Ted Lasso: Season 1
Original Broadcast Date: August 14, 2020
In a bitter divorce settlement from her billionaire husband Rupert Mannion, Rebecca Welton (series star HANNAH WADDINGHAM) becomes the new owner of British football team AFC Richmond. She's assisted by her garden gnome Director of Communications (and later Director of Football Operations) Higgins (series star JEREMY SWIFT), who formerly worked for her husband. Her first order of business is to fire the team's current manager and replace him with American football coach Theodore "Ted" Lasso (series star JASON SUDEIKIS). Formerly a second-rate coach from Wichita Kansas, Ted and his friend, assistant Coach Beard (series star BRENDAN HUNT) cross the pond to take up the management of the team's "long, albeit modest" history. Although he is nationally ridiculed for doing something so stupid, Ted presses on to change the team's profound mediocrity. He gets to know the team - including Team Captain Roy Kent (series star BRETT GOLDSTEIN), top scorer Jamie Tartt (series star PHIL DUNSTER) and more - but finds his first friend in the locker room assistant Nathan (series star NICK MOHAMMED). Half a world away from his wife and child, Ted could use a friend. But he presses on, nevertheless. Richmond is about to change the way they're doing things - the Lasso way.
