The Ted Lasso Series is one of those projects that initially seem to come with minimal expectations but quickly turn into a global phenomenon, and the Apple TV+ series has achieved this in just its first two seasons.

Now that the third season has started airing, many fans of the series on the Apple TV+ platform are wondering if this will be the last cycle for Jason Sudeikis and his company.

Nothing has been confirmed as of this writing, but if this is the last time we see AFC Richmond on the pitch, let’s enjoy it.

The first four episodes out of twelve are already on the air and we have already identified the central theme of the cycle: relationships.

Season two dealt with Ted’s (Sudeikis) mental health and Nate’s (Nick Mohammed) departure from AFC Richmond’s coaching staff to take over at West Ham United, which made the season a bit darker.

The new episodes seem to take a lighter approach as Ted looks to have a better relationship with his family, Nate looks to build new (and maybe old) relationships, and Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) looks for answers about her future as it’s about relationships.

Among all this if there is a relationship that stands out it is that of Jamie (Phil Dunster) with Roy (Brett Goldstein). Since the beginning of the series, one has not looked the other in the eye. But a move made by the team brings them closer.

In the same way, Mohamed stood out in season 2 because of his story and that doesn’t change in season 3. While Nate appears to be the villain of the series, he still comes across as vulnerable and unsure of himself. The way Mohamed balances the old and the new Nate could earn him another Emmy rack.

Along with the relationships, Season 3 focuses on AFC Richmond making their promotion to the Premier League. Ted and Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt), handle the pressure with clever quips and imaginative pop culture references making their scenes enjoyable.

It will be interesting to see how Ted, Coach Beard and Roy deal with a big move the club is making that will affect the future of the club and the Premier League.

Season 3 clearly has a different tone than Season 2, but the formula for the recipe to succeed is pretty much the same.

We don’t know how it will turn out, nor how the third season (or the series) ends, but surely the story continues to inspire us with the main motto of AFC Richmond, and that is “BELIEVE”.
