Ted Lasso has signed a lucrative deal with England’s Premier League that will allow the show to utilize some of the League’s assets. Ted Lasso is an American sports dramedy that follows Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis), an American football coach, who is hired to coach his first English Premier League. Unwittingly, he is the result of the League’s owner’s attempt to sabotage the team by hiring an incompetent coach to spite her ex-husband. The series has achieved critical acclaim and received a staggering total of 20 Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Now, upon the conclusion of season 2, the series is looking forward to further growth.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

As reported by Collider, Ted Lasso’s producers have struck an impressive licensing deal with England’s Premier League. The deal will allow the series to utilize some of the League’s assets, including archived footage, logos, and trophies. This major licensing deal is estimated to be worth about $680,000 in US dollars. Such a deal means that the show can delve further into the inner workings of the Premier League and even connect to some of the League’s real teams and players.

The licensing deal is quite big news for Ted Lasso’s confirmed third season. It is unknown if Ted Lasso will extend beyond the next season, as stars of the show have previous indicated it will end after season 3. However, with the vast success of the show and Apple’s interest in continuing it, it is difficult to determine what the show’s ultimate run length will be. Regardless if it is the last season or setting up the show’s continuation, season 3 is going to be the biggest one yet. AFC Richmond’s return to the Premier League, combined with this new deal, promises a much more in-depth and realistic look into the workings of the League in Ted Lasso season 3.
