‘Ted Lasso’ creator reveals more AFC Richmond depends on Jason Sudeikis: He’d ‘have to uproot his entire life and family’

Believe.

The smash hit Apple TV+ show “Ted Lasso” ended in May 2023.

But, Emmy-winning showrunner, co-creator and exec producer Bill Lawrence said there could be more on the horizon.

“You can ask anybody that wrote on the show, or acted on the show, or produced the show, and we will all say the same thing, which is, that’s up to Jason Sudeikis,” Lawrence told The Post while promoting his next Apple show, “Bad Monkey” (premiering Aug. 14).

Lawrence, who is also known for “Scrubs” and “Shrinking,” said about Sudeikis, “Because, by the way, he’s not just Ted Lasso himself and the writer co-creator — but he’s the one that would have to uproot his entire life and family, you know?”

“Ted Lasso” filmed in England. Sudeikis, 48, is based in America and shares two kids — son Otis, 10, and daughter Daisy, 7 —  with his ex-fiancée, Olivia Wilde, 40.

So, the former “Saturday Night Live” star had to relocate across the pond in order to film it, as Lawrence said.

“Ted Lasso” aired from 2020-2023, following the titular character (Sudeikis, also the co-creator), a folksy American college football coach who found himself coaching an English soccer team.

It was a “fish out of water” story. And, it was also a change in the winds for comedy, as the show centered around a nice, well-meaning man, as opposed to the kind of cynical or selfish character that had become trendy in the genre.

As the show went on, the skeptical players ended up succumbing to Ted’s charm.

Season 1 earned 20 Emmy nominations, becoming the most nominated freshman comedy in history. Seasons 2 and 3 also scored over 20 Emmy nominations, and several wins.

Season 3 had some loose ends, however — at various times, the show hinted at a romance between Ted and Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham), which never took off.

There was also a love triangle between public relations expert Keely (Juno Temple), foulmouthed veteran soccer player Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) and hotshot Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster) that fizzled out. Roy and Jamie became friends, but Roy and Keely’s breakup was still inexplicable.

The show ended with Ted moving back to Kansas.

So, there were several plot lines that felt unresolved. “Ted Lasso” could continue in a spinoff show sans Ted that follows Roy Kent and the others, or a Season 4.

Could that happen?

“As a fan, of course, I’d love to see it again,” Lawrence told The Post.

“But whatever [Sudeikis] ends up doing, I’m totally down with. And I get it.”
