One of the biggest things I admire about Ted Lasso is that they knew ahead of time they were only going to do 3 season and they did that.

As much as I absolutely love the show, I'm not sure how I feel about this.

What are your thoughts?

This is not a drill. "Ted Lasso" Season 4 might be happening, as the studio has secured options for three of its main stars. Here’s who could be returning.
