As the final episodes shoot of what is supposed to be the last season, the cast and crew are having a tough time saying goodbye to the wholesome soccer (or football for international readers) series from Apple TV.
When talking to Deadline, Hannah Waddingham, who plays the owner of AFC Richmond, Rebecca Welton, said how she was “not ready to say goodbye” and what the show meant to her.

Executive producer, co-writer, and star of fan-favorite character Roy Kent, Goldstein, said in an interview with The Sunday Times that the third would be the final season of Ted Lasso; at least they were “writing it like that.” Co-creator Bill Lawrence of Scrubs fame told Deadline last October that was the plan by saying, “we said this series was only going to be three seasons.”

Not much is known about what’s coming for what’s set to be the final season of Ted Lasso on how the creators plan on ending the series. After a significant shift in alliances at the end of season 2, the last outing should have plenty of laughs, wholesomeness, and drama. No date is announced for the final season.
