Ted Lasso Season 3: Expected Release Date and Cast
It’s tough to argue that “Ted Lasso” has swiftly become one of the most popular shows on Apple TV+. The series stars Jason Sudeikis as an American football coach who travels to London to coach a struggling football (a.k.a. soccer) club, only to uncover a new family among the team’s motley crew. Season 1 of “Ted Lasso” was a surprising hit, and Season 2 built on everything that made it wonderful while also taking Ted’s tale in a new and more challenging route in terms of dealing with grief, loss, and mental illness.
With Season 2 of “Ted Lasso” now in the rearview mirror, viewers are left wondering what to expect in the future. We already know that a third season of the blockbuster show is in the works, since it was greenlit as soon as Season 2 began production (per Variety), but there are a few specifics that need to be confirmed as we get closer to the next chapter in Ted’s journey. It’s time to zero in on the “Ted Lasso” Season 3 release date, character details, and plot information that we currently have.
When will Ted Lasso Season 3 be released?
The actual premiere date for “Ted Lasso” Season 3 is unknown at this time. However, showrunner Bill Lawrence confirmed to Deadline that the creative team behind the blockbuster Apple TV+ series is aiming for an August 2022 premiere. This indicates that there will be less than a year between the show’s melancholy Season 2 finale and new “Ted Lasso” adventures.
An August start date for the upcoming season of “Ted Lasso” would be in line with the show’s previous release schedule. Season 1 premiered in August 2020, and Season 2 will be available on the streaming service in July 2021. Lawrence has stated that he wants the seasons of “Ted Lasso” to be around one year apart, so if all goes as planned, we can expect “Ted Lasso” to remain a reliable summer hit on Apple TV+.
Who is in the Ted Lasso Season 3 cast?
“Ted Lasso’s” cast is perhaps the show’s secret weapon when it comes to endearing the series to audiences. As a result, it stands to assume that the majority of the regulars will return for Season 3. At the very least, we may expect Jason Sudeikis to reprise his role as Ted Lasso, as well as Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster), Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham), Keeley (Juno Temple), Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt), and Nate (Nick Mohammed). Furthermore, given Sam Obisanya’s choice to stay, it appears Toheeb Jimoh will return.
James Lance as Trent Crimm (of The Independent) and Sarah Niles as Dr. Sharon Fieldstone are two more cast members who are scheduled to return for Season 3. Crimm disclosed to Ted at the end of Season 2 that Nate was his anonymous source for the piece disclosing Ted’s mid-game panic crisis. This admission prompted Crimm to leave The Independent and set out on his own, and it appears that his arc on the show is far from complete. Moreover, despite having said her farewell to Ted and the crew, Dr. Sharon will be returning to provide deadpan moral support. It’s evident that “Ted Lasso” isn’t done delving into Fieldstone’s own buried trauma and questionable drinking habits, so Ted will almost certainly be there to assist her when she reappears.
