Jason Sudeikis Says Ted Lasso Season 5 Writers’ Room Has Not Started
Ted Lasso’s fifth season remains uncertain after Jason Sudeikis said work on it has not started.
Sudeikis, who stars in the Apple TV series, said he would like to make another season.
The show returned this year with season 4 after a three-year break, and its finale was released on October 7.
Apple TV has neither renewed nor canceled the show, so its future is not settled.
Sudeikis said the team has not started a writers’ room, where writers would develop the season’s story and scripts.
A fifth season would depend on Apple TV and the cast being on board, though Sudeikis said he would assume the show would return if they agreed.
Without a writers’ room, a return is likely to take time, and no next steps have been confirmed.
Jason Sudeikis says the writers’ room for a potential fifth season of Ted Lasso has not started.
He said on the Talk Easy with Sam Fragaso podcast that he would like to make season 5 but does not know whether it will happen.
The series has not been officially renewed or canceled, and Sudeikis said its return would depend on Apple TV and the cast being on board.
