Ted Lasso Season 3 release date: Is there a release date yet?
As of December 2022, Ted Lasso Season 3 doesn’t have an official release date – however, it will definitely arrive in 2023.
Ted Lasso Season 3: Is there going to be a Ted Lasso Season 4?
The team behind Ted Lasso has apparently always been instant on running a three-season arc, and unless something changes, this will indeed be the show’s final season.
With filming preparing to wrap up, a hush has almost shrouded the upcoming season as, despite the show’s immense popularity and cultural impact, the rumors of its finale have hit people hard, including the cast.
One of the show’s undisputed stars, Hannah Waddingham who plays Rebecca Welton, told E!: “I asked him [Jason Sudeikis] recently and he went, ‘Yeah, I think so, for now.’ And I was like, ‘OK.'”
This pertained to Sudeikis, the show’s co-creator and producer, extending the show’s length. We’ll have to wait and see if a change of heart occurs.
Following the show’s recent wins at the Emmys, Sudeikis said: “I don’t know, it’s up to more factors than myself. The response has been overwhelming. We have a tremendous group of writers, actors, people in production and post-production, all of those thrown in the jambalaya of possibility.
“I couldn’t say yes or no. I know this part of the show is what it’s supposed to be. I apologize for not giving you a direct answer because that’s more helpful for headlines. If I knew, I wouldn’t tell you.”

Ted Lasso Season 3 trailer: Is there a trailer?
Sadly, there’s no trailer for Ted Lasso Season 3 at the time of writing. We’ll update this space upon its release.
Ted Lasso Season 3 plot: What will it be about?
Not too much has been revealed just yet regarding the nature of Ted Lasso Season 3, but we have a pretty good idea based on the events of Season 2.
Fans are desperate to see how AFC Richmond gets on in the Premier League and if they can fare better this time around after earning promotion on a dramatic final day of the previous season.
Their progress will likely be juxtaposed by the now antagonistic Nate who’s now part of the club’s main rivals West Ham, and there will naturally be an introspective look into Ted Lasso’s state of mind, along with fascinating character arcs for many of the show’s beloved icons.
Ted Lasso Season 3: What happened in Season 2?
Season 2 of Ted Lasso was definitely not short on drama as the new bunch of episodes kicked off with Dani Rojas dealing with emotional trauma after killing a dog with a penalty, Roy Kent attempting to cope with the inevitable ‘life after football’ dilemma, and Jamie Tarkk (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) battling a personality crisis after being booted off of a reality show.
There never seemed to be a slow beat with the show’s sophomore season either as Roy Kent’s jump to punditry turned out to be a hilarious stroke of genius, as his and Keeley’s relationship trundled along rather nicely as one of the show’s most feelgood aspects and easy go-to for comic relief – although their bond did seem to be hanging by a thread at the end of the finale.
We got deep dives into some of the show’s more underutilized characters in Season 2 with Sam being a prime example. His background was cast under the microscope and was threatened with the sack for defying his sponsor’s orders that went against his culture.
Not only that, but he was involved in a shocking love angle with the far more senior Rebecca, and was even offered the chance to become part of an African superteam.
It wasn’t just Sam though, as even Coach Beard got an astonishing, fast-paced episode of drama and intrigue all to himself to really let loose!
But as funny and heartwarming as Ted Lasso is, Season 3 contained a lot of lows for its characters, reminding us all that they are human after all.
The show’s titular hero is arguably one of the most eyeballed figures during the season as the Richmond coach dealt with being alone, suffered panic attacks, snapped at Sharon, the club’s new psychologist, and dealt with the realization his staff had a turncoat – Nate.
That’s right, from lowly kit man to coach of rivals West Ham United, Nate’s gradual descent throughout Season 2 was an ugly joy to behold as he realized he’s more than Ted and Coach Beard’s lackey.
After realizing his worth, threatening one of the club’s young staff members, and tipping the press about Ted’s panic attacks, Nate is now an enemy of Richmond.
Season 3 is set up wonderfully as we’ll see how a rejuvenated Ted can help his fractured team, if Roy and Keeley can survive, along with a heap of new stories waiting to be told.
