Good news, Jason Sudeikis fans: Ted Lasso season 3 is officially happening on Apple TV+, and here's what we know about it so far.

The second season of the show swept up at the 2021 Emmy awards, winning a grand total of seven awards all together - including best leading actor, best supporting actress and best supporting actor.

The show follows a small-time football coach who is hired to coach a professional team in England despite having no experience coaching soccer, and the second season dropped in July 2021. Fans don't have to worry about whether they'll get another instalment: the third series was actually already confirmed.

Here's what we know so far.

When was season 3 of Ted Lasso confirmed?

As well as starring, Jason is also the mastermind behind the show - and has alway said the show was meant to be three seasons long. "The story that's being told - that three-season arc - is one that I see, know, and understood," he told EW in June. "I'm glad that they are willing to pay for those three seasons. As far as what happens after that, who knows? I don't know."

His co-star Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard, added, "I think we've always meant it to be three seasons. I think it would be pretty cool if, in the face of how much everyone likes this show, that we stick to our guns and really just do three seasons.'

What will happen in season 3 of Ted Lasso?

The truth is, we don't know - because even the cast and crew are in the dark. As actress Juno Temple, who plays Keeley, toldT&C, "I don't know huge amounts of what's going to happen to Keeley, but there's something very special about that too, because it means you're kind of living life as Keeley for five months and you can't predict the future too much."

Toheeb Jimoh, who plays footballer Sam Obisanya on the series, has also been struggling to get info from Jason, adding "I'm just trying to pull any information out of him [about future seasons]. But he's been a Jedi master with all of that stuff."
