This Sneak Peek Of 'Ted Lasso' Season 2 Introduces A New Character

With 20 Emmy nominations for its first season, Ted Lasso returns flying high for Season 2. Fans are ready to watch the team of AFC Richmond once again attempt to win against all odds. (The 2020 Euros loss by the U.K. team is merely a real-life accidental promotion Apple's money couldn't buy.) They're also ready for more of Ted Lasso and owner Rebecca Welton's oddly compelling relationship. The two will begin on new ground this season after Rebecca's change of heart, going from evil team owner pushing Lasso to lose to a true believer in his gentle style.

Rebecca's journey was Season 1's secret weapon, with actor Hannah Waddingham creating a beautiful three-dimensional portrait of a woman trying to work her way through the anger of divorce and towards a better, happier life. Her relationship with Lasso and realizing that toxic masculinity isn't the key to a successful life is one of the first season's best arcs. But those who thought Ted Lasso would go directly to a will-they-or-won't-they for Ted and Rebecca are in for a surprise. The first clip from Season 2 reveals that Rebecca has moved on from her divorce and is re-entering the dating pool, and Ted isn't even on her radar.

Instead, Rebecca's got an all-new beau, and Keeley is here to be her support system, while Ted is left in the dust of girl talk.
