According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. Television has picked up options on British cast members Hannah Waddingham (who played Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins), who were contracted under the United Kingdom acting union Equity.
The studio allegedly still needs to make new deals for the actors represented by SAG-AFTRA in the United States, which includes Jason Sudeikis (who played title character Ted Lasso) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard)— who co-created, executive-produced and starred in the show — and Juno Temple (Keeley Jones).
Earlier in August, co-creator Bill Lawrence told Collider the future of the show is dependent on Sudeikis after dismissing the season four rumors as “groupthink.” Overall, he said, “Whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it.”
