Wednesday’s season finale of “Ted Lasso” was the series finale viewers had been waiting for. The third and last season of the Emmy-winning Apple TV+ comedy series saw Jason Sudeikis’ Ted Lasso move back in with his son Henry (Gus Turner), as many viewers had predicted he would. Lasso’s departure significantly altered the show’s large supporting cast, including Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein).
During a montage of events that portrayed the near future destinies of various individuals, the former AFC Richmond captain, who in Season 2 embraced his post-retirement job as the team’s assistant coach, was promoted to the team’s manager. The fate of “Ted Lasso” has not been decided, but Goldstein has already said goodbye to the show that catapulted his career.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the two-time Emmy winner reflected on the front and its impact on his life in the past tense. He is widely predicted to win a third consecutive Best Comedy Supporting Actor Emmy later this year.
He wrote-
“There are too many things I want to say and not enough words to express them, But for now, I’ll just say this: ‘Ted Lasso’ was a truly magical experience… From all the writers to every crew member, to every single actor, no matter how small their part, to the post-production team, everyone brought their A-game and their warmth to the making of ‘Ted Lasso.’ I will miss getting to live in that world with them.”

Goldstein added-
“‘Ted Lasso’ changed my life in every conceivable way. I will always feel grateful for it. Thank you to everyone who watched the show and believed and cared about it in ways we could never imagine.”
“And to Jason [Sudeikis] and Bill [Lawrence] and Brendan [Hunt] and special boy Joe Kelly, and all the cast and crew, thank you for everything. I learned so much, I laughed all the time and I made friends for life. I will cherish it always. It’s been f***ing wonderful.”
It’s probable that “Ted Lasso” has concluded, but no one associated with the show has said for sure. Before the new season began, Sudeikis told Entertainment Weekly that the show’s first three seasons had completed their respective stories.
He said of the third season-
“I mean, it is [the end] of this story, yeah, for sure, We wrote a series finale. I’m still working on it; we’re still editing. I hear people loud and clear. I take it as a compliment, we all do, that people would want more. But the stories have to service that endeavour.”
“It can’t be the other way around. But this story is being told the way we had hoped and dreamed it would be told, and the fact that we got to do that is thrilling enough. But, yeah, I can’t give you a definitive answer…and not set myself up to being called a liar.”

The way Season 3 concluded suggests that the show can move forward without the main character. The season finale even hinted at a potential new title for “Ted Lasso” without Ted Lasso. Reporter Trent Crimm (James Lance) spent the entire season writing a book about Coach Lasso and AFC Richmond.
The working title of the book was “The Lasso Way.” However, after reading the proof, Ted suggested a different title: “The Richmond Way,” which acknowledges that the team (and the program) is about more than one individual. Since Goldstein is the new team manager, he likely will have a part in the show if it is produced.
