Emmy Awards 2022: ‘Ted Lasso’ Flourishes With 20 Nominations After Record-Breaking Win Last Year

It’s said that if you wish for something wholeheartedly, you will receive it. ‘Ted Lasso’ has once again been nominated in multiple categories for this year’s Emmy Awards. The news was announced on July 12.

The beloved Apple TV+ show’s second season received 20 Emmy nods in categories including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, and more.

‘Ted Lasso’ Dominates Emmy Nominations

In the acting category, stars like Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Toheeb Jimoh, Juno Temple, Sarah Niles, and Nick Mohammed have been nominated. Also, guest actors like James Lance, Sam Richardson, and Harriet Walter got nominated for the guest actor category.

Last year, the series successfully dominated the awards season by taking home many trophies. ‘Ted Lasso‘ creator and star Sudeikis won Emmys for his performance as the titular soccer coach Ted. Also, Waddingham took home an award for her portrayal as AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, and Goldstein scored for his turn as veteran soccer player Roy Kent. The show also bagged the award in the outstanding comedy series category.

Is Ted Lasso Coming To An End?

The much popular show is actually coming to its end and fans must accept it. Sudeikis had revealed back in 2021 that they originally imagined the story of ‘Ted Lasso‘ running for three seasons with a “clear beginning, middle, and end.” But, he also said that the plan could change going forward.

However, Goldstein seemed to confirm that the plan for three seasons was still happening in an interview with the Sunday Times this year, saying, “It was planned as three.”
