Never count Ted Lasso out.
After all, show co-creator Jason Sudeikis thought the series would end with Season 3. Then came Season 4.
Sudeikis held forth recently on the podcast Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso about the prospects for Seasons 5 and 6.
Sudeikis indicated he “would like to” do more seasons but, he said, “it takes a village.”
Asked if he thinks Apple would be open to more Ted, Sudeikis ventured, “I would assume so.”
Pressed on whether there would, in fact, be more to the show, the actor admitted, “I just don’t know,” before offering more definitively, “We haven’t started a writers’ room or anything like that.”
Fragoso pointed out that Sudeikis had no concept for a fourth season before creating it, and he was at that point drained, with an empty cup, creatively. The host asked if a similar process could produce two more installments.
“Um, we’re going to need a bigger cup,” the actor joked.
But he did not rule it out, at one point describing how, after a log post-Season 3 hiatus, he kept hearing the voices of the characters in his head. “Then, he said, “other new voices started to show up.” Those were the voices of the women on the team in Season 3.
“I think it’d be fun,” said Sudeikis.
