The upcoming season of Apple TV’s ‘Ted Lasso’ could be its last, according to the show’s writers

The Sunday Times reports Ted Lasso’s writers are preparing to end the popular comedy-drama after the upcoming third season.

Series star and writer Brett Goldstein says the show was always planned for three seasons.

“We are writing it like that,” he says.

The show is possibly Apple TV‘s biggest hit, but it’s still unclear if these rumours are true.

“It was planned as three. Spoiler alert — everyone dies,” Goldstein says.

In a 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ted Lasso himself, Jason Sudeikis says he saw the series expanding across three seasons.

“The story that’s being told – that three-season arc – is one that I see, know, and understood. I’m glad that [Apple TV+] are willing to pay for those three seasons. As far as what happens after that, who knows? I don’t know.”

Apple hasn’t commented on the rumours and writers remain tight-lipped on any spoilers ahead of season three.

But fans are taking to social media to voice their devastation if the show does possibly come to an end.

For others, the decision is respected, but feelings are still bittersweet.

The series first debuted in 2020 and became a flagship series for Apple TV+. It has since received a number of Emmy nominations and wins, including Brett Goldstein for ‘Best Supporting Actor’.

The show was developed by Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt and Joe Kelly. It is based on a character Sudeikis originally played in commercials for NBC Sports.
