Jason Sudeikis Says He Wants More 'Ted Lasso' Seasons
Jason Sudeikis told the 'Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso' podcast that he would like to continue 'Ted Lasso' beyond its upcoming fourth season, leaving the door open for Seasons 5 and 6.
Jason Sudeikis is not ready to close the locker room door on «Ted Lasso.» The co-creator and star said on the podcast «Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso» that he would like to keep the Apple TV+ comedy going beyond its upcoming fourth season, opening the possibility of Seasons 5 and 6.
The comments mark a shift for a series that Sudeikis once expected to end with Season 3. That season was widely framed as a conclusion to the story of the optimistic American coach who takes over an English soccer club, but the show later returned for a fourth season, and Sudeikis now suggests the story could continue further.
During the conversation, Sudeikis indicated he «would like to» do more seasons, though he did not offer a firm commitment or a timeline for additional episodes. The remarks were made in a wide-ranging interview that also touched on the show's personal significance to him and on how the public understood his 2020 split from Olivia Wilde.
According to Sudeikis, «Ted Lasso» played a role in helping him through a difficult period, and he credited the series with saving him from self-harm. He also said coverage of his separation from Wilde missed «a million little things,» describing the situation as «always more complicated» than it appeared from the outside.
The interview places the future of «Ted Lasso» back in the spotlight at a moment when the series is already preparing to extend a story that many viewers believed had reached its natural ending. Sudeikis' willingness to continue gives Apple TV+ and the creative team room to plan beyond the fourth season, though no official announcement about Seasons 5 or 6 has been made.
For fans, the update is a signal that the show's central character may have more chapters ahead. For the industry, it is another example of a hit streaming comedy outlasting its originally planned finale, as platforms and creators look for ways to keep successful franchises alive while their stars remain interested.
Sudeikis' comments also add a personal dimension to the show's legacy. By linking «Ted Lasso» to his own recovery and to the public scrutiny of his private life, he framed the series as more than a workplace comedy about an underdog soccer club. The interview suggests that whatever comes next for the show, its star sees the character and the story as closely tied to his own experience.
Whether that translates into two more seasons remains uncertain. Sudeikis stopped short of confirming any production plans, and the show's future will depend on scheduling, creative decisions, and the willingness of the cast and producers to return. For now, the door is open, and the coach who once seemed finished is still talking about another season.
