Following its breakout first season and early second season renewal, Apple TV+ has renewed Ted Lasso for a third season, ahead of its second season start of production in London early January. Since its premiere on August 14, 2020, critics and fans globally have hailed the series as "terrific," "hilarious," "heart-swelling" and "infectious." The Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh first season of Ted Lasso is now available for viewers to binge on Apple TV+. Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso, a small-time college football coach from Kansas who is hired to coach a professional soccer team in England despite having no experience coaching soccer. The series also stars Hannah Waddingham, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Phil Dunster and Nick Mohammed. In addition to starring, Sudeikis serves as executive producer, alongside Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Cougar Town) via his Doozer Productions, in association with Warner Bros.

The series was developed by Sudeikis, Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, and is based on the pre-existing format and characters from NBC Sports.

The Masked Dancer - Craig Robinson

This December, Fox takes The Masked Singer concept and adds a little twist. Based on Fox's The Masked Singer and inspired by a popular segment featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, all-new celebrity competition series The Masked Dancer will be hosted by comedian Craig Robinson (The Office, Hot Tub Time Machine). Joining the show as panelists are Ken Jeong (The Masked Singer, I Can See Your Voice), world-famous choreographer and singer Paula Abdul (American Idol), actor and the former "Giraffe" Mask on The Masked Singer Brian Austin Green (Beverly Hills, 90210) and actress and singer Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical).

The Masked Dancer will feature celebrity contestants shaking their tail feathers, while covered from head-to-toe in elaborate costumes and face masks, leaving audiences to guess their identities. Costumed celebrities will be joined on stage by masked partners and back-up dancers, as they perform a series of dances together; spanning from hip-hop to salsa, jazz to tap dancing and more. When it comes to dance styles, the sky is the limit. Each week, a series of clues will be sprinkled throughout packages, costumes and routines, leading the panelists one step closer to figuring out which famous faces are freestyling behind the masks. Between all of the celebrity competitors on the show, they've amassed more than 38 million albums sold worldwide, 20 Emmy(R) Award wins, 20 Grammy(R) Award nominations, 10 World Dancing titles, five New York Times Best-Selling Author titles, four Olympic gold medals and three Broadway show appearances. Guest judges and premiere date to be announced soon.
