Brett Goldstein, best known for his role as Roy Kent in Ted Lasso, has confirmed that discussions are underway for a potential film adaptation of the hit series. The actor and writer revealed the news during a recent interview, stating that conversations have taken place but no official plans have been finalised yet.
Goldstein, who also serves as a writer and co-producer on the show, expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of expanding the Ted Lasso universe onto the big screen. He noted that the team is exploring ideas that would honour the beloved characters while offering something new for audiences.
The confirmation comes as Ted Lasso continues to receive critical acclaim, winning multiple Emmy Awards for its first two seasons. The series, which stars Jason Sudeikis as the titular American football coach managing a UK soccer team, has become a global phenomenon since its debut on Apple TV+.
Goldstein added that any movie project would need to meet the high standards set by the show. 'We want to make sure it's right,' he said. 'If we do it, we want it to be great.'
No further details about the potential film's plot or release date have been disclosed at this time.
