Currently in its third season, Ted Lasso, the multi-award-winning, history making comedic masterpiece now streaming on Apple TV+, has charmed and inspired audiences the world over.  Debuting during the pandemic, it struck a chord with viewers drawn to the title character's "Be Kind" mantra as well as the acclaimed performances of its gifted ensemble cast. 

"Ted Lasso embodies heart and soul and has captured the attention and imagination of audiences from around the world. The series has served as comfort during our most difficult times, and we are delighted to celebrate the series and bring some of that joy to its adoring fans." said Maureen J. Reidy, President and CEO of The Paley Center for Media.  

Following its global debut on Apple TV+ in August 2020, Ted Lasso became the most Emmy-nominated freshman comedy series in history, landing top honors and awards including back-to-back Emmys for Best Comedy Series. The series about an American college football coach who takes over a top-flight English soccer team, was blessed with perfect timing. Ted Lasso's (Jason Sudeikis) relentless optimism in the face of every crisis was a balm amid the grinding anxiety of the pandemic and the presidential election. The magnificent performances of the entire ensemble resonated with global audiences and propelled the series to a record number of award wins and industry accolades. 

In addition to its Emmy accolades, "Ted Lasso" has been recognized with an esteemed Peabody Award; a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series Award for Sudeikis; three Critics Choice Awards including Best Comedy Series, Best Actor in a Comedy Series for Sudeikis, and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Hannah Waddingham, sweeping all categories in which the series was nominated; and in addition, the Writers Guild of America crowned "Ted Lasso" with honors for both Best Comedy and Best New Series.

Ted Lasso is among of the most celebrated comedies in history with back-to-back Emmy wins for Outstanding Comedy Series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards and the series once again becomes the most Emmy Award-winning comedy.
