The Ted Lasso Finale Teases a Female-Centric Spin-Off

I’ll be the first person to admit that this season of “Ted Lasso” has been a bust in a lot of ways, but I’ll also admit that the Rebecca and Keeley reveal made me giddy. Waddingham and Temple have fantastic chemistry and their characters’ friendship is among the best parts of the show, so seeing it wasted on stray love interests and bizarre psychic predictions this season was disheartening. If the world of “Ted Lasso” lives on in another form, a new team with these two hilarious, charming, dynamic women in charge seems like the most surefire way to make it great.

Plus, the final scenes also left the door open for several more characters to make appearances, should “Ted Lasso” truly call this its series finale and move onto a re-titled spin-off. Nate (Nick Mohammed), Roy (Brett Goldstein), and Beard (Brendan Hunt, who once and for all solidified himself in this episode as the show’s funniest actor) all seem to be sticking around for whatever the future of AFC Richmond holds, and their taped-together “believe” sign hints that they plan to keep the Lasso spirit alive for whatever comes next.
