According to Bill Lawrence, co-creator ofTed Lasso, the series can only continue if Sudeikis is available. However, he has two children and it is logically complicated to be away from them due to filming (located in London). For the producer, the series should thereforeend next year, even if a longer storyline development is proposed.

This news may disappoint many fans, but it has already been preceded bya similar announcement that only three seasons would be in the works. It was then the same person who explained the reasons.
