The team’s back together for Apple TV+’s ‘Ted Lasso’ season 2 and brought, even more, laughs, tears and courage on the AFC Richmond football field.
The highly anticipated second season, executive produced by and starring Jason Sudeikis, will include 12 episodes this time around. Sudeikis plays Ted Lasso, an American football coach hired to manage a British soccer team—despite having no experience. But what he lacks in knowledge, he makes up for with optimism…and biscuits.
The award-winning comedy series has been honored with global recognitions including the Peabody Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Golden Globe Award, since its debut in August 2020.
