Will there be a Ted Lasso season 4?

Ted Lasso season 4 is less likely than a spin-off

Season 3 of Ted Lasso was enough of a conclusion that it’s easy to understand why fans may be wondering whether we could ever get more from the show, which is one of the best on Apple TV+. After its first season, the show emerged as a genuine phenomenon at a moment when many people were especially receptive to its message about the need for kindness in everyday life.

Although the show became less overwhelmingly beloved in subsequent seasons, the show retained a large and loyal following after its third season finale. The question remains, though: Will there be a Ted Lasso season 4? Will we get more?

The third season of Ted Lasso aired early in 2023, and at the time, star and creator Jason Sudeikis was pretty clear about that being the show’s final season. Since then, though, rumors have continued to pop out about whether there could be a fourth season in the works. Bill Lawrence, who co-created the show with Sudeikis, recently addressed the question in an interview with Collider

“Whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it,” he said. Lawrence also added that Sudeikis had sacrificed a lot to star and write the show, focusing in particular on his relationship with his two kids with ex Olivia Wilde.

“Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children,” Lawrence said. “So, as a fan, if someone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s gonna happen again,’ I’ll go nuts. As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do.”

Sudeikis has been pretty definitive in the past

While it’s impossible to close the door on a season 4 definitively, Sudeikis was pretty clear when season 3 debuted that it was the end of the story he was hoping to tell. What Sudeikis left open, though, was the possibility that we could get spin-offs focused on other characters.

“I think that we’ve set the table for all sorts of folks … to get to watch the further telling of these stories,” he said at the time in an interview with Deadline. He added that he was flattered that there was such a strong desire for more seasons.

“It’s really kind of folks to even consider that because you never know what’s gonna happen if you make things,” he said. “The fact that people want more, even if it’s a different avenue, is lovely.”

For now, then, it seems like we probably aren’t getting any more of Ted Lasso in its current form in the near future. While plenty of fans may still be hankering for more from the show, Sudeikis would have to change his mind for us to get more from the show.

We could be getting some live episodes of ‘Hot Ones’ on Netflix
The talks are part of a wave of interest Netflix has had in launching live programming.

One of the core innovations of Netflix when the streaming service first launched was the notion that you could watch whatever you wanted on demand. More recently, though, the streaming service has moved towards hosting at least some things live on its streaming service. Those kinds of live events ensure that more people are eagerly anticipating and watching at the same time, and you can always catch up later if you miss it.

According to reporting in Variety, one of Netflix's newest live gambits could be live episodes of the interview show Hot Ones. The show, which is hosted by Sean Evans, involves celebrities eating increasingly spicy wings while they answer a series of interesting question from Evans, who is eating the wings right alongside them.

George R.R. Martin is happy with that other ‘Game of Thrones’ spin-off

George R. R. Martin has been making all sorts of news lately because of his opinions on the second season of House of the Dragon. Now, though, the Game of Thrones author is apparently turning his attention to the other spin-off of his franchise that is currently in development. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms won't hit TV screens until 2025, but during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Martin said that he was happy with the way the show was developing.

"I visited the set in Northern Ireland in July and loved what I saw. Great cast. [The lead characters] Dunk and Egg look as if they walked out of the pages of my book. My readers are going to love them. I certainly do. [Showrunner Ira Parker] is doing a great job," he said.

The first ‘Penguin’ reviews are out: Here’s what they’re saying about the ‘Batman’ series
The series is a spin-off of the new Robert Pattinson version of 'The Batman'
Colin Farrell in 'The Penguin.'

It may have seemed like a strange and maybe even foolish choice to make an entire spin-off series to The Batman focused on Colin Farrell's Oswald Cobblepot. Farrell is only in the movie for a few key scenes, and crucially, he doesn't exactly resemble the handsome Irish movie star Farrell usually appears on screen as.

Now, The Penguin is on the verge of arriving on Max, and the first reviews for the new series have been released. Those reviews have been generally positive, with many suggesting that the show feels more like a gangster series than something set in the world of The Batman. They've also had praise for Farrell and Cristin Milioti, who plays Sofia Falcone in the film.
