Ted Lasso season 4 wrapped up earlier this month, and there is still no official word on the show's future. But on a recent podcast appearance, Jason Sudeikis shared a new update on Ted Lasso season 5 and beyond.
On a new episode of the podcast Talk Easy with Sam Frogoso, Sudeikis discussed his experience returning to Ted Lasso for season 4 and addressed the current status of season 5 and plans for more seasons. After season 3 concluded, Apple and the entire cast seemed eager for more Ted Lasso, but everyone involved repeatedly deferred to Sudeikis, the creative leader behind the show, who was not sure he wanted it to continue. This time, however, his tone sounds different.
Asked whether he has seasons five and six mapped out, Sudeikis said the goal of returning was to explore more story. "I think there's more in there... We'll see. It takes a village." When pressed, he said, "I would like to, yeah. I think it would be fun," but added, "Yeah, I just don't know. We haven't started a writers room or anything like that." He also said he would assume Apple would proceed if he wanted to keep going.
Reporting before season 4 indicated Sudeikis had a three-season arc in mind for the show. While he sounds ready to move forward, something still appears to be holding up the show, suggesting behind-the-scenes negotiations are ongoing. During its season 4 run, Ted Lasso was consistently the top-viewed show on Apple TV, though it did not reach the heights of season 3.
