Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein gave journalists a few tantalizing teases about the state of Ted Lasso Season 3 during the panel for their new Apple TV+ show, Shrinking, at Winter 2023 TCA. Co-creator and executive producer Lawrence revealed that he’s seen cuts of Ted Lasso Season 3 and said it’s “fucking awesome.” He also revealed that Jason Sudeikis took the lead of the Ted Lasso Season 3 writers’ room and “crushed it.” Goldstein, who both writes for the show and has won two Emmys for playing Roy Kent, added, “I love it.”
Since Apple TV+ launched in 2019, the streamer’s hands-down breakout hit has been Ted Lasso. The series was co-created and developed by Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly. Fans expected Ted Lasso Season 3 to premiere in Summer 2022, but the celebrated show’s return has been delayed. In the interim between Seasons 2 and 3, Lawrence has co-created a new Apple TV+ comedy with Brett Goldstein: Shrinking.
“Jason Sudeikis ran Ted Lasso this year and crushed it,” Lawrence said. “Brett had to stay there and act and be a writer on that show. I got to — because that production was up and running, because of all the support from Apple — come here and move back to my family and home and do Shrinking.”
“[Shrinking EP] Neil [Goldman] and I have worked together for a hundred years and our safety net was we were able to call Brett in London and talk him through outlines we’d come up with. So he was able to write a couple episodes.”
Lawrence repeatedly juggled Ted Lasso questions by deferring to the higher ups. “I imagine if you’re at Apple’s press day, someone at some point will speak to Ted Lasso,” he said first, and later reiterated that we should get an update either later today or “soon.”
When a journalist asked Lawrence if Ted Lasso Season 3 had finished production, he only said he’s seen footage and it’s “fucking awesome.” Goldstein then said, “I love it.”
Shrinking stars Jason Segel as a grief-stricken therapist who begins to become involved in his patients’ lives. The series co-stars Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Luke Tennie, Michael Urie, Christa Miller, and Lukita Maxwell. While Ted Lasso Season 3 still doesn’t have a release date, Shrinking premieres on Apple TV+ on Friday, January 27.
