It’s not uncommon for great shows to lose their charm when stretched for too long, with major examples beingThe Walking DeadandThe Office. Despite being regarded as one of the best sitcoms of the 21st century, the latter half of the sitcom struggled to reach its previous heights, and post-season 5, the show kept on resorting to contrived plotlines.
With Ted Lasso getting renewed for a new season, fans fear the Apple TV hit, which became a major critical success that smashed viewership records, might be heading for a similar fate.
Fans Aren’t Thrilled byTed Lasso’s Potential Return
Following its premiere in 2020,Ted Lassobecame a surprise hit for Apple TV, thanks to its hopeful themes and light humor, while also becoming a recipient of 11 Primetime Emmy Awards. Although the season 3 ending wrapped everything tightly, it appears Apple is once again rolling the ball on the acclaimed show and fans are less than thrilled about this. Considering that it’s not uncommon for shows to lose their touch over a prolonged period, fans fear the lone motivation behind the show’s potential revival might be based on its popularity.
Seemed pretty done. I hope they’re not just throwing some crap together bc it was popular
I fear this is exactly what’s happening
They really seemed adamant that the show was done, but I guess the popularity brought it back. Will Roy have to give up his management position now 😭
Booo just let it be!!!
Good to hear. Just hope Ted Lasso season 4 is better than Season 3, which was the weakest of the 3 seasons. It seemed to miss some charm.
With three actors from the main castreportedlyreturning, which involvesHannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift, Jason Sudeikis is also expected to return in some form.
Spin-off Should’ve Been the Way To Go forTed Lasso
Although season 3 concluded things perfectly for Ted Lasso, this isn’t to say there was no room for more stories to tell. Back in 2023, speaking on theFly on the Wallpodcast,Jason Sudeikisshared“Yeah, there’s opportunities, I think, for spinoffs“, which could’ve proven to be the right step moving forward for the acclaimed show.

In recent years, spin-offs have proven to be a great way to explore other interesting characters from the main show, with one example beingBetter Call Saul. Instead of draggingBreaking Badfor additional seasons, which would’ve made sense from a studio perspective, the writers’ decision to end the show at its peak has cementedBBas one of the best in the business.
Moreover, their decision to proceed things with its spin-off,Better Call Saul, not only paid off critically, but it also complimented the parent show. With fans skeptical aboutTed Lasso‘s potential revival, heading for a spin-off show, starring another character at the forefront, would’ve been an ideal way to continue things for the acclaimed Apple TV show.
