Ted Lasso<\/a> co-creator Jason Sudeikis<\/a> has offered fans some hope that the popular show could return for further seasons. <\/a><\/p>\n The actor and screenwriter \u2013 who stars as the comedy\u2019s warm-hearted but somewhat naive AFC Richmond coach,<\/a> Ted \u2013 initially thought the hit series <\/a>would conclude with season three, but ended up delighting viewers with a fourth season that premiered in August this year. <\/p>\n Appearing on the podcast Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, Sudeikis, 51, opened up about the idea of bringing the show back for a fifth and sixth season. <\/p>\n He said he \u201cwould like to\u201d do more seasons but acknowledged that \u201cit takes a village\u201d. <\/p>\n Asked if he believed that Apple would be interested in continuing the show, he remarked: \u201cI would assume so.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI just don\u2019t know,\u201d he said when his host pushed him for further thoughts: \u201cWe haven\u2019t started a writers\u2019 room or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n It was announced last year that Ted Lasso would return for a surprise fourth season, written after Sudeikis believed he was too creatively drained to continue. <\/p>\n Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+,<\/a> said at the time: \u201cTed Lasso has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring a passionate fanbase all over the world, and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, compassion and unwavering belief.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show.\u201d<\/p>\n Ted Lasso debuted in 2020 to widespread praise from both fans and audiences. The show follows Ted, an American football coach hired to manage a British football team, despite having no knowledge of the beautiful game.<\/p>\n The show has also been nominated for, and won, multiple awards, with Sudeikis winning the Emmy for Lead Actor in a Comedy in both 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n The actor developed the show with Bill Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, while his fellow castmembers include Game Of Thrones\u2019s Hannah Waddingham<\/a>, comedian Nick Mohammed, Wild Child actor Juno Temple<\/a>, and The Devil\u2019s Hour actor Phil Dunster.<\/p>\n Earlier this month Hunt, who plays Coach Beard, revealed that Sudeikis wanted Ted to step down from his role at AFC Richmond, and admitted that there was no guarantee that the series<\/a> would return for a fifth season.<\/p>\n The Ted Lasso season four finale<\/a> radically reshuffled the coaching staff at AFC Richmond, with Ted handing over his position as manager of the club\u2019s women\u2019s team, the Lady Greyhounds, to Alice Chilton (Tanya Reynolds), and instead became an assistant manager alongside Coach Beard. <\/p>\n
