    Ted Lasso’s future is up to Jason Sudeikis.

    That’s what Ted Lasso co-creator Bill Lawrence told Collider when asked about what’s next for the series following its season 3 finale:

    Whatever Jason [Sudeikis] feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it… Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children... As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do.
