Bill Lawrence has been behind three of the most successful Apple TV+ shows to date. Hes co-creator of Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Bad Monkey. In a new interview with The Los Angeles Times, Lawrence has spilled new details on the upcoming Ted Lasso season 4 and Shrinking season 3.What to expect from Ted Lasso season 4Lawrence was asked about why Ted Lasso was returning for a fourth season when the show had always been conceived as a three-part story.one thing that [Sudeikis] was always very clear about, without divulging anything, is that the story that we came up with for the first three seasons was Ted Lasso had a beginning, middle and end; without a doubt it had an end, you saw him jumping around and go home. With that context, though, Lawrence defers to co-creator Jason Sudeikis as he teases what to expect from season four:I dont want to speak for him, but itd be interesting to see that theres always another story to tell with characters that people like, but its a different story. Its almost a self-reboot. I think that he [Jason] always had in his head another story he wanted to tell.It sounds like the plan for Ted Lassos continuation isnt altogether new, then, but rather an existing idea that Sudeikis has carried for some time.Shrinking tidbits for season 3 and beyondApple TV+ just aired the Shrinking season 2 finale this week, but Lawrence and team are already hard at work on the upcoming season 3.we pitched this show where the first year is about grief, second year is about forgiveness, third year is about moving forward.Lawrence mentions the following season 3 tidbits:how much hed love to get Michael J. Fox on the showhe teases the return of Cobie Smulders as a Jimmy romantic interestplans for Alice and Sean to move away, and Jimmys adjustment to that new realitySeveral of Lawrences comments involve spoilers for the Shrinking season 2 finale, so I wont include those here but you can read more in the interview.Another exciting detail involves the possibility for a fourth season of Shrinking:One of the fun things that weve done, because were in the writers room already for Season 3, is were putting Easter eggs in it as to what the new story that starts Season 4 is about. One of the cool things about streaming, what you can do now, is do a three-season story that has a beginning, middle and end. If people love those characters, theres plenty stories to tell.It sounds like Ted Lassos playbook of a three-part initial story that sets up new adventures in season 4 and beyond may be followed by Shrinking as well.What do you think of the Ted Lasso and Shrinking news?
