with evil A box office smash, the theory that the Apple TV+ comedy is a modern retelling of the L. Frank Baum classic has resurfaced.
“Oh yeah, there are lots and lots of Wizard of Oz in Ted Lassosaid Goldstein, the writer and star of the show Entertainment Weekly. “It's the pinball machine that always says 'Ted's gotta go home'. There's no place like home. And then, there's no place like Richmond FC. Yeah, that's it Wizard of Oz“.
Goldstein also revealed which character each character was modeled after, saying that his character Roy Kent was the Tin Man, Jason Sudeikis's Ted was Dorothy, Hannah Waddingham's Rebecca was the Lion, and Phil Dunster's Jimmy was the Scarecrow.
“I'm sure this will cause a lot of trouble,” he added.
Ted Lasso It premiered in 2020 and quickly became a critically acclaimed darling. The first season made Emmy history as the most nominated comedy of the first year, ultimately taking home seven awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series.
The show was thought to have ended after three seasons on Apple TV+ but it's possible a fourth season could be in the works. Deadline exclusively reported in August of this year that Apple and Warner Bros. TV has optioned several main cast members in the UK.
In an interview with Bill Lawrence, the co-creator hinted that Sudeikis will have to make a decision about season four.
“Jason Sudeikis is the voice and the heart and the driving factor behind the show, not just on a professional level, but on a personal level,” he said. “This is the man whose life is turned upside down and who will make the biggest sacrifices.” “The only sure bet in Hollywood is that no one will ever talk to Ted Lasso about it until Jason makes up his mind about who he wants to talk to and what he wants to say.”
