Ted Lasso Stars Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt Score Goals Off-Screen at Arsenal Match
BREAKING: Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt Spotted Cheering on Arsenal in London, But What's Really Going On with Ted Lasso Season 4?
It seems like Hollywood royalty Jason Sudeikis and his co-star Brendan Hunt took a break from filming the highly-anticipated fourth season of their hit Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso, to indulge in some good old-fashioned British football fever. The duo was spotted cheering on Arsenal as they thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium in London on Tuesday.
The 49-year-old actor, looking every inch the dapper gent in his navy suit, flat cap, and burgundy tie, was beaming with joy alongside his co-star Brendan, who opted for a stylish grey waistcoat and striped shirt. The pair's high spirits were palpable as they watched the match, and we can't help but wonder if their enthusiasm is matched by the excitement building around Ted Lasso's upcoming season.
Speaking of which, we've got some juicy gossip to dish out. It seems that Jason Sudeikis has been teasing fans about the direction of Season 4, hinting that Ted Lasso will be coaching a women's team in the US. But is this just a clever ruse to keep us guessing, or does it signal a major shift for our favorite football coach?
According to Variety, the show's production company, Warner Bros Television, has confirmed that filming has kicked off in Kansas City, with Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham reprising their roles as Ted Lasso and his on-screen wife. But what about the rest of the cast? Well, it seems that Sex Education star Tanya Reynolds and Adolescence's Faye Marsay have joined the mix, along with a host of other talented actors.
We've got our ears to the ground for more information, but in the meantime, we can confirm that Apple TV's head of development, Matt Cherniss, is "high hopes" for Season 4. When asked about the direction of the show, he cryptically said: "I don't think I want to say anything about the direction that the show is going, only that I think if you love Ted Lasso you're gonna love the next season." Intriguing, right?
But here's the thing: Jason Sudeikis has been dropping hints left and right. In a recent interview on Travis and Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast, he teased that "Ted's coaching a women's team, so there, that's it." He also mentioned that coming up with a new season was both "exciting" and "daunting", adding: "Because we told the story we wanted to tell, but there's more there and it is a neat group of people to work with."
We're dying to know what Sudeikis means by "there's more there". Is he hinting at a major plot twist or a romantic interest for Ted? The suspense is killing us!
Meanwhile, the show's co-creator, Bill Lawrence, has weighed in on the possibility of a fourth season. When asked if the decision to continue the show lies with Sudeikis, he said: "As fans, we'd all kill if it was going again, but everybody would say the same thing, which is: whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we're all down with it."
It seems that Ted Lasso has become a beloved fixture in the TV landscape, earning 20 Primetime Emmy Awards in its first season and winning seven, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Sudeikis. Since premiering in 2020, the show has received an astonishing 61 Primetime Emmy Awards nods, as well as a slew of other accolades.
So what's next for Ted Lasso? Will he continue to coach AFC Richmond or will he take on a new challenge with the women's team? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: we can't get enough of this charming show and its lovable cast of characters.
