Buried Cat

by

Brett Goldstein shares his amusing response as Ted Lasso season 4 moves forward in development. The popular Apple TV+ series concluded with its third season, wrapping up the tales of Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis), Roy Kent (Goldstein), and other characters, while also hinting at potential future stories. Following much conjecture and whispers, the continuation of Ted Lasso in a fourth season was confirmed by Apple TV+, with filming slated to start this summer.

On the NPR Wild Card podcast (as reported by Entertainment Weekly), Goldstein humorously discusses Ted Lasso season 4 being similar to the “return from the dead” of a deceased cat. He tells a story about a friend who believed their cat had passed, only for it to reappear later on. Goldstein humorously relates bringing back Ted Lasso to this unexpected feline comeback and playfully implies that the revival could be a result of having excessive power. Here’s a snippet of his remarks:

Goldstein jokes about how Ted Lasso season 4 is reminiscent of a cat coming back to life after being thought dead, sharing an amusing story about a friend who experienced something similar. He humorously suggests that the revival might be evidence of wielding too much power. Check out his comments below:

I have a college friend whose beloved cat passed away tragically. This thought often crosses my mind. The cat was unfortunately hit by a car, and they chose to bury it in their garden. At that time, my friend was just a child. After the burial, he was inconsolable, heartbroken, and weeping uncontrollably. He would pray fervently, expressing his deepest wish for the cat to return from the dead.

Later on, the cat returned, only to discover that the one they had buried wasn’t their pet. This thought often crosses my mind. I find myself musing, no wonder he’s peculiar, as he seems to believe death is not permanent, leading him down a path of madness. He truly is an enigma, for he fancies bringing back the deceased.

It seems I’m conveying the sentiment that I identify with a child in some way. To put it another way, we’ve moved on from it, and it’s as if we held a farewell ceremony. You’re suggesting there might be a chance of revival? But isn’t that beyond our control? It carries too much influence.

What This Means For Ted Lasso

The Show Was Never Truly Dead

Goldstein skillfully blends humor with insight, a characteristic that aligns well with his comedic style. Notably, he adeptly encapsulates the transformation that Ted Lasso has undergone over the last two seasons. Although potential threads for further exploration, such as the A.F.C. Richmond women’s team, Ted’s family life, and other narratives, remain open, there was a palpable sense of conclusion to Ted Lasso season 3’s finale. The end felt like a culmination of Ted’s coaching journey and the evolution of A.F.C. Richmond under his guidance.

In essence, the popular show “Ted Lasso” seemed to have been “put to rest” over time, with any mention of its return appearing more like hopeful speculation. However, as one of Apple TV+’s most-watched and critically acclaimed series, they didn’t want to keep it buried. Working closely with creator Bill Lawrence and the creative team, the comedy series was brought back to life. Just like a cat that seems deceased but isn’t, it turns out “Ted Lasso” was never truly gone; it was just a matter of time before it made its comeback.

Our Take On Brett Goldstein’s Comments

It’s Funny Because It’s True

In true comedic fashion, Goldstein’s remarks are both laugh-out-loud funny and insightful, much like a skilled stand-up act. The cat anecdote, in particular, had everyone in stitches, a testament to his background as a comedian. Simultaneously, it offers commentary on the intriguing ability of entertainment to be revived or reimagined. With Sudeikis, Goldstein, and the original creative team back for season 4 of Ted Lasso, I remain hopeful, but I also wish that its return is driven by compelling storytelling rather than just its widespread popularity.
