Creator and star Jason Sudeikis spoke with HEY last October, following “Ted Lasso’s” huge night at the 2021 Emmys – where the show won seven awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series. He didn’t give a committed response either way, but reiterated that the show was originally slated for three seasons, adding that creatively he hadn’t considered more yet.

“I feel like a real coach when I have to tell people that you can’t watch Season 4 when you’re in the middle of Season 3,” Sudeikis explained. “We can’t worry about championships when we’re in the first round of the playoffs, you know?”

However, the acclaimed comedy star and executive producer jokingly endorsed the idea of ​​a possible spinoff, noting that co-stars and pals Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple could make a great “crime-fighting duo”.

Seasons 1 and 2 of “Ted Lasso” are now streaming on Apple TV+.
