Final season of Ted Lasso
Ted Lasso had a ten-episode first season. Season 2 was going to be ten episodes long. However, in 2021, Apple stated that two more episodes of the series had been added. Thereby, bringing the total number of episodes in season 2 to 12. The Christmas episode, ‘Carol of the Bells,’ and the most recent episodes centering on Coach Beard, ‘Beard After Hours,’ were both a part of season 2. Both episodes take a break from the series’ primary plot arc. It is to focus on and emphasize the lifestyles of the various characters outside of the Richmond football games. Fans have praised and criticized the episodes, with praise for trying something fresh and criticism for diverting from the storyline.
With Season 3 set to feature 12 episodes, the writers can now choose whether to use the extra two episodes to develop the series’ general story or to continue experimenting with side story episodes that enrich the lives of the many characters. The authors of Ted Lasso previously stated that the series’ critical praise and popularity had no bearing on their plans for season 2, and even with all of the award nominations, it is doubtful that the series’ intentions will change. Season 3 of Ted Lasso is going to be the final season, and with two extra episodes, it allows viewers a bit more time with the Richmond team.
