https://www.distractify.com/p/brett-goldstein-dating)).

It’s lovely to see that Sharon (Sarah Niles) and Ted are still in touch even after her departure from the team.

He puts his players on the “dumb-dumb line” when they screw up and tells an assistant coach to run them “ ’til they drop.” But right now she is somewhere in the middle, a work in progress. That might be the worst idea for a show in the history of television. (The fact that Rupert is played by Anthony Stewart Head, who played one of my half-dozen favorite characters ever, as Giles on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” has created more emotional confusion for me than I prefer to admit.) His teenage son, Henry (Gus Turner), has been over for a six-week visit and is now returning home to his mother in Kansas City.

AFC Richmond tries to balance winning and culture in the show's third season—while the series at large seems headed toward its end.

To that end, the show is juggling the workplace dynamics of three different settings this season: Ted and the rest of the gang at Richmond, Nate handling his new managerial duties at West Ham, and former model Keeley (Juno Temple) starting her own marketing firm. Richmond is back in the Premier League at the start of Ted Lasso’s third season: an impressive achievement that is somewhat undermined by all of the pundits picking them to finish last. (I would bet my life savings on the Nate Redemption Arc happening by the end of the season.) Then there’s Rebecca, falling into the same trap she did in the first season when the prospect of revenge against Rupert clouds her decision-making. In a strange way, that means Ted Lasso is now effectively contradicting itself. (For all of Ted’s infectious enthusiasm, Richmond were still relegated during his first year in charge.) Relatedly, one wonders whether Rebecca wants to sign Zava for the good of the team, or whether her determination to get one over on Rupert’s West Ham, who are also interested in the player, is clouding her vision. (In its return to the Premier League this season, Nottingham Forest opted for an extreme version of the latter strategy, signing an [all signs](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/03/ted-lasso-season-3-final-season) point to the newest season being its last.

(Zava is an amusing stand-in for Zlatan Ibrahimović, a larger-than-life figure who likes to refer to himself in the third person.) What’s a lot more certain is that Richmond are facing an uphill battle to stay in the Premier League, which puts them in stark contrast to West Ham United, a powerhouse now managed by Ted’s prodigious former assistant Nate (Nick Mohammed). While a soccer club getting promoted to the English Premier League is always a cause for celebration, it also marks the beginning of a new challenge.

Ted Lasso likes to say that winning isn't everything. The folksy American coach of the struggling British soccer club AFC Richmond, Ted (played by Jason ...

And Nate (Nick Mohammed), once Richmond’s kit man, who came to resent Ted and left the team, has sacrificed his friendships for a shot at leading his own squad. This isn’t to say that Ted Lasso has become a show about soccer strategy; the sport largely still operates as a metaphor. For one thing, the hearty return to the soccer pitch allows the show to more acutely observe Ted’s relationship to his work. In Season 3, despite Jamie’s levelheaded appeal for Ted to impart similar wisdom on a talented new colleague, Ted can’t bring himself to do so. In Season 1, for instance, Ted had no qualms about benching his star player, Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster), to teach him a lesson about teamwork. But the show isn’t merely questioning whether Ted’s goodness is flawed; by following the team as it’s welcomed back into the Premier League, it’s also examining whether winning is a worthwhile endeavor in the first place.

Jason Sudeikis, in fact, developed the character for a series of promo spots that ran alongside NBC Sports' stateside coverage of the actual Premier League. By ...

In the first season finale, Ted laid out a three-season plan for AFC Richmond that also sounds a lot like a three-season plan for Ted Lasso. Ted remembers, but he’s at a loss: unsure if, after motivating his team (and himself) to pull themselves out of the doldrums in the uneven season 2, he can take them to the promised land in season 3. The difference, though, is that the episodic nature of those series allowed them to embrace the chaos of a world warped and whorled by self-reference and postmodern pyrotechnics. The team signs new players to give their championship push new life, for instance, and so, not unrelatedly, the show brings in new actors to enlarge the world and give it new dynamism. This meta-structure can be refreshing and fun, a way for the show to take advantage of the kind of attention we’ve learned to pay to Easter eggs and puzzle boxes and redirect it toward a kind of running commentary on the show’s beats and arcs and twists. For as earnest as Ted Lasso is, as sentimental and sincere and sometimes corny as it can be, it is ultimately a show that is about its own improbability. [marriage of the show’s sensibilities](https://slate.com/culture/2021/08/ted-lasso-episode-rainbow-a-romantic-comedy.html) and modes of address that made an otherwise loose and baggy second season start to feel purposeful and even passionate. But the show also does this in a cloying and thudding way, as in “Beard After Hours,” an episode-length homage to Martin Scorsese’s [After Hours](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088680/), and genuinely one of the worst episodes of TV I think I’ve ever seen. Mad Men too is a high-concept piece of narrative art for television about people trying to make high-concept pieces of narrative art for television. A show this aware of itself can be wise, but it can also be nervous or, worse, detached. We learn, through Sudeikis’s stammering half of the conversation, that Ted’s taken the job as a last-ditch effort to save his marriage, a spectacularly excessive gesture intended to give his estranged wife “space.” We see him tell her that he loves her, and we see him heartbreakingly reassure her that it’s OK if she doesn’t say it back. Jason Sudeikis, in fact, developed the character for a series of promo spots that ran alongside NBC Sports’ stateside coverage of the actual Premier League.

As one of the largest and most successful companies in the world, Apple is understandably protective of its brand. But if it’s the latter (and In this episode alone, Ted hesitates to remove the little LEGO figurine that represents Nate from his LEGO diorama of the AFC Richmond “Dog Track” stadium because he know he one day might win him back. There are certainly some subtle signs that Nate might return to the Light Side at the conclusion of Ted Lasso‘s third and likely final season. The move had some unintended consequences, however, as throughout season 2, Nate took to the power Ted instilled in him poorly, becoming increasingly petty and vindictive before ultimately betraying AFC Richmond and signing with West Ham.

American coaches are at a disadvantage when it comes to jobs in Europe, but Ted Lasso shouldn't be blamed.

There are eight more episodes to go (and only eight, if the unconfirmed rumors about the show’s end are any indicator), and plenty of time left in the match. A mere four episodes in, “Ted Lasso” already has a lot of players out on the pitch, and many balls in the air. Add to that Roy Kent ( [Brett Goldstein](/cast-and-crew/brett-goldstein)) and Keeley Jones ( [Juno Temple](/cast-and-crew/juno-temple)) breaking up, and the latter pouring her focus on her new PR company, and you’ve got, as Ted might put it, more stories to juggle than a book-fair party clown. Even in his villainy, Mohammed takes pains to show the glimmers of sadness within Nate—his big step out into the spotlight still hasn’t filled that gaping void in his soul. If none of that sounds particularly fitting for what was at one point TV’s most well-regarded comedy, you wouldn’t be wrong; “Lasso”’s third season is downbeat, almost to a fault, its sincerity muting the charms of a cast of characters we’d come to love and admire in its first season. (It also managed to snag nearly a dozen Emmys for the trouble.) Season Two started to show the cracks in the Lasso firmament, as creators Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and

Keeley considers Rebecca a mentor and a guru, but the arrival of Barbara (Katy Wix), the CFO appointed by her investors, suggests she still has a lot to learn about being business savvy (beyond not knowing what “CFO” stands for). Roy and Keeley are spending the evening together for the sake of Phoebe (Elodie Blomfield) to inform her that they have broken up. After eventually getting them onboard with the classic “I’m so dumb” / “How dumb are you?” joke structure, he unleashes a bunch of zingers at himself that charm the hell out of them (and wins Rebecca’s approval after Keeley texts her thumbs-up). He’s focused to the point of rudeness, but it’s social media that has his attention, and social media is telling him he’s about to have an amazing year. (“Let Ted be Ted,” Keeley tells her.) And Rupert, despite Rebecca’s protests, is very much in her head, even if she’s no longer driven to a destructive rage by his very existence. Dani (Cristo Fernández) seems happy enough in spite of the dire projections, and Jan (David Elsendoorn) remains as pragmatic in his thinking as usual, noting that most promoted teams only last a year, statistically speaking. Though Ted seems to have found some calmness (and cleaned up that mustache) by the time the credits roll, Greyhound quarters is an unsettled place. After a summer in London, Henry returns to Kansas City and Emily and, in Henry’s words, a troubling “political landscape.” (“I have a tendency to doze off with CNN on,” Ted explains to the friendly airline worker charged with getting Henry on the plane.) The episode begins with Ted looking a little rough (the unkempt mustache is the giveaway) despite what appears to be a major change in his life. (With the revelation that Doc has a boyfriend, or at least someone who sleeps over, she’s clearly had some changes of her own.) Oh, right, that also means we’ve begun a new season of Ted Lasso, the TV series that chronicles the ups and downs of the Greyhounds on and off the field. (The news arrived around the same time as both [Barry](https://www.vulture.com/2023/03/barry-season-4-trailer-release-date.html) and [Succession](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/succession-ending-after-season-4-jesse-armstrong-confirms.html) revealed that they, too, would be bowing out after their current seasons.

“Ted Lasso” doesn’t have anything left to prove, other than perhaps demonstrating that it can finish as well as it started. (While Sudeikis has indicated this season will conclude the story, he’s also mentioned possible spinoffs, which is surely music to Apple’s ears.) While the traditional pattern in television is to hang onto hits for as long as possible, streaming and premium TV producers are pushing for more finite runs, with “Succession,” “Barry” and “The Marvelous Mrs. That’s not a knock on the Emmy-winning comedy as much as a tacit endorsement of wrapping things up, with the show and its trademark niceness having run its course after offering [the right prescription for our Covid times](https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/09/opinions/ted-lasso-season-2-perry-gabriele/index.html). The show’s simple pleasures come from a variety of sources, including just listening to the way Brett Goldstein’s Roy can creatively put together a string of expletives. Yet while Nate wants to please the new boss, it’s clear that his heart isn’t fully in that, suggesting his old coach’s sunny disposition might have rubbed off more than he cares to acknowledge.

Apple TV+'s 2-time Emmy® Award-winning best comedy series lifted spirits with Season 1, focused empowering its own leads and ensemble cast Season 2.

“Within [Roy] is a feeling that he’s not good enough and that is very hard to shift despite, you know, he is a Champion’s League winner. “Ted was absolutely a father figure for him, particularly in Season 1. He’s a catalyst for everyone sort of addressing their demons,” says Mohammed. “Season 2 was the most Ted changed,” says Sudeikis. Meanwhile, says Dunster, “Jamie’s come to terms a lot with who he was growing up. “Ted Lasso” isn’t a series centered solely on the sport, but about looking more deeply at people. In addition to Lasso, the series features other characters just as beloved by critics and fans. Though the team had a poor record to start, Ted quickly won over players, staff and supporters with his folksy charm. “Lasso” makes clear that constant uplift isn’t the only way to support someone — which is a way for the show to challenge its characters’ vulnerabilities and introduce Dr. Sharon Fieldstone (Sarah Niles), a therapist hired to offer the team mental health support. During a difficult 2020, fans embraced the show’s warm emotions, welcoming characters who are easy to root for and relatable story arcs. Key to the show’s success is that audiences need not follow nor even understand soccer to appreciate it.

The third season of Apple TV+'s football comedy Ted Lasso is as watchable as ever, but its hybridised dialogue is an American takeover we can't get behind.

In tandem with an audience less familiar with handballs and the four-four-two, or who might otherwise assume a right-winger to be Trump or Ron DeSantis, Sudeikis' loveable oaf has come to understand the meaning of such sacred footballing colloquialisms as “wanker.” But despite the stereotype of all-American stupidity that Ted so deftly wields in a disarming press conference later in the first episode, Lasso really doesn't need to patronise its native audience by injecting familiar words — at least when it's not for a gag. (In a press conference, ally-turned-enemy Nate the Great makes a joke about how Richmond can't “finish twenty-first"; sure, but relegation would be your first point of reference for a piss-take.) There's hardly a mention of the transfer window, nor a cursory nod to the silly season, but there is talk of updating the roster, or something. Of course, the variously subtle and glaring lingual differences on each side of the pond, experienced by such a fish-out-of-water as Ted, have formed the bedrock of the show's agreeable humour since its inception. The premiere deals with AFC Richmond, the fictional club managed by the titular ex-NFL coach portrayed by [Jason Sudeikis](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/article/jason-sudeikis-ted-lasso-season-3-premiere-2023), being tarred and feathered as the worst team in football's top tier by pundits and back pages across the land. [Phil Dunster](https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fitness/article/phil-dunster-ted-lasso-fitness-diary)'s new Grealish curtains — but lingual crossbreeding is hardly new of Lasso's latest iteration. With a writers' room full of English talent and an ensemble boasting the same, you'd presume that such lingual incongruities would be picked up at some point in the creative process if in error.

Ted Lasso season 3 is now available on Apple TV Plus, but the question remains: What is the length of time Ted (Jason Sudeikis) has been in London?

But for a sports show that leans in and out of being about the sport and being about the workplace and personal dynamics of the team playing it, that’s expected. That Ted Lasso is a bit flimsy on time and maybe stretching the rules a bit. By this point Roy and Keeley have been dating for a few months, depending on when we put the start of the season and their first date in episode 8. Suffice it to say that appears to mean season 2 picks up in the fall and we see them go all the way through spring with a few time skips. - Rebecca fired a coach in the opening scene of the pilot. The Apple TV Plus show, centered around the unlikely but affable American recruited to coach a London soccer (ahem, football) team, is in [its third season now](https://www.polygon.com/23616990/ted-lasso-season-3-trailer-release-date-apple-tv-plus), meaning we should know from the first two seasons how much football (ahem, soccer) has been played.

“I’m sure they’re excited to see them because they’re all wickedly talented, but it’s a different vibe on that show and a different family, if you will. “Ted says, ‘It’s not about the wins or losses, it’s about making these players the best versions of themselves on and off the pitch.’ I really feel that’s the same lesson that ‘Ted Lasso’ has given us young actors on the show. I’ve kind of absorbed the Lasso way in the same way that all of the players have,” Jimoh says. He credits “Ted Lasso” for giving him creative opportunities of which he had only dreamed. “We always saw it as this three-movement suite or a three-piece story,” Hunt says, but admits the show’s success has added more questions than answers to that original plan. “We’re still editing the last few episodes, so it’s really something that I haven’t had the time to sit with, despite the fact that there’s a lot of wonder and curiosity ...

The actor said that while he doesn't condone Nate Shelley's recent behavior, "he is quite fun to play."

"And you know, he was clearly bullied when he first started out as a kit man, by some of the players at the club, in AFC Richmond." "I don't condone it, but … "In order to sort of play it realistically I had to sort of find a real truth to why he was behaving that way," Mohammed said of his character.

Here's where we left AFC Richmond and co. at the end of last season.

As he leaves, he tears the "BELIEVE" sign in the AFC Richmond locker room, and tells Ted he should be with his son. (They broke up in the wake of Rebecca's father's death.) Later, we see him purchase a property that he intends to make a Nigerian restaurant. Before joining T&C, she was the deputy managing editor at [Hey Alma](https://www.heyalma.com/), a Jewish culture site. Trent Crimm has published a story in The Independent about his panic attacks, and Ted talks to the team and apologies for not being forthcoming with them. He also gets angry with Roy for not being angry with him about his attempt to kiss Keeley. Here's a handy, brief guide on where we left each character at the end of Ted Lasso season two:

“There’s a lot of anticipation as to whether Nate is getting this redemption arc and all I’ll say is that it’s not up to me or even the writers.
