What is Ted Lasso about?
Jason Sudeikis's comedy sketch character Ted Lasso is a hapless American football coach who has somehow blagged his way into a new job: teaching English football across the Atlantic.
The actor co-wrote the show's pilot with Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence (who also stars).
Brendan Hunt (Horrible Bosses 2) is also billed as a co-creator and stars alongside a host of transatlantic cast members, including Stephen Manas, Hannah Waddingham (How to Lose Friends & Alienate People), Bronson Webb (Game of Thrones), and Phil Dunster (Murder on the Orient Express).
Is there a tailer for Ted Lasso?
The trailer sees Ted arrive in London to find that fans - and players - are less than pleased to see him, given his lack of knowledge about the sport he's setting out to coach.
