Brett Goldstein gave the most direct answer when he told E! News that the series had a ’three-season arc’ and is set to come to an end this season. Bill Lawrence also told Deadline: “I would probably stay clean and say that even if Ted Lasso goes on, the story the writing staff has been telling had a beginning, middle, and end for the first three seasons. And then it might veer off from that.” Here are Jason Sudeikis’s comments to Entertainment Weekly in June 2021: “The story that’s being told - that three-season arc - is one that I see, know, and understood. […] I’m glad that they are willing to pay for those three seasons. As far as what happens after that, who knows? I don’t know.” Ted Lasso coordinating producer Adam Hamilton recently posted this heartfelt tribute to the show’s cast and crew, with lots of telling past tense language in the caption. “I asked [Jason] recently,” Hannah Waddingham told E! News. “And he went, ‘Yeah, I think so, for now.’ And I was like, ‘OK.’” On the other hand, Juno Temple told Variety’s Award Circuit Podcast back in July 2022 that “No one has told [her] it’s over.”
It should noted that these comments are from July 2022, well before the show finished filming. It’s possible Hannah hadn’t seen the final scripts at that point.
