As speculation grows about the future of Ted Lasso, AFC Richmond captain Isaac McAdoo, portrayed by Kola Bokinni, has added his voice to the chorus of those supporting a potential fourth season. Despite the show’s third season seemingly wrapping up the stories of many characters, Bokinni has made it clear that he is ready to return should the show continue.
In an interview with The Big Issue, Bokinni spoke candidly about his feelings toward the show and his character. “Whatever happens, I’ll be there for them, because they were there for me”. This statement reflects both his commitment to the show and his gratitude for the life-changing experience that Ted Lasso has provided him.

However, the show’s success has been undeniable, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon. Ted Lasso connected with soccer fans and non-fans alike by skillfully combining comedy, emotion, and the sport. The show’s optimism and emotional depth struck a chord with viewers, earning it critical acclaim and multiple awards.
