Could AFC Richmond’s time on the field be coming to an end?Jason Sudeikisseems to think so. The actor, who has playedTed Lassofor three seasons, recently sat down withDeadlinefor an interview, where he discussed the possibility of the show ending with its third installment. Whilea trailer was recently releasedfor the upcoming episodes, which are premiering onApple TV+on March 15before dropping weekly, nothing has been officially expressed to indicate that the series is reaching its conclusion. Here’s what the man himself had to say regarding the future of the show:
This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell. The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don’t even know yet—that being Season 3—it’s flattering. Maybe by May 31, once all 12 episodes of the season [have been released], they’re like, ‘Man, you know what, we get it, we’re fine. We don’t need anymore, we got it.’ But until that time comes, I will appreciate the curiosity beyond what we’ve come up with so far.”
Surprisingly, Sudeikis doesn’t officially confirm ifTed Lassois actually ending in a couple of months but, by the way that he expressed his desire for the upcoming season, he seems to want fans to enjoy the upcoming episodes as they are without worrying too much about what’s coming next. One of Sudeikis' co-stars,Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent in the show, said in an interview how hecompletely trusts the leading man’s vision, reassuring fans that, regardless if the show comes back for a fourth season or not, they are in for a treat. Perhaps it’s time to follow the example set by the team, and just trust the coach.

What Will The Third Season ofTed LassoBe About?
After the second season followed Lasso’s struggle with anxiety and not having a clear path set out for his life, perhaps he’ll finally accept that he’s not alone, and that he can rely on his friends to overcome all of the problems he must face. On the executive side of things, Rupert Mannion (Anthony Head), Rebecca’s ex-husband, has purchased the rival soccer team, West Ham United. Just to make the wound hurt a little bit more, Mannion hired former AFC Richmond and friend of Lasso’s, Nate (Nick Mohammed), who will now have toface his former mentoron the field.
