Are you in a clockwork orange situation here? Don’t watch it. I won’t, I think it ended fine and the writing started to get stale by the end. Season 1 is by far the best.

I'm glad Apple makes TV Shows. I've had the same feelings in the past, but they've proven that they are very good at this.
I'm not certain this should happen but I enjoyed Ted Lasso more than enough to give it a go when it releases.
I agree with you that the series ended perfectly.
However, it's Apple who needs (wants) the money as this is an Apple TV+ series and it's Apple who greenlit season 4.
‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4 A Go With Jason Sudeikis & Women’s Team; Juno Temple In Negotiations To Join Returning Cast As Apple Series Heads To Kansas
Apple TV+ has greenlighted a fourth season of Ted Lasso, with Jason Sudeikis set to return, coaching a women's team. It will film in Kansas & UK.

You better believe it: Ted Lasso is officially back as Apple TV+ has greenlighted a fourth season of its flagship comedy series, with Jason Sudeikis set to return as star and executive producer.
According to sources, Juno Temple, who played Keeley in the first three seasons, is in negotiations to rejoin fellow original cast members Sudeikis (Coach Lasso) as well as Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca), Brett Goldstein (Roy) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie) who were locked in for the new installment back in August.
And, picking up where Season 3 left off, I hear the Season 4 premiere episode will film in Kansas (likely Kansas City) before Ted Lasso heads back to the UK. Casting of new roles is expected to begin shortly, with production eying a July start, sources said.
Apple is adamant about making Apple TV+ succeed by trying to grow subscribers and revenue.
They do this by pumping out the familiar content. That's the easiest thing to do as trying to come up with something fresh and new is risky and expensive.
Yup nothing like taking a hit series and giving the fans what they want. That is very familiar, Apple doing what it does best.I agree with you that the series ended perfectly.

I'm not saying a 4th season is a bad thing. Just pointing out to emmab2006 that this was Apple's decision and the likely reason behind hit.
It always is Apple decision. Right? Meaning that it’s a two way street if either production company approaching Apple or vice-versa.
See that shark over there?
I have an idea.

I don't care if Sudekis is in it. He's just great. But I'll watch anything with Hannah Waddingham. Even trash like Game of Thrones…
Just don't exaggerate and bring the numbers of a FINAL to a debate about audience. Women's football only survives because men's football sustains it.
I also watch women's football occasionally (other than international tournaments) and the sporting/entertainment value is there and kind of a shame that it's not sustainable on its own when many men's football teams should not even be in pro leagues yet they play in their country's first division.
Can anything just end in this day and age? My wife and I watched and enjoyed, but the story is over.
The lead up for a women's team has been in Ted Lasso since the very first few episodes (maybe even the first one), where he bumps into a girl playing with a football on Richmond Green. With the rise in interest in women's football in recent years, particularly in the UK where this show is set (England won the Women's Euros in 2022) coupled with the show's stories about women's empowerment both with Rebecca and Keeley, this comes across as a natural progression of storylines and world events.
And Ted Lasso did not end perfectly. Ted's storylines seemed resolved but many other characters had story lines that weren't wrapped up and there was clearly more to tell. I'm personally surprised that this has ended up being an actual fourth season rather than the "Richmond Way" rebrand/spinoff that I was expecting this extra season to end up being. This doesn't come across at all as a show being milked for more money. Multiple seasons of good shows used to be the norm and I'm glad that the writers will get the opportunity to finish telling what they started without being hobbled by just a few seasons.
Yup, and same thing can be said about other studios caving into doing the same thing too (looking at you, Disney)
Season four should be about Ted being hired by Tim Cook to lead the Siri team. Go meta, lean into the humor of seeing an Apple TV show about an Apple product failing, build up characters and tell us the story of how Apple Intelligence failed through the lens of Ted Lasso.
I’m not optimistic, but I think these guys have earned the right to try a season 4 if they want.
this show was done after 2 seasons - it was tight and good and fresh and solid. Now its like dragging a dying horse to battle. Give it up and stop ruining the memory of good things
As a huge fan of the show from the beginning, I hate this. It was perfect and ended perfectly.
I don't see this as a good thing. The show will have to go a completely different direction and that might make it difficult to capture the original charm of the show. Season 3 wrapped up all loose ends very nicely.
After enjoying the 1st season, I did not even get to completing the 2nd season. Some episodes felt like watching Sex and the City. Why they would mix content like that I don’t know.
All they had to do is make a show for a target audience and keep it that way. What’s so difficult about that?
