Maybe there really is something to Ted Lasso’s boundless enthusiasm: Apple announced today that it’s renewing the Jason Sudeikis football coach’s titular sitcom for a third season, well before its second has even gone into production. This comes after a first outing that has seen Bill Lawrence’s latest situation comedy pull gently raving reviews from just about anybody who’s been exposed to it, as people revel in a series where the main character is a nice, competent dude who genuinely devotes himself to making the world better. (After all, we all enjoy a little bit of speculative fiction in our lives, right?)
