Ted Lasso
The warm-hearted, fish-out-of-water sports comedy from Apple TV+ is back with Jason Sudeikis reprising his role as the titular Lasso, a charming small-time American football coach, who in the first series was hired to coach a Premier League team “the Lasso way”, despite having little experience of soccer. But what Ted lacks in knowledge, he makes up for with dogged optimism, belief in people – and bribes of home-baked biscuits. But with AFC Richmond relegated at the end of last season, not all is well, and the trailer suggests we are set to see Ted’s angry side – and his alter-ego ‘Led Tasso’. But will this turmoil lead to a new beginning for the team and their leftfield coach? Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, and Nick Mohammed return among the brilliant ensemble cast, while they are joined in this series by Sarah Niles as a sports psychologist. Watch the trailer here. Premieres 23 July on Apple TV+.
