Ted Lasso nearly missed his SXSW panel because of the DST clock change
What you need to know
- Three of the people behind Ted Lasso almost missed their own SXSW event because of the time change.
- Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt, and Brett Goldstein were in the back of moving cars while they did the get-together via Zoom.
The ongoing SXSW event in Austin, Texas is often a great place for Apple TV+ to share content and get its people in front of fans and members of the press. And that was the plan for the people behind hit show Ted Lasso as well — but that dastardly DST time change nearly put paid to the whole thing.
According to a Deadline report, Jason Sudeikis, co-creator Brendan Hunt, and writer and star Brett Goldstein were supposed to join the event via Zoom. And they did, but it didn't all go as it was supposed to after the trio got mixed up in terms of timing — they're all in London to film the third season of Ted Lasso and the UK doesn't change its times for another couple of weeks.
While everyone did finally sync up and the event got underway, none of the three Zoom callers were keen to let the cat out of the bag about what we can expect from season three. However, Hunt did suggest that we can look forward to something of an origin story in terms of two characters in particular.
That's something to look forward to later this year — we expect the third season of Ted Lasso to land towards the final few months of 2022.
