“It centers around Ted Lasso, an American football coach hired to manage a British soccer team – despite having no experience,” reads the synopsis. “But what he lacks in knowledge, he makes up for with optimism, underdog determination…and biscuits.”
The series stars Jason Sudeikis (Saturday Night Live), Hannah Waddingham (Game of Thrones), Brendan Hunt (We’re the Millers), Jeremy Swift (Downton Abbey), Juno Temple (The Other Boleyn Girl), Brett Goldstein (Derek), Phil Dunster (The Good Liar) and Nick Mohammed (Intelligence).
Sudeikis first portrayed the character in 2013 as part of NBC Sports’ promotional videos. His Ted Lasso videos had already garnered more than 10 million views since their release.
