What Happened?
It has already been confirmed that the amiable American coach Ted Lasso will be transitioning to work in the women’s football scene when the acclaimed series makes its return to Apple TV+.
The Bigger Picture
New characters and storylines are anticipated to join some familiar faces. Brett Goldstein, who portrays the famously foul-mouthed character Roy Kent, falls into the latter group. He is among the cast members who have confessed to developing a deep affection for the world created by Ted Lasso.
What Goldstein Said
Speaking about his connection to everything related to AFC Richmond, Goldstein told the Vulture’s Good One podcast: “I think it’s to do with the people and the characters and the actors. You have this plan, but then this world starts to build in front of you, and you fall in love with things you didn’t know you’d fall in love with. I don’t want to sound woo woo, but I do mean this.”
“You still have to stay open to the signs. You always have a plan, but the plan will change because someone is different and what everyone brings. So yes, we’ve stuck to that plan, but there’s so many new, wonderful things within it, that it’s like, ‘Oh, we could [do more]. I think, I don’t know, do you want to hang out in that world anymore? And if so, it`s only worth doing if you’re going to do it as well [as you’ve done] if not better`.”
Did You Know?
Commenting on the highly anticipated return of Ted Lasso, which he always felt was probable, Goldstein added: “When the idea is there, if you remain open to it and the idea comes, you’re like, ‘Oh! That’s a good one.’ But then you’re like, ‘F*ck! Maybe there is more’.”
What Next for Ted Lasso?
It now falls to Sudeikis and the rest of the team to bring that “good” idea to fruition. Fans worldwide are ready to `Believe` once again as more captivating stories unfold in a narrative that many believed had concluded in May 2023.
