Ted Lasso

Updated: 12/10/2025, 5:06:23 PM Wikipedia source

Ted Lasso ( LASS-oh) is an American sports comedy-drama television series developed by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly. It is based on a character Sudeikis portrayed in a series of promotional media for NBC Sports' coverage of England's soccer Premier League. The show follows Ted Lasso, an American college football coach who is hired to coach an English soccer team whose owner secretly hopes his inexperience will lead it to failure; instead, Lasso's folksy, optimistic leadership proves unexpectedly successful. The first season of 10 episodes premiered on Apple TV+ on August 14, 2020, with the first three episodes releasing immediately. A second season of 12 episodes followed on July 23, 2021, with the third season released on March 15, 2023. It was announced in March 2025 that the series had been renewed for a fourth season. The series has received critical acclaim, with particular praise for its performances (notably Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Phil Dunster, Brett Goldstein, Nick Mohammed, and Juno Temple), humor, writing, themes, and uplifting tone. Among other accolades, its first season was nominated for 20 Primetime Emmy Awards, becoming the most nominated first-season comedy in Emmy history. Sudeikis, Waddingham, and Goldstein won for their performances, and the series won the 2021 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Sudeikis also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series. The series repeated all three of those awards the next year.

Rebecca Welton acquires the fictional AFC Richmond, a struggling club in the Premier League, as part of the settlement in her recent divorce. To get revenge on her ex-husband who cheated on her repeatedly and was never blamed for it, Rebecca resolves to ruin the club, as it was the only thing her ex ever loved. To this end she hires Ted Lasso, an American college college football coach from Wichita, Kansas, who recently coached an NCAA Division II football team to a title but knows nothing about soccer. Arriving in Richmond with his assistant, Coach Beard, he is met with hostility and resentment from his new team as well as a roomful of belligerent sports reporters, who find his sense of humor and folksy charm off-putting. In his apartment that night, he speaks to his son and wife on the phone and hints that he took the job because his wife felt she "needed space".

On his first day at AFC Richmond, Ted brings Rebecca shortbread as a present; she rebuffs his attempt at friendliness but loves the biscuits, and orders her assistant Higgins to find out where Ted gets them. Ted observes that perpetually grumpy team captain Roy Kent is at odds with talented but egotistical striker Jamie Tartt. Learning that Sam Obisanya is homesick for Nigeria, Ted throws him a birthday party the next game day even though the team has just lost. To win over Jamie, Ted seeks advice from Jamie's girlfriend Keeley, a model. She advises 'positive reinforcement', which Ted uses in a short discussion with Jamie. In an attempt to cause more problems for the team, Rebecca has a tabloid photograph taken of Lasso and Keeley seemingly being publicly intimate. It is revealed that Ted himself bakes the biscuits he gives Rebecca.

Original release date
August 14, 2020 (2020-08-14)
Knowing that tabloid newspaper The Sun has photographs of them, Ted and Keeley go to Rebecca. She has their publication stopped, fearful they will be traced back to her, but in exchange, Ted has to spend the day with Trent Crimm, a cynical reporter for The Independent. Ted tells him openly that the team's new plays were conceived by Nate, the kit man. When Trent asks him about his decision to throw a party after the previous week's loss, Ted tells him he's not concerned with wins and losses. Trent goes with Ted and Roy to a local school event and sees them win over the children. Ted then invites Trent to dinner at a restaurant owned by the family of the driver who met him at the airport; unused to Indian food, Ted is surprised by how spicy it is but eats it all (including Trent's) to be polite. Trent's write-up about the "Lasso Way" is thoughtfully positive, which exasperates Rebecca.

The team loses again, prompting Roy and Jamie nearly to come to blows. Rebecca, whilst preparing to host an annual charity ball and auction, learns that musician Robbie Williams has suddenly canceled on her, so she presses Higgins to find another musical act. Rupert Mannion, Rebecca's ex-husband, arrives at the event and takes over the auction. Ted deduces that Rupert, wanting to embarrass Rebecca, was responsible for Robbie Williams' last-minute cancellation. Rebecca warms to Keeley, and her remark about holding people accountable convinces Keeley to break up with Jamie. Thanks to Ted's intervention, Roy and Jamie begin to develop mutual respect for each other as footballers. Ted helps Higgins hire a neighborhood street performer to replace Williams, and he meets with a great reception. Rebecca, infuriated at Rupert's sudden appearance (and the fact that he donated one million pounds to the charity event to show her up) gets drunk with Keeley, and the two ride off in a rickshaw.

Ted's wife, Michelle, and son, Henry, arrive for a visit, and they have fun together as a family until Ted finds his wife in tears. She confides in him that she doesn't love him anymore and has no idea why; she promises to keep trying. Keeley attends a promotion shoot she had set up for Jamie. Rebecca and Roy both seem concerned that Keeley is wasting her time with Jamie, but she assures them that the relationship is over. On the field, Jamie continues refusing to pass to his teammates, scoring goals alone; fans and commentators begin to believe that AFC Richmond relies solely on Jamie to score. Ted sees this is bad for team morale and benches Jamie right before half-time, which is met with harsh criticism from fans. Unfazed, Ted encourages his team to embrace change and believe in themselves. The team, working together, break the 2–2 tie to win the match. That evening, as Henry and Michelle prepare to leave, Ted tells Michelle that she does not need to try for his sake to make their marriage work.

Back at their home stadium at Nelson Road, Ted discusses his night with Sassy with Beard, Nate, and Higgins, and they nickname their group the "Diamond Dogs". Keeley asks Roy to go out for coffee but he declines. Later that night, Jamie visits Keeley, and she asks him to stay.

Ted thanks Rebecca for her help during his panic attack and offers to help her when she meets some minority-share owners later that day at Mae's pub. There Rebecca is blindsided by Rupert, who announces that he helped Bex – now his fiancee – to purchase the minority shares. In response, Ted makes a wager with Rupert over a game of darts, which Ted wins, much to Rebecca's delight. On their way to dinner, Keeley and Roy's kiss is caught on camera by a paparazzo, but Roy forcefully takes the camera's memory card. The next day, Higgins implores Rebecca to stop trying to ruin the team and quits when she refuses. Keeley storms in, having discovered the picture of her and Ted on the camera card, and then realized that publishing it was Rebecca's idea. She threatens to tell Ted if Rebecca does not do so herself.

Rebecca still has not told Ted about her attempts to sabotage the team. At Keeley's prompting, Rebecca tries to tell Ted but finds she cannot. Immediately afterward, Rupert comes to tell her that he and Bex are having a baby. Rebecca marches down to Ted's office and confesses, and to her surprise, he easily forgives her. Roy is showing his age on the pitch, and there are calls to bench him. Ted refuses to do it, alienating him from Beard and Nate. Later, Ted tries to talk to Roy, but feeling betrayed, Roy goes to Keeley, who reminds him he is more than just a footballer. Having been forgiven by Ted, Rebecca seeks out and apologizes to Higgins, who returns to the club. In the pub, Ted again states he is not concerned about wins. But Beard angrily tells Ted that these are professional athletes, not students, so winning is important to them and to him. Roy finds Ted outside the pub and the two talk. Roy admits his age, and they agree to claim Roy is injured. But the next day at practice, Roy surprises Ted by showing up and donning a second team pinny, accepting his new role while still leading the team as they approach their last match.

Rebecca Welton acquires the fictional AFC Richmond, a struggling club in the Premier League, as part of the settlement in her recent divorce. To get revenge on her ex-husband who cheated on her repeatedly and was never blamed for it, Rebecca resolves to ruin the club, as it was the only thing her ex ever loved. To this end she hires Ted Lasso, an American college college football coach from Wichita, Kansas, who recently coached an NCAA Division II football team to a title but knows nothing about soccer. Arriving in Richmond with his assistant, Coach Beard, he is met with hostility and resentment from his new team as well as a roomful of belligerent sports reporters, who find his sense of humor and folksy charm off-putting. In his apartment that night, he speaks to his son and wife on the phone and hints that he took the job because his wife felt she "needed space".

On his first day at AFC Richmond, Ted brings Rebecca shortbread as a present; she rebuffs his attempt at friendliness but loves the biscuits, and orders her assistant Higgins to find out where Ted gets them. Ted observes that perpetually grumpy team captain Roy Kent is at odds with talented but egotistical striker Jamie Tartt. Learning that Sam Obisanya is homesick for Nigeria, Ted throws him a birthday party the next game day even though the team has just lost. To win over Jamie, Ted seeks advice from Jamie's girlfriend Keeley, a model. She advises 'positive reinforcement', which Ted uses in a short discussion with Jamie. In an attempt to cause more problems for the team, Rebecca has a tabloid photograph taken of Lasso and Keeley seemingly being publicly intimate. It is revealed that Ted himself bakes the biscuits he gives Rebecca.

Knowing that tabloid newspaper The Sun has photographs of them, Ted and Keeley go to Rebecca. She has their publication stopped, fearful they will be traced back to her, but in exchange, Ted has to spend the day with Trent Crimm, a cynical reporter for The Independent. Ted tells him openly that the team's new plays were conceived by Nate, the kit man. When Trent asks him about his decision to throw a party after the previous week's loss, Ted tells him he's not concerned with wins and losses. Trent goes with Ted and Roy to a local school event and sees them win over the children. Ted then invites Trent to dinner at a restaurant owned by the family of the driver who met him at the airport; unused to Indian food, Ted is surprised by how spicy it is but eats it all (including Trent's) to be polite. Trent's write-up about the "Lasso Way" is thoughtfully positive, which exasperates Rebecca.

Rupert Mannion, Rebecca's ex-husband, arrives at the event and takes over the auction. Ted deduces that Rupert, wanting to embarrass Rebecca, was responsible for Robbie Williams' last-minute cancellation. Rebecca warms to Keeley, and her remark about holding people accountable convinces Keeley to break up with Jamie. Thanks to Ted's intervention, Roy and Jamie begin to develop mutual respect for each other as footballers. Ted helps Higgins hire a neighborhood street performer to replace Williams, and he meets with a great reception. Rebecca, infuriated at Rupert's sudden appearance (and the fact that he donated one million pounds to the charity event to show her up) gets drunk with Keeley, and the two ride off in a rickshaw.

Back at their home stadium at Nelson Road, Ted discusses his night with Sassy with Beard, Nate, and Higgins, and they nickname their group the "Diamond Dogs". Keeley asks Roy to go out for coffee but he declines. Later that night, Jamie visits Keeley, and she asks him to stay.

Ted thanks Rebecca for her help during his panic attack and offers to help her when she meets some minority-share owners later that day at Mae's pub. There Rebecca is blindsided by Rupert, who announces that he helped Bex – now his fiancee – to purchase the minority shares. In response, Ted makes a wager with Rupert over a game of darts, which Ted wins, much to Rebecca's delight. On their way to dinner, Keeley and Roy's kiss is caught on camera by a paparazzo, but Roy forcefully takes the camera's memory card. The next day, Higgins implores Rebecca to stop trying to ruin the team and quits when she refuses. Keeley storms in, having discovered the picture of her and Ted on the camera card, and then realized that publishing it was Rebecca's idea. She threatens to tell Ted if Rebecca does not do so herself.

Rebecca still has not told Ted about her attempts to sabotage the team. At Keeley's prompting, Rebecca tries to tell Ted but finds she cannot. Immediately afterward, Rupert comes to tell her that he and Bex are having a baby. Rebecca marches down to Ted's office and confesses, and to her surprise, he easily forgives her. Roy is showing his age on the pitch, and there are calls to bench him. Ted refuses to do it, alienating him from Beard and Nate. Later, Ted tries to talk to Roy, but feeling betrayed, Roy goes to Keeley, who reminds him he is more than just a footballer. Having been forgiven by Ted, Rebecca seeks out and apologizes to Higgins, who returns to the club. In the pub, Ted again states he is not concerned about wins. But Beard angrily tells Ted that these are professional athletes, not students, so winning is important to them and to him. Roy finds Ted outside the pub and the two talk. Roy admits his age, and they agree to claim Roy is injured. But the next day at practice, Roy surprises Ted by showing up and donning a second team pinny, accepting his new role while still leading the team as they approach their last match.

Beard and Jane get back together; Ted and Roy advise Higgins not to voice his misgivings.

September 3, 2021 (2021-09-03)
Ted's first two sessions with Sharon prove fruitless. He leaves the first almost immediately and storms out of the second after expressing skepticism and contempt towards psychotherapy because couples therapy failed to save his marriage. But during the third visit, Ted apologizes for his outburst and decides to commit to the therapy process. Nate sees himself going viral on Twitter and being dubbed the "Wonder Kid" in the media for the triple-substitution that resulted in Richmond's recent win, but his insecurity worsens when his stern father advises humility instead of praising his achievement.

Roy begins spending every moment he can with Keeley, to the point where she feels smothered.

Ted's first two sessions with Sharon prove fruitless. He leaves the first almost immediately and storms out of the second after expressing skepticism and contempt towards psychotherapy because couples therapy failed to save his marriage. But during the third visit, Ted apologizes for his outburst and decides to commit to the therapy process. Nate sees himself going viral on Twitter and being dubbed the "Wonder Kid" in the media for the triple-substitution that resulted in Richmond's recent win, but his insecurity worsens when his stern father advises humility instead of praising his achievement.

After Richmond's loss against Manchester City, a dispirited Beard is joined at Mae's pub by avid Richmond supporters Baz, Jeremy and Paul. The four later sneak into an exclusive club, but Beard is thrown out after tearing his trousers. Mary, a woman he met at the club, offers to mend them if he comes to her apartment. She gives him another pair to wear but he is forced to flee when her hulking boyfriend Darren returns. Lost, Beard is cornered and beaten in an alley by Jamie's father and his friends, but Darren saves him, having followed him to return his wallet and phone, where Beard finds 72 angry texts from Jane. Baz, Jeremy and Paul take him home in a limo they acquired while gambling at the club, and in return Beard shows them a secret entrance to Nelson Road stadium. Unable to open his door after his key breaks, Beard stumbles into a secret nightclub beneath a church, where he finds Jane and they enjoy a night of dancing. The next morning, a sleep-deprived Beard returns to work as usual, with coffee for his fellow coaches, still wearing the sequined bell bottoms Mary gave him.

Richmond is projected to finish in last place for the new Premier League season, while West Ham is expected to be in the top four. The forecast demoralizes the team; to lift their spirits, Ted has them tour London's sewer system, using it as a metaphor for letting their difficulties and mistakes flow away, instead of dwelling on them. Photos of the team entering the sewer go viral. Nate mocks the team and Ted during a press conference, but Ted responds during his own press conference with self-deprecating jokes that charm the reporters. Roy and Keeley inform Phoebe that they are breaking up, as Roy's increased coaching responsibilities and Keeley's work establishing her new PR firm give them little time together, but Keeley suggests there are deeper problems in their relationship. Over the phone, Ted's son Henry shows him a toy that his mother's "friend" Jake bought him, unsettling Ted.

Trent Crimm begins visiting Richmond to write a book about the club; but Roy, still bitter over a scathing article Trent wrote about his debut at age 17 for Chelsea, forbids the players to talk to him. Roy and Trent eventually reconcile at Ted's urging. Keeley, struggling to lead her PR firm, hires her inexperienced model friend Shandy, which frustrates her CFO Barbara. Meanwhile Zava, a brilliant, eccentric footballer, has quit Juventus FC. When Rebecca learns Rupert wants to sign him, she confronts Zava in the men's room during Richmond's Chelsea match and harshly tells him that joining a top club like West Ham would not be an opportunity to show his greatness. At the press conference that follows, which was supposed to feature his signing with Chelsea, Zava announces he will sign with Richmond. Roy reminisces to Ted and Trent about his career with Chelsea, realizing he had never allowed himself really to enjoy playing the sport as a youth.

After losing a friendly against AFC Ajax in Amsterdam, Ted declares no team curfew in order to lift Richmond's spirits. Keeley and Jack fly to Norway to see the aurora borealis. Higgins and Will go to a jazz club in the red light district. Roy pushes Jamie into training; after tiring Roy out by leading him on a running tour of the city, Jamie teaches him to ride a bicycle. Rebecca is accidentally knocked off a bridge into a canal, but a man who lives on a houseboat rescues her, and she spends the night there. Colin heads out to a gay bar where Trent finds him and relates his own struggles with coming out. The rest of the team argue about where to go that night and end up staying at the hotel to have a pillow fight. Coach Beard prepares drugged tea for himself and Ted, and they head out separately. Ted tours the Van Gogh Museum, then has supper at an American restaurant where the movements of players in an old Chicago Bulls basketball game on the wall inspire him to create a new strategy inadvertently based on Total Football.

Richmond can win the Premier League if they defeat West Ham, and Manchester City loses or draws their final game. News hits that Bex is divorcing Rupert over his infidelities, and he may lose his team because of sexual improprieties. Ted informs Rebecca that he and Coach Beard will be going home, and Rebecca considers selling the club. Nate becomes assistant kit man under Will and later apologizes to Ted. Trent gives Ted and Beard manuscript copies of his book to critique. West Ham takes a two-goal lead in the first half of the game. At half time the Richmond players reveal they all have pieces of the "Believe" sign that Ted tore up, and they put it back together before returning to the pitch. When Richmond ties the score with a penalty kick by Isaac, Rupert assaults the West Ham manager and is jeered by the crowd. Richmond uses one of the plays Nate developed, which allows Sam to score the winning goal. Manchester wins their final game, so Richmond finishes second in the league. Rebecca sells 49 percent of the team to the fans and goes to the airport to bid Ted farewell. As she leaves the airport, she helps a child who stumbled and fell in front of her. Rebecca recognizes the girl's father, a Dutch airline pilot, as the man from the Amsterdam houseboat. Beard stays in England and marries Jane. Roy becomes Richmond's head coach and starts sessions with Dr. Sharon, who is now on the team staff. Keeley's PR firm grows, and she gives Rebecca a proposal for an AFC Richmond Women's Team. Following Ted's request to change the title of his book from The Lasso Way – because it was never about him – Trent retitles it The Richmond Way. Beard, Roy and Nate put the "Believe" sign back up in the locker room. Ted returns home and coaches his son's soccer team.

"Smells Like Mean Spirit"
MJ Delaney
Leann Bowen
March 15, 2023 (2023-03-15)
Richmond is projected to finish in last place for the new Premier League season, while West Ham is expected to be in the top four. The forecast demoralizes the team; to lift their spirits, Ted has them tour London's sewer system, using it as a metaphor for letting their difficulties and mistakes flow away, instead of dwelling on them. Photos of the team entering the sewer go viral. Nate mocks the team and Ted during a press conference, but Ted responds during his own press conference with self-deprecating jokes that charm the reporters. Roy and Keeley inform Phoebe that they are breaking up, as Roy's increased coaching responsibilities and Keeley's work establishing her new PR firm give them little time together, but Keeley suggests there are deeper problems in their relationship. Over the phone, Ted's son Henry shows him a toy that his mother's "friend" Jake bought him, unsettling Ted.

Trent Crimm begins visiting Richmond to write a book about the club; but Roy, still bitter over a scathing article Trent wrote about his debut at age 17 for Chelsea, forbids the players to talk to him. Roy and Trent eventually reconcile at Ted's urging. Keeley, struggling to lead her PR firm, hires her inexperienced model friend Shandy, which frustrates her CFO Barbara. Meanwhile Zava, a brilliant, eccentric footballer, has quit Juventus FC. When Rebecca learns Rupert wants to sign him, she confronts Zava in the men's room during Richmond's Chelsea match and harshly tells him that joining a top club like West Ham would not be an opportunity to show his greatness. At the press conference that follows, which was supposed to feature his signing with Chelsea, Zava announces he will sign with Richmond. Roy reminisces to Ted and Trent about his career with Chelsea, realizing he had never allowed himself really to enjoy playing the sport as a youth.
