Slap a smile on your face because a new dose of Ted Lasso is coming your way.

Apple announced the Jason Sudeikis series will return on July 23, which still seems so far away, but at least now we have something to count down to.

It also dropped the first trailer for season two, which hints at some of the upcoming storylines, including a no-sugar sports psychologist whose stern visage refuses to melt at Ted’s chipperness, and the fact the team is chasing a win after a series of draws.

The season picks up after the events of the season one finale which saw the fictional Richmond FC relegated out of the Premier League.

But in the silver lining of the major setback is a team that’s in a better place, emotionally and mentally, than before the arrival of the American football coach who knew nothing about the world game but plenty about inspiration.

Ted Lasso was a surprise hit and viewer favourite in 2020, an unassuming comedy whose emphasis on kindness was a salve for a TV audience bruised by a difficult year of compounding traumas.

It wasn’t just popular among fans though, with Sudeikis, who co-developed the show from a series of TV ads he starred in for NBC Sports, picking up a Screen Actor’s Guild Award, Golden Globe and Critic’s Choice Award for his performance.

He’s the current frontrunner to win an Emmy in August.

The series also stars Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple and Brendan Hunt.

Ted Lasso is among Apple TV+ original comedy offerings which also includes Mythic Quest, Trying, Central Park and Dickinson, all of which proceeded to second seasons.
