Lace Up Your Cleats: ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 3 Officially Has a Release Date and a Brand-New Trailer

Apple TV+ previously released a teaser for Ted Lasso season three. At the end of the one-minute-long teaser, fans can see a yellow piece of paper hanging on one of the lockers. And on that sheet of paper, the words, “Ted Lasso Season 3 returns March 15,” are written in bright, bold blue letters. Mark your calendars, everyone.

In January 2023, Apple TV+ released a first-look photo teasing what's to come. The pic—shown above—features Ted (Jason Sudeikis) and Nathan (Nick Mohammed) staring each other down.

Ted Lasso (Sudeikis) is an overly enthusiastic American college football coach, who accepts an offer to lead AFC Richmond, a mediocre Premier League soccer team in the U.K. Despite their 40-year losing streak, Ted is determined to rewrite their underdog story.

Sudeikis is set to reprise his titular role in Ted Lasso season three. According to Deadline, Hannah Waddingham, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Phil Dunster and Nick Mohammed are also returning. Joining them is newcomer Jodi Balfour, who will play a charming venture capitalist named Jack.

Developers have been tight-lipped about the plot, but in August, Ted Lasso editors AJ Catoline and Melissa McCoy teased that fans can expect bigger character arcs for Rebecca and Nate.

Catoline told The Hollywood Reporter, "[Nate is] on a trajectory, career wise… From season one as kitman, then he became a coach and now he's the coach of West Ham. Jason is so very generous as a producer and creator. He gives all of the characters a storyline. I think that's why [the episodes] are so full… There so many storylines; he wants every character to have an arc."

Also, when co-creator and executive producer Brendan Hunt was asked what fans can expect, he said, "What shows usually do in season three: We all adopt a child. A bunch of adopted children running around. It really becomes more of an Oliver! thing—Oliver exclamation point. No—the team is dealing with the reality of going back to the Premier League, where we’re minnows again. We’re minus our brightest tactical mind, and we know the way the Premier League structure works, we have to play West Ham twice, so Nate and Rupert [Anthony Head] are out there looming. We might see a bit of what’s going on at West Ham as well."

This is a tricky question. Initially, the writers said that Ted Lasso would be a three-season series, but that was before the show became extremely popular. Although season four hasn’t been confirmed, Sudeikis teased the possibility during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“I feel like a real coach when I have to tell folks you can’t look at season four when we’re in the middle of season three. We can’t worry about the championships when we’re in the first round of playoffs, you know?” he said. “We got to take it one game at a time. As cliché as that may sound, there’s actually truth. It’s hard to think about what to do in the distant future when you’re trying to deal with what’s right in front of you.”
