Believe: The Untold Story Behind Ted Lasso, the Show That Kicked Its Way into Our Hearts | Jeremy Egner
7 posts | 7 read | 10 to read
The definitive book on the TV show Ted Lasso, written by New York Times journalist and editor Jeremy Egner, celebrating the shows 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, nobodyincluding those who had worked on itknew 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, its safe to say that the shows 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 readers from the very first, silly NBC Premier League commercial to the pitch to Apple executives, then into the shows writers 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 Lassos story of teamwork, of hidden talent, of a group of friends looking around at the worlds increasingly nasty discourse and deciding that maybe simple decency still had the power to bring us togethera story about what happens when you dare to believe.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wanted something light and not demanding while working around the house and yard over the weekend and this fit the bill. History of the show and in-depth summaries and reviews of several important episodes. It was perfectly pleasant and a nice reminder of the warm fuzzies I got from watching the show a couple of years ago.

Suet624 Such a great show 2d
monalyisha I‘d been watching with my husband for a while and quietly drooling over Brett Goldstein when my husband piped up, out of nowhere, “Roy Kent is so weird looking.” 😅 Agree to disagree, hubs. 😂🔥🌶️ 2d

AmyG @monalyisha Have you seen Shrinking? Brett is wonderful in that. No, Roy isn‘t remotely weird looking. 😉 (edited) 2d
fredthemoose @monalyisha 😂 💯 Absolutely agree to disagree… Roy Kent is a babe. 🔥 2d
monalyisha @AmyG We‘re not caught up but that‘s a great show, too! 2d

Ringing in the new year with a book on one of the most positive and loving TV shows I‘ve ever had the pleasure to watch. (I literally heard someone once say that watching Ted Lasso was like getting a B12 shot and a hug with Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross. It‘s 100% accurate😂😍)

I‘m sending all the positive and loving vibes to all my fellow Littens in 2025!❤️❤️❤️

JamieArc Have you watched Shrinking? It‘s by the same creators and I think I love it just as much as Ted Lasso. 7mo
Leelee08 @JamieArc I haven‘t yet, but I want to get to it soon😍 7mo
JackOBotts @JamieArc ~ we‘ve been binging Shrinking this past week and just love it. Just a delight…I also must recommend, @Leelee08 ~ enjoy! 7mo

The story behind the making of the show is just as heartwarming as all 3 seasons.

Was really wanting to enjoy this, but using interviews to create a story just makes it clunky and hard to read.

I was a latecomer to watching Ted Lasso, but when I finally did I binged the whole series.

What a treat it was to receive this ARC &gain more insight as well as a heavy dose of nostalgia. I loved learning about why certain decisions were made &seeing how intentional every storyline &personality trait was.

I highly recommend this for any fan of the series. & if you haven‘t watched it yet, go watch &then grab this book as a companion to the show.
