Jason Sudeikis Hopes to Continue ‘Ted Lasso’ for Season 5, Says Coverage of Split From Olivia Wilde Missed a ‘Million Little Things’: ‘It’s Always More Complicated’

Jason Sudeikis says he would like to continue “Ted Lasso” for a fifth season, though no writers’ room has started and the show’s future is undecided. He also described the series as helping him through thoughts of self-harm, and reflected on how public coverage of his split from Olivia Wilde missed the complexity of their relationship.

Asked about a possible fifth or sixth season, Sudeikis said he did not know whether one would happen, but assumed Apple would continue if the main cast wanted to return. He said the separation involved “a million little things” and that personal situations are more human and complicated than simple stories of right and wrong; he also praised Wilde’s work and said he was thrilled for her.
