Ted Lasso Season 2 Opening on Apple TV+ at July 23, 2021
Comedy / TV-Series (2020)
Season 2 picks up as a new soccer season begins for Richmond, which was relegated out of the Premier League at the end of Season 1 (it’s a testament to the success of the writing that its American fans are likely to actually understand that sentence after watching it when European soccer was a mystery to many ofus before). Ted may be a great person, but he still hasn’t quite mastered the art of getting his team to win some games, asdemonstrated by a frustrating run of ties to start the season. In response to the slump, and an emotional crisis for star player Danny Rojas (Cristo Fernández), the team brings in sports psychologist Sharon (Sarah Niles), whose all-business attitude clashes with Ted’s children’s party-entertainer personality.
Like the first, Season 2 leaves plenty of time for off-the-field romantic intrigue, as Roy (Brett Goldstein) and Keeley (Juno Temple) navigate their relationship while Roy deals with the fallout of retirement from pro soccer. Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) has finally shaken off the cobwebs of her brutal divorce and is attempting to date and improve her own life instead of seeking revenge by ruining her ex’s. Former Richmond star Jamie Tartt (Phil Dunster) even has his own sexy side story, as a cast member on the best “Love Island” parody yet to grace the small screen. [usatoday]
