Apple Holds Screening Event of 'Ted Lasso' Season Two Ahead of Global Premiere Next Week
Ahead of its global premiere next week, Apple today held a screening event for season two of the Apple TV+ hit comedy series "Ted Lasso" at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, and was attended by the cast and creators of the show, including Apple CEO Tim Cook.
"Ted Lasso" first aired last year as one of the first original series for the Apple TV+ platform and has since grown in popularity. The second season of the show, which will consist of 12 episodes with an episode premiering every Friday, will premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, July 23. Even before its debut, Apple has already renewed the show for a third season, which the creators of the show have hinted may be the last.
This week "Ted Lasso" scored an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, alongside 20 overall nominations. Jason Sudeikis, who plays Ted Lasso in the show, was also nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

They are beautiful
I needn’t have worried.
The series is funny and well observed and while there are some jokes they are clearly aimed at an American audience and make absolutely no sense to me whatsoever, there’s enough excellent content to make me laugh out loud.
Really looking forward to the new season and may even watch it weekly… I rarely do that when streaming services don’t release everything at once - I normally wait until it’s all available before I start watching.
Amazing coincidence that my oft-extended free Apple TV+ subscription ends on July 22nd.
