Ted Lasso fans may have to wait longer than usual for its season three premiere due to scheduling delays related to filming its soccer scenes.The Apple TV+ series' co-creator and actor Brendan Hunt told TVLine on Monday that a 'football wrinkle' related to when the cast and crew can film scenes on the field is holding up production.The first season of the acclaimed series — which stars Jason Sudeikis as the title character — dropped on the streaming service in August of 2020, while season two was released even earlier in July of last year.

No rush: Ted Lasso season three will likely premiere later in 2022 than the first two seasons over a 'football wrinkle' — a delay in filming soccer seasons — co-creator Brendan Hunt told TVLine on Monday; star Jason Sudeikis seen in Ted LassoHunt said that viewers should expect season three to premiere later in 2022 after the start of filming was delayed.'We are definitely starting later this year than in Season 2, that’s for sure,' he said. 'So I would be surprised if our delivery dates were the same.

That’s above my pay grade, I don’t know for sure, but I do have a vague understanding of the limits of this dimension we call time, and I would say it seems pretty unlikely that we would [premiere] as early this year.' But he had reassuring news for fans and said filming would start 'soon,' most likely before the end of February.'It’ll happen, and it’ll take longer than people want it to, [but] we’re just going to try and get it right,' he added.
