  • Full Trailer for ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 3

    XXlc7ws0

    It has been a little over a month since the teaser arrived for ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 3. And with the season due to debut in less than a month, it’s time for the full trailer to land.

    And while not a whole lot of plot is given away here, we do see some of the soccer action at AFC Richmond and plenty of bonding between the main team. And there are glimpses of Nate (Nick Mohammed), Ted’s prodigy-turned-rival settling into life as manager of opposing team West Ham. See more of the story below…

    What’s the story of Ted Lasso?

    ‘Ted Lasso’, which stars Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, Brett Goldstein and Hannah Waddingham, follows Sudeikis’ title character, 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, underdog determination… and biscuits (by which they mean cookies).

    The show has demonstrated an admirable commitment to balancing comedy and drama; despite Ted’s perennially sunny disposition, he’s also dealing with anxiety issues and faces problems from within and without the team. From the looks of the official synopsis, that’s set to continue in the new season.

    In the 12-episode third season of ‘Ted Lasso’, the newly promoted AFC Richmond faces ridicule as media predictions widely peg them as last in the Premier League and Nate now hailed as the “wonder kid,” has gone to work for Rupert (Anthony Head) at West Ham United. In the wake of Nate’s contentious departure from Richmond, Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) steps up as assistant coach, alongside Coach Beard (Hunt).

    Meanwhile, while Ted deals with pressures at work, he continues to wrestle with his own personal issues back home, Rebecca (Waddingham) is focused on defeating Rupert and Keeley (Juno Temple) navigates being the boss of her own PR agency. Things seem to be falling apart both on and off the pitch, but Team Lasso is set to give it their best shot anyway.

    Who else is involved in ‘Ted Lasso’?

    Ted Lasso was co-created by Sudeikis, Joe Kelly, Hunt and TV sitcom veteran Bill Lawrence (who brought the world shows such as ‘Spin City’ and ‘Scrubs’). Goldstein, in addition to starring as Roy, is also among the writing staff alongside Phoebe Walsh, Jane Becker, Bill Wrubel and Sasha Garron.

    The cast also includes Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Toheeb Jimoh, Cristo Fernandez, Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris and James Lance.

    Will Ted Lasso end with Season 3?

    There has been much speculation as to when ‘Ted Lasso’ will come to an end. Sudeikis has said that he always envisioned a definite three-act structure and end to the show and while no-one has stated specifically that Season 3 will wrap up the story, it’s looking increasingly likely as though this will be it for the series.

    Brett Goldstein had this to say about the end of the series to The Sunday Times:

    “I love all of these characters and want it to end well, but Jason has a very clear vision and always has. No one is phoning it.”

    We know that fans will want it to continue, and Apple TV+ is certainly not hoping that one of its most popular shows is going away any time soon. But there’s also value in not stretching the show out beyond its popular period.

    ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 3 kicks off on Apple TV+ with the first episode on Wednesday March 15th. New episodes will debut weekly.

  • Teaser for ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 3

    An early hit of the pandemic era, Apple TV+ comedy ‘Ted Lasso’ has since gone on to become an awards-grabbing sensation, including history-making back-to-back Best Comedy Emmys for its first season.

    With the second season ending way back in October 2021, fans have naturally been eager to learn when it’ll return. Apple has now released a teaser for the third season, confirming that it’ll kick off on March 15th.

    Who else is involved in ‘Ted Lasso’?

    Ted Lasso was co-created by Sudeikis, Joe Kelly, Hunt and TV sitcom veteran Bill Lawrence (who brought the world shows such as ‘Spin City’ and ‘Scrubs’), based on the commercials that Sudeikis and Hunt worked on for NBC’s Premier League soccer coverage in 2013.

    The cast also includes Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Toheeb Jimoh, Cristo Fernandez, Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris and James Lance.

    In addition to it multiple Emmy wins, it has also snagged SAG Awards and Critics Choice Awards.

    And while Sudeikis and co have remained quiet on whether it’ll continue after Season 3, all signs are pointing to the creators planning three seasons and stopping the show while it is still hugely popular.

    One of the biggest events in television is happening again in a couple of months – yes, the Emmy Awards are on their way. And some heavy hitters are once again nominated for multiple awards.

    Shows including ‘Succession, ‘Ted Lasso’, ‘Ozark’, ‘Stranger Things’, and ‘Barry’ are regular presences in the Emmy field, scooping plenty of nominations (‘Succession’ leads the field with 25 nods.

    Then there are the newcomers, including pop cultural sensation ‘Squid Game’, which has been winning all sorts of awards, and ‘Abbott Elementary’, which marks the rare network show to crack the nominations in the current era.

    It’s good to see that ‘Better Call Saul’ actor Rhea Seehorn has been nominated at last, a long-deserving potential award winner thanks to her superb work on the show. As usual, there are surprising omissions. Selena Gomez has shown she’s able to go toe-to-toe with comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short on ‘Only Murders in the Building’ but hasn’t been nominated here.

    The full list of nominees is below. This year’s Emmy Awards will air live on NBC on Monday, September 12th, and will also stream on Peacock.

  • Harrison Ford Joins Jason Segel Comedy Series ‘Shrinking’

    Harrison Ford at Comic Con

    We’re much more used to Harrison Ford on the big screen in the likes of the ‘Indiana Jones’ and ‘Star Wars’ movies. Yet he’s now preparing to work on his first TV series regular role.

    Ford has agreed to star in ‘Shrinking,’ a new Apple TV+ comedy series that stars ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’s Jason Segel, who also co-created and co-writes the show.

    The 10-episode series will see Segel as a grieving therapist who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people’s lives… including his own.

    As for Ford, he’ll play Dr. Phil Rhodes, a down-to earth, sharp-as-a-tack “blue-collar shrink,” blunt but with an ever-present twinkle. Phil is a pioneer in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy who has built a successful practice over the years that he shares with his two young proteges, Jimmy and Gaby. Fiercely independent, Phil has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which forces him out of his comfort zone as he grapples with intrusive friends, his estranged family and his legacy.

    This marks the latest show to come from the prodigious Bill Lawrence, who has been enjoying big success thanks to ‘Ted Lasso’, which is also produced by Apple. He has several series in production or development, but an executive producer on this one alongside ‘Lasso’ writer/actor Brett Goldstein (most recognizable as the perma-scowling Roy Kent from the soccer comedy).

    ‘Shrinking’ is coming together quickly and should be in production this year.

    Jason Segel on red carpet

    Next up in movie terms for Ford is the slightly anticipated fifth ‘Indiana Jones’ outing, which has raised plenty of interest (beyond the obvious given audiences’ love for Indy movies) as it marks the first time Steven Spielberg isn’t directing one of the films. Instead, James Mangold recently wrapped filming, with the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook, Antonio Banderas and Toby Jones filling out the main cast.

    The storyline for this latest adventure is under strict security for now, but you just know it’ll involve Dr. Jones getting into scrapes as he tries to retrieve an object. That movie is scheduled to land in theaters on June 30th next year.

    As opposed to Ford, Segel has largely found his groove on the small screen, appearing in shows such as ‘How I Met Your Mother’, ‘Dispatches from Elsewhere’ (which he also created) and, most recently, ‘Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,’ in which he plays Paul Westhead.

    Film-wise, though, Segel did recently appear in Netflix title ‘Windfall’ opposite Jesse Plemons and Lily Collins and romantic drama ‘The Sky is Everywhere’ before that.

    ‘Ted Lasso’, meanwhile, recently kicked off shooting its third (and, according to the creators, final) season in the UK and should be on our screens later this year.

  • ‘The Power of the Dog’ Wins Big at the Critics Choice Awards

    Following other major award ceremonies in getting back to an in-person event this year, the 27th Annual Critics Choice Awards were held in Los Angeles on Sunday night. And the big winner among the movie community was Jane Campion’s ‘The Power of the Dog’.

    Despite a slightly awkward clash with the BAFTAs (pandemic-forced scheduling shifts resulted in an awards schedule that was even more crowded than normal), necessitating a live link-up with a satellite room, the event managed to corral a good selection of stars and filmmakers, plus a diverse selection of TV creators and performers.

    ‘The Power of The Dog’ took home the most awards on the night, pocketing Best Picture, Best Director for Campion (who gave an entertaining speech in which she compared her competing against male filmmakers to Venus and Serena Williams – who were in the room, supporting ‘King Richard’), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Cinematography.

    Will Smith won Best Actor for ‘King Richard’, firmly showing that he and ‘Power of the Dog’s Benedict Cumberbatch are effectively neck and neck in the Oscar race this year, while Jessica Chastain got best actress for ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’.

    CODA’s Troy Kotsur continued his sweep of Best Supporting Actor categories and gave a heartfelt sign language speech via video from London. Ditto Ariana DeBose for ‘West Side Story’, the two actors now seemingly on track to lift the corresponding awards come Oscar night.

    Dune’ and ‘West Side Story’ largely scored in the technical categories, while trophies including ‘Best Young Actor’ gave the likes of ‘Belfast’s winning Jude Hill another chance to shine. Speech of the night, though, went to Lifetime Achievement Award winner Billy Crystal, who was naturally hilarious and touching all at once.

    One slight shame of the evening, mostly for timing reasons, was several relatively big categories (Screenplay for example) announced via card before and after commercial breaks.

    On the TV side, ‘Ted Lasso’ and ‘Succession’ continued their domination of the comedy and drama races, while ‘Squid Game’ saw more love. And some repeat winners took the stage, including ‘Hacks’ Jean Smart.
