You ever sit down at the end of a long day? You’re tired and burnt out. But then a thought comes into your head that instantly raises your spirits. If your like me then Ted Lasso is one of those things that makes you smile. Well don’t fret Boba Fett, because Ted Lasso Season 3 is coming (As of writing this, no release date has been announced yet).
Ted Lasso is an awards darling and one of Apple TV+ best offerings. If you’ve had the opportunity to watch Ted Lassob before, then you will and should be excited for what could be the final season.
If it is the final season, if there are no more Diamond Dogs, then Ted Lasso season 3 has some work to do in completing it’s narrative. What do you hope to see in season 3? What are some theories you may have? Smells like potential.
What to Expect in Ted Lasso Season 3
Themes and Storylines to Continue
- Flesh out the story: For a show that runs 30 minutes in length, Ted Lasso packs plenty of meaningful subject matter into each episode.
- Key themes: Mental health, parental abuse, sports, relationships, and family.
- Comedic and dramatic balance: Behind the comedy, there’s importance and drama, especially regarding Ted’s mental health.
Ted’s Mental Status
Ted’s struggles with:
- Panic attacks
- Loneliness
- Depression
His relationship with his ex-wife and son was hard to watch, and his interactions with Dr. Sharon Fieldstone took the narrative to another level. Season 3 should continue exploring these themes.
AFC Richmond and Football’s Role
- The rivalry between Rebecca and her ex, Rupert, who now owns West Ham United F.C.
- Will the sport of football play a bigger part in Season 3?
- Season 2 was about overcoming mediocrity; Season 3 should focus on:
- Sam, Jamie, and Dani’s success on the pitch.
Redemption for Nate the Great?
Nate’s Heel Turn
- Nate Shelley’s transformation into a villain in Season 2 was controversial:
- Why did Nate act this way toward Ted?
- What was his goal, and why was he so mean about it?
- Viewers were divided, but Season 3 needs to resolve the Nate vs Ted storyline:
- Will Nate be redeemed?
- Can he overcome his harsh actions or is he too far gone?
- As the new head coach of West Ham United F.C., Nate will either:
- Crash and burn as the enemy.
- Rise above as a friend and family member.
The Diamond Dogs and Relationships
Character Dynamics
- Keeley and Roy
- Sam and Rebecca
- Ted and Sassy
- Rebecca and Rupert
- The Diamond Dogs
Exploring Human Nature
Ted Lasso Season 3 should continue delving into:
- The flaws of these characters.
- Their personal growth and relationships.
- How small decisions can drastically change their lives.
Final Thoughts
As a fan of the show, I believe that Ted Lasso is one of the best series on TV today. If Season 3 is the final season, I hope every episode delivers. Ted Lasso Season 3 should offer a complete story, sending its characters off on a high note and making us all believe. As Ted says, “I believe in hope.”
