‘Ted Lasso’ Characters We’d Like To See Get a Spinoff
Football might be life, but we need more 'Ted Lasso' in ours!
You better believe we'd watch any Ted Lasso spinoff.
With Season 3 bringing "this story" that the Apple TV+ series set out to tell to an end, fans have been rooting for more of the feel-good comedy. Much to their delight, Jason Sudeikis has told Deadline, "I think that we’ve set the table for all sorts of folks … to get to watch the further telling of these stories."

Whether that could possibly mean a fourth season or spinoff remains to be seen, but Brendan Hunt revealed to Yahoo Canada ahead of the Season 3 premiere that "everything is on the table."
While we would like to continue with all of the Ted Lasso characters' stories, here are six, including Roy Kent and Sam Obisanya, who we'd like to see get a spinoff.

Ted Lasso Spinoffs We'd Like to See
Apple TV+
Keeley Jones
The positive, business-savvy character is portrayed by Juno Temple (and loosely based on Keeley Hazell, longtime pal and onetime lover of Sudeikis in real life). Although Keeley once told Rebecca that she is "sort of famous for being almost famous," she went on to become a girl boss and opened her very own PR firm. The actress had told Variety that the perfect ending for Keeley, who's dated Roy Kent and Jamie Tartt, would be for her to “be happy on her own, doing what she’s doing before she could be the best partner to anybody.”

Roy Kent (and Phoebe!)
Roy Kent is a legend on and off the pitch, so we'd of course tune into a series about him and his adorable niece Phoebe. In an exclusive interview with Parade ahead of the Season 3 premiere, Brett Goldstein, who plays the footballer-turned-coach, said, "I really love playing this part. I really, really love it." He also previously told Parade, "I would happily do that show until I die. I'm Richmond 'til I die."

Sam Obisanya
We can't get enough of Sam! The lovable player, who protested AFC Richmond's sponsor Dubai Air, dated club owner Rebecca Welton and opened up a restaurant, is played by Toheeb Jimoh. According to Variety, the actor has said he is interested in continuing to tell Sam's story. Jimoh said, “Whether that happens or not though, I think wherever I go next in my career, there will always be a little bit of Sam Obisanya with me, and it’s going to be a really tough character to say goodbye to."

Flo Collins ("Sassy")
Played by Ellie Taylor, Flo Collins a.k.a. Sassy is Rebecca's outgoing, single best mate. She is a child psychologist and mother to a teenage daughter named Nora, who is Rebecca's godchild. Sassy is a supportive friend and has slept with Ted—could they end up together one day?! Either way, she's a hoot as a recurring character, so we can only imagine what a Sassy series would be like!

Coach Beard
Coach Beard, played by Brendan Hunt, is Ted Lasso's wise and mysterious right-hand man and pal. Viewers got a taste of Beard sans Ted in the Season 2 episode titled "Beard After Hours." We'd like to learn more about the man under the hat and set out on more adventures through London with him.

Dani Rojas
Ted Lasso has described Dani Rojas as a "joyous, raven-haired golden retriever" on the pitch. Played by Cristóbal Fernández, the spirited footballer from Mexico is passionate about the sport, has one contagious smile and is behind the memorable quote, "Football is life." Let's see what else is going on in his life in a Dani spinoff!
