Publisher's summary

The definitive book on the TV show Ted Lasso, written by New York Times journalist and editor Jeremy Egner, celebrating the show’s improbable rise and cultural impact while never losing sight of the heart, friendship, and passion that have made it an enduring favorite for the ages

When Ted Lasso first aired in 2020, nobody—including those who had worked on it—knew how a show inspired by an ad, centered around soccer, filled mostly with unknown actors, and led by a wondrously mustached “nice guy” would be received. Now, eleven Emmys and one Peabody Award later, it’s safe to say that the show’s status as a pop culture phenomenon is secure. And, for the first time, New York Times television editor Jeremy Egner explores the creation, production, and potent legacy of Ted Lasso.

Drawing on dozens of interviews from key cast, creators, and more, Believe takes listeners from the very first, silly NBC Premier League commercial to the pitch to Apple executives, then into the show’s writer’s room, through the brilliant international casting, and on to the unforgettable set and locations of the show itself.

Egner approaches his reporting as a journalist and as a cultural critic, but also with an affection and admiration fans will appreciate, carefully and humorously telling Ted Lasso’s story of teamwork, of hidden talent, of a group of friends looking around at the world’s increasingly nasty discourse and deciding that maybe simple decency still had the power to bring us together—a story about what happens when you dare to believe.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with the Source Notes from the printed book.

Critic reviews

"A loving oral history... Fans will find plenty to cheer for."—Publishers Weekly

"Ted Lasso fanatics, casual viewers, and everyone in between will be riveted by Jeremy Egner's definite look into the show's history. In the extreme likelihood that a fourth season never materializes, this is the next best thing."—Andy Greene, New York Times bestselling author of The Office

"Believe is a total gem; I got that warm and fuzzy feeling all over again. It captures the spirit and love that went into the making of Ted Lasso and is a beautifully detailed reflection on an incredible three seasons."—Adam Colborne (aka Baz Primrose), actor, Ted Lasso
