'Ted Lasso' star Juno Temple says 'cogs are turning' on season 4, isn't interested in spinoff (2025)

Keep those Believe signs posted above your doors, Ted Lasso fans, because Juno Temple is offering a promising update on season 4.

“I’ve heard the kind of stunt version of, yeah, potentially, it sounds like there might be a season 4,” Temple tells Entertainment Weekly. “I don't know when. I don't know exactly who, what, why, where, but I think it sounds like those cogs are turning.”

The Emmy-nominated actress, who stars in Oikos' new Super Bowl ad alongside Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, might not know exactly when she’ll be returning as her bubbly character Keeley Jones next, but she knows for certain that it won’t be in her own series.

“The idea of a spinoff withTed Lassois a complicated one for me, because it so feels like a team that I don't know if I would want to do a spinoff,” Temple admits. “I don't want to be a part of it if everybody else isn't. It's a team. It's a real team!”

Still, there's plenty of Keeley's story left to tell after the events of season 3. Not only was she successfully running her own PR company, but she'd also submitted a proposal to AFC Richmond owner Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) to establish a Richmond women’s football club. The latter idea is something that Temple would be interested in exploring further, if given the chance.

“I haven't thought about that, but I think that's definitelysomething I would find to be a great journey for Keeley and also for Rebecca, you know?” Temple says. “And I think, also, women's football is something that is so exciting — especially in England, we've been doing so well — but I think it's something that... I don't know, who knows? It would be a great storyline.”

Despite the excitement, it's worth noting that co-creator and mustachioed star Jason Sudeikis previously confirmed that the story they wanted to tell officially concluded with season 3. "It sounds like such a political answer, but it's the truth,” he said on a 2023 episode of David Spade and Dana Carvey’sFly on the Wallpodcast. “We only conceived these three [seasons], then this thing became this big old thing.”

That being said, Temple isn't the only Ted Lasso cast member leaving the door open on another season. Waddingham previously told EW that she was also keen to reprise her role as Rebecca but, like Temple, wouldn't be interested in her own spinoff series. "It's not really something I've thought of. But if there were more to come I'd certainly entertain the idea. I'd be crazy not to," she said in 2023. "It's a beautifully crafted role that I've thankfully had a large hand in. I'm fully invested in her, so I would always entertain that."

Interestingly enough, Waddingham was one of the few extra special people that Temple told about her and Garrett's new Oikos ad prior to its announcement. The clip, which can be seen below, features Temple sitting across from a broken-footed Garrett at the airport just as he discovers that his gate has been changed. In order to prevent him from missing his flight, Temple tells Garrett to hold onto her Triple Zero Greek yogurt and, tapping into a bit of her unsuspecting Fargo strength, launches the athlete up onto her shoulders and speedily delivers him to his gate safe and sound.

"I just loved the breakdown, the idea, the concept of, you know, being stronger than meets the eye," Temple says of her otherworldly strength in the clip. "I think that's something that—you mentioned Dorothy Lyon [from Fargo] and having this kind of ability to surprise people with strength— I think that is something that I love in my personal life. I love finding it through work. And so the idea of finding it now in a new form of work, which was a commercial, is something that was, again, just exciting for me."

The campaign also marks the first time both Temple and Garrett have ever appeared in a commercial, which brought the pair closer together on its real-life airport set. "I think Miles was surprised that I was nervous, but at the same time it meant that we were really good kind of comrades through the day of being like, 'We're both nervous,'" Temple explains. "I think I was surprised at kind of how quickly it all went by, and how you shoot it in a day, and it's like, 'Whoa.' I'm not great at endings, so I always want things to kind of go on longer, I guess."

And yes, getting the chance to eat "literally delicious" yogurt all day was just as much fun as it looks onscreen. “Miles was joking, he was like, ‘You must have eaten like, 10 or 12 of these,'" Temple adds. "And I was like, I actually think I might have on the day of shooting.”
