Ted Lasso is arguably at an advantage here, being one of the most recent shows to land on the platform. However, other recently added shows don't seem to have made the same impact as the comedy, which stars Jason Sudeikis as a football coach hired to run a soccer team in England. From Apple:
Jason Sudeikis plays Ted Lasso, a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer.
In addition to starring, Sudeikis serves as executive producer, alongside Bill Lawrence ("Scrubs") via his Doozer Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal Content. Doozer's Jeff Ingold also serves as an executive producer with Liza Katzer as co-executive producer. The series was developed by Sudeikis, Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, and is based on the pre-existing format and characters from NBC Sports.
Ted Lasso recently aired its season finale and is available to watch in its entirety on the platform now. A second season has already been confirmed.
