Hannah Waddingham (“Ted Lasso”) returned to her musical theater roots for her newly released special “Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas” and delivered some bad news for those hoping for a “Ted Lasso” spinoff.
Christy Piña for The Hollywood Reporter:
Hannah Waddingham: Home for Christmas features special appearances from all of the stars of Ted Lasso, the hit Apple TV+ series that made her a household name around the world.
The special kicks off with Waddingham entering the London Coliseum, singing, “What Christmas Means to Me.” Nick Mohammed greets her at the door, followed by Leslie Odom Jr., Sam Ryder, Luke Evans and more of her Ted Lasso co-stars — Brendan Hunt, Kola Bokinni, Billy Harris, James Lance and Phil Dunster — as well as her 8-year-old daughter, welcoming her to the performing arts theater.
Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein and, yes, even Jason Sudeikis are also featured in the special at different points…
THR: I do have to admit, it was so nice seeing so much of the Ted Lasso cast together onscreen. Have there been any discussions of any possible spinoffs?
Hannah Waddingham: Everyone keeps asking this, but no, there’s been no word of a spinoff at all, and I have made it quite clear that unless Ted was in it… I can’t imagine really a world where Rebecca exists without Ted because they are each other’s inspiration.

Started watching this and after the first song she was proud to introduce the London Men’s Gay Chorus. OMG! Stopped watching right then and there. Never hear any introductions (anywhere, ever!) to the all heterosexual men’t chorus. But, gotta push the Woke BS! Sick people.
Hi, you of course have the right to say whatever you like involving other people’s genders, but I think it’s important to remember that gay men and lesbians have had to fight to be recognized as acceptable in our society.
In other words, when was the last time you were hassled for being a heterosexual?
Why should you be hassled if you aren’t a deviant?
When’s the last time gays were hassled? It’s 2023 man. You won. Your marriages, hand holding, and parades go on in-fettered. Stop playing the victim. You’re here, you’re queer, we don’t give a shit. What we want is for you to stop recruiting our children. And don’t say you’re not. You are. We all see it.
Do you say yay or neigh to gay?
Wow, MDN continues to have misguided comments! 🙄🙁
Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein and, yes, even Jason Sudeikis are also featured in the special at different points
it’s “nay” not “neigh” unless you’re talking horses.
Thx for sharing this update! It’s heartwarming to see the Ted Lasso cast come together for the musical holiday special. The chemistry among them is truly special. Regarding the absence of news on a spinoff, it’s understandable that Hannah Waddingham emphasizes the unique dynamic between Rebecca and Ted. Fans appreciate the authenticity and depth of their connection in the series. While a spinoff might not be in the immediate future, the reunion in the holiday special is a delightful treat for fans. Looking forward to more heartwarming moments from the Ted Lasso world. Thx for keeping us informed!
