Ted Lasso’s co-creator has admitted that the show’s creative time had hoped that the late Anthony Head might have been able to return for its most recent run of episodes.
Season four of the Apple TV+ sports comedy was the first not to feature Anthony, who died June 2026 at the age of 72, as former Richmond FC owner Rupert Mannion.
Speaking to Deadline in an interview published this week, co-creator, co-writer and actor Brendan Hunt admitted there had been “an outside hope of bringing him back in the last episode”.
