Ted Lasso Rebecca Welton actor Hannah Waddingham addresses the show's potential spinoffs plan following the conclusion of the upcoming season 3.
Hannah Waddingham addresses possible Ted Lasso spinoff plans following season 3. Based on a character originally created for a series of NBC Sports advertisements for their coverage of the Premier League, the Apple TV+ show stars Jason Sudeikis as the titular character, an overly positive American football coach hired to manage an English football team with no prior experience with the sport.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Speaking with Deadline, Waddingham discussed potential Ted Lasso spinoff shows following season 3's conclusion. When asked if Waddingham's character, Rebecca Welton, will receive a spinoff series of her own, the actor responded, "No." However, she left the door open for future Rebecca stories, as well as stories for other characters, down the road.
To be honest, I genuinely don’t know. And you never know how they’re going to splice the season together either. There’s the opportunity and the fodder for several of the characters to spin off in their own direction. And I think the characters are so beloved that it would be reasonable for them to do so. But I know for a fact that there’s no plans of anything like that at the moment. To be honest, I’m not even sure that at this moment Jason even knows what he wants to do.
Nigerian right back Sam Obisanya has captured the hearts of audiences around the world his endless optimism and charming personality. With Sam proving his loyalty to AFC Richmond at the end of season 2 by rejecting a lucrative deal to play in his home country, the character is ripe for his own spinoff.
Ted Lasso can continue without Sudekis if the series were reframed. A possible season 3 conclusion could see former assistant coach and current West Ham United manager Nate Shelley return to AFC Richmond and replace Lasso. The series could become an employment-focused sitcom, similar to Parks and Recreation or Abbott Elementary, centered around running a Premier League football club instead of focusing on the fish-out-of-water premise Ted Lasso is known for.
