Jason Sudeikis has announced his return to Ted Lasso, the sports comedic drama, for season 4.
Following this, a source close to the comedic actor spoke honestly with Life & Style about his comeback, despite his previous statement that he was 'done' with the series.
Two years ago, he revealed that he finished the series on his own terms and wanted to spend more time with his children while simultaneously focusing on filmmaking.
Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde ended their seven-year engagement in 2020. The former couple has two children: Otis Alexander, a son, and Daisy Josephine, a girl.
Since season 3 produced around 25 billion viewing minutes in total, the insider informed the magazine, "Jason also saw that even six months after Lasso ended its run, it was still Apple's most popular show, and people were asking him about the character constantly."
"As fans, we'd all kill if it was going again, but everybody would say the same thing, which is: whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we're all down with it," they told me.
Jeremy Swift, Brett Goldstein, and Hannah Waddingham have allegedly been confirmed to return.
"It took him a while, but he finally came around to the idea of making more, and then it took another full year for him," a source told me. "His fellow cast members and the other show creators to make new deals to return."
Before ending, the insider divulged the actor's salary, stating, "Jason is going to be TV's highest paid actor when this show finally comes back on air, and he should be taking home around $3 million per episode."
