The cast of Apple TV+ series sensation “Ted Lasso” reunited this weekend, ten days after the third and seemingly final season aired its finale.
Appearing at a For Your Consideration Emmys event on Saturday night to discuss that final episode, the inevitable question came up about the future of the series.
Three key players were absent – Jason Sudeikis who plays Ted, Brett Goldstein who plays Roy Kent and Brendan Hunt who plays Coach Beard. The trio were forced to miss the event amid the writer’s strike and rules that WGA members can’t currently promote their projects.
On hand were the likes of Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Phil Dunster, James Lance, Jeremy Swift and Cristo Fernandez among others.
The fans have been vocal about more seasons of the show, including potential spinoff ideas should the series progress without its titular star. Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt in the series, says:
“It’s wonderful that people care. It’s one of those things where if there was to be anything more – which I don’t know, nobody knows if there will be – so long as it’s done with integrity, that’s the thing that everybody cares about.
No one wants more for the sake of it, there’s enough TV around. And I know that Jason and [writer] Joe [Kelly] and Brendan and Bill Lawrence, they will only do it if they feel like it’s the right thing.”
Whilst the cast remains hopeful, comments such as Goldstein’s Instagram post about the finale appear to make it pretty clear this is the end. Hunt, on the other hand, teased in a Reddit AMA that it’s all undecided: “We need a break and will take one presently. Nothing has been ruled out, everything is possible, but that includes the possibility that we’re done.”
