Plot of ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 3
As for what viewers can expect from the new season, the show’s editors A.J. Catoline and Melissa McCoy said to keep an eye on Hannah Waddingham and Nick Mohammed’s characters.
“[Nate’s] on a trajectory, career-wise…From Season 1 as kitman, then he became a coach, and now he’s the coach of West Ham,” Catoline told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Jason is so very generous as a producer and creator. He gives all of the characters a storyline. I think that’s why [the episodes] are so full…There so many storylines; he wants every character to have an arc.”
As for the official synopsis, it hints at what could be some tough times ahead for Lasso and AFC Richmond.
“In this 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 (Nick Mohammed), now hailed as the “wonder kid,” has gone to work for Rupert (Anthony Head) at West Ham United,” it reads.
“In the wake of Nate’s contentious departure from Richmond, Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) steps up as assistant coach, alongside Beard (Brendan Hunt).
“Meanwhile, while Ted (Jason Sudeikis) deals with pressures at work, he continues to wrestle with his own personal issues back home, Rebecca (Hannah 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.
