Hannah Waddingham Reveals How She's Really Feeling About Ted Lasso's Surprise Return

Hannah Waddingham in Cannes last weekHannah Waddingham has opened up about the return of Ted Lasso.The British actor won an Emmy for her performance as Rebecca Welton in the Apple TV+ sports comedy, and later made no secret of her disappointment when it looked as though it would not be returning for a fourth season.Eventually, earlier this year, it was confirmed that new episodes of Ted Lasso were in the works after all, two years after it last aired.Speaking on Tuesday’s edition of Capital Breakfast, the former Game Of Thrones star admitted she had complicated feelings about the prospect of Ted Lasso coming back, as she and her co-stars initially thought they’d “mourned the loss”.“We were all a bit like, ‘Oh’,” Hannah admitted. “We thought we’d mourned the loss, and now it’s rising from the dead.”Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton in the most recent season of Ted LassoHowever, she added that the news was “amazing”, while letting slip that shooting is due to begin in July.Putting the show’s continued popularity down to the writing, she enthused: “Our writers are literally Jedi Knights. They’re just incredible. And we’ve got, like, a full room of real feminist men. So, we’ve got all the fabulous women in there – but the men that are in there, I think you really see [that they are feminists[ in the scripts.“You could easily have a show that was so male-dominated, because, you know, myself and Juno Temple are like the two main women in it. So, it could really be out of control – but you’d never feel that. It’s just so beautifully drawn.”View this post on InstagramA post shared by Capital (@capitalofficial)Ted Lasso star and creator Jason Sudeikis revealed in March that season four would centre around the titular character taking over a women’s football team.Jason explained: “It’s daunting, because we told the story we wanted to tell. But there’s more there. And it is a neat group of people to work with, it’s a wonderful group of people, and characters to write around and for. It’s such a great group.”Seasons one to three of Ted Lasso are now streaming on Apple TV+.READ MORE:Hannah Waddingham And Jason Sudeikis Reunite For Epic Shallow Duet And We're So Off The Deep EndHannah Waddingham Sums Up What She Misses Most About Her Ted Lasso Character In 1 WordHannah Waddingham Has Had A Bit Of A Change Of Heart About The Future Of Ted Lasso
