WBTV Group-WBD US Networks Chairman & CEO Channing Dungey appeared on the New Heights podcast where she gave an update on the next season of Ted Lasso.
In response to the rumours that series lead Jason Sudeikis has a 3 season plan, she said, "It's really all been driven by Jason. The studio, Warner Bros, and Apple were very much open to doing more 'Ted Lasso,' but so much of it was about Jason feeling good about the prospects, [being] comfortable with the idea. It's all coming from his creative brain, and we were fortunate enough to find ourselves in a place where he landed on an idea that he was excited about, and we are getting the opportunity to support him in that vision."
She continued, "We've heard the pitch for this next season, for Season 4. Is there the opportunity for the story to continue after that? Absolutely. Have I heard a whole three-season pitch? Not yet.”
Jack Burditt, Sudeikis, Toheeb Jimoh, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel will be executive producers for the new season. Brent Goldstein and Leanne Bowen will take on writing as well as being executive producers.
