Ted Lasso cast says no one wants more Ted Lasso just for the sake of making more Ted Lasso

Anyway, some of the Ted Lasso cast addressed this topic at a For Your Consideration event on Saturday night (via The Hollywood Reporter), during which actor Jeremy Swift said that he doesn’t know if there will be any more seasons, but, “you can see that there is potential for other things.” Swift says that you can see where the characters will go from the last episode, even if we don’t literally see it in some kind of continuation, and he’s okay with that.

Phil Dunster weirdly seems like he’d be more okay without doing more Ted Lasso, saying “it’s wonderful that people care,” but he’d hope that there’s only more if “it’s done with integrity.” He also went a step further by saying that “there’s enough TV around” and “no one wants more for the sake of it,” which is a radical concept for the entertainment industry these days. He also mentioned that he believes the creators of the show will only go ahead with a continuation “if they feel like it’s the right thing.”

So that all kind of throws a wrench in the argument that Apple is just waiting to announce a new Ted Lasso-less Ted Lasso, because then the stock answer wouldn’t be “I hope they only do it if they have a good reason,” it would be “ohhh, I don’t knowwwwww” with a dramatic wink. Maybe the Ted Lasso franchise is really dead, who knows.
