Hailing from Kansas, Ted Lasso is a soccer coach who was hired by Rebecca Welton to train the struggling English Premier League team, AFC Richmond. Instead of forcing the team to follow traditional football strategies, Lasso focused on mental health and teamwork. He believed that everything is possible if you let go of your traumatic past. Welton brought in Lasson to fulfill her selfish desires, but as the story progressed, the coach’s positive attitude began to shape the club’s culture. In Season 3, he resigned from his position to return to his son in Kansas. However, according to the official synopsis, Ted will come back in Season 4, but this time he has to manage the newly formed AFC Richmond’s women’s team.
Jason Sudeikis is an award-winning actor and comedian who has worked in several projects, including It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Last Man on Earth, The Angry Birds Movie, and more. However, Ted Lasso gave him his breakout role, and he ended up bagging four Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes.

Rebecca Wilton is the sharp-witted and glamorous owner of AFC Richmond, the soccer team she inherited after her separation from her husband, Rupert Mannion. Initially, she wanted to sabotage the team, which is why she hired Ted Lasso to manage it. However, she had a change of heart, witnessing Lasso’s warmth and positive demeanor. Besides Lasso, every member of AFC Richmond played a significant role in bringing out her softer and vulnerable side, leaving behind the icy exterior.
Hannah Waddingham, one of the leading Ted Lasso cast members, is again an award-winning actress who has blessed the industry with a plethora of amazing projects, including The Fall Guy and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning . The role of Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso earned her a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
3. Juno Temple as Keeley Jones

Keeley Jones is one of the regular characters of Ted Lasso. She initially appeared as a confident former model and influencer, who later transitioned into a PR consultant and ultimately opened her own firm. She was previously involved in romantic relationships with Jamie Tartt and Roy Kent. She has always been a woman with an entrepreneurial spirit, so it’s no wonder she paved her own way in the PR business.
Juno Temple is a 36-year-old actress who has worked in some of the most celebrated projects, including The Dark Knight Rises and Venom: The Last Dance.
4. Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent

Roy Kent is said to be one of the best players of AFC Richmond, so no doubt, after Ted decided to part ways with the team, he was promoted as the new manager of the soccer team. He has always been passionate about the game, and his aggressive playing technique sheds light on the same. Initially, he was a loner, but after meeting Ted, he transformed into an open leader. Now, it would be intriguing to see if he could follow in Lasso’s footsteps and support his team.
Some of the films and television series he has appeared in include Thor: Love and Thunder, SuperBob, and Doctor Who. He received a Primetime Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for Ted Lasso.
5. Brendan Hunt as Coach Beard

Coach Beard followed Ted from his hometown to coach the struggling soccer team despite having limited knowledge about the sport. His witty lines and his being the right-hand man for our protagonist make him one of the significant Ted Lasso cast members. Moreover, Chess Beard’s mysterious personal life, particularly his complex relationship with Jane, is intricately tied to the emotional core of his story arc.
Besides playing a role in Ted Lasso, Brendan Hunt also serves as the co-writer of the series. He is well known for his roles in Horrible Bosses 2, Bless This Mess, and Dog with a Blog.
6. Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins

Leslie Higgins was introduced to us as the timid Director of Communications of AFC Richmond. However, over time, he evolves into one of the most confident characters in the series, ultimately becoming an emotional anchor for the club members.
Jeremy Swift is a British actor who is popularly known for Wanderlust, The Royal Bodyguard, and more.
That’s all for the regular cast that will make a comeback in Ted Lasso Season 4. Now, here we have also mentioned the new cast members joining Ted Lasso Season 4. However, we don’t have any information regarding their roles in the television series for the time being.

Squid Game was the first survival TV show to become hugely popular in 2021. It quickly surpassed even the most popular shows on Netflix and became the most-watched series on the platform. Now that the saga has ended on a tear-jerking note, I’m pretty sure there are fans who would want to know what other shows have the audacity to give the same feel. Well, here, I’ve listed five of the best TV Shows like Squid Game that can fill the void.
1. Alice in Borderland

- Release Date: December 10, 2020
- Director: Shinsuke Sato
- Cast: Kento Yamazaki, Tao Tsuchiya, Nijirō Murakami, Ayaka Miyoshi, Aya Asahina, Dori Sakurada, Sho Aoyagi, Riisa Naka, Yuri Tsunematsu, Hayato Isomura
Alice in Borderland is one of the must-watch shows for everyone who liked Squid Game. Despite boasting a different narrative style and themes, this survival thriller drama series shares way more similarities with Squid Game than any other show in existence.
Like Squid Game, Alice in Borderland also forces its characters to participate in deadly games. However, the only difference here is that the one to survive in the Squid Game will go home with the huge cash prize that will give them financial freedom, while in Alice in Borderland, the characters get to extend their visas by winning the game. Squid Game makes players play some childhood games with deadly twists, and Alice in Borderland makes its characters go through some of the most complex games that test their intellect, physical strength, decision-making, and more.
Alice in Borderland Season 1 was released before the pilot season of Squid Game, but it didn’t receive the initial traction it deserved due to a lack of marketing. However, the success of Squid Game popularized the genre, and AIB got the attention it deserved. It has blessed us with two seasons so far, and the third season is set to be released on September 25, 2025.
2. The 8 Show

- Release Date: May 17, 2024
- Director: Han Jae-rim
- Cast: Ryu Jun-yeol, Chun Woo-hee, Park Jeong-min, Lee Yul-eum, Park Hae-joon, Lee Joo-young, Moon Jeong-hee, Bae Seong-woo
In Squid Game, we see 456 players forced to play the life-or-death games; on the other side, The 8 Show features only eight players who must do everything to win the game of survival. With each round, they are rewarded with more time to live. Both TV shows shed light on wealth disparity and human desperation. They particularly illustrate what extreme pressure does to an ordinary person.
The thriller series was released in 2024 and mostly garnered positive reviews. It also remained on Netflix’s Top 10 chart for three consecutive weeks.
3. Death’s Game

- Release Date: December 15, 2023
- Director: Ha Byung-hoon
- Cast: Seo In-guk, Park So-dam
Death’s Game and Squid Game are polar opposites, but again, it is a television series that comes from a South Korean production, and it also explores themes of societal pressure, survival, and morality. When the main protagonist Choi Yee-jae loses all hope and tries to commit suicide, Death itself stops him.
The invisible supernatural entity then punishes him by giving him 12 chances to live his life. If he fails to survive in even one of his lives, he will be sent to hell, and if he prevents his death, even if in his one lifetime, he can continue living his ordinary life.
4. All Of Us Are Dead

- Release Date: January 28, 2022
- Director: Lee Jae-kyoo and Kim Nam-soo
- Cast: Park Ji-hu, Yoon Chan-young, Cho Yi-hyun, Lomon
Regardless, All of Us Are Dead and Squid Game are both set in Korea, which allows international fans to become familiar with the country’s culture.
5. 3%

- Release Date: November 25, 2016
- Director: César Charlone, Daina Giannecchini, Dani Libardi, Jotagá Crema, Philippe Barcinski
- Cast: João Miguel, Bianca Comparato, Michel Gomes, Rodolfo Valente, Cynthia Senek, Vaneza Oliveira, Rafael Lozano, Viviane Porto
The first season of 3% was released in 2016, and it was the first Portuguese-language original television series on Netflix. Like Squid Game, this series also explored the themes of classism, wealth disparity, and survival.
3% takes place in a dystopian world that is divided into two parts: ‘Inland’ and ‘Offshore’. The former side includes the poor class, while the latter consists of the elite. So, the 20-year-olds of the Inshore are pushed to go through some tests that will decide their fate. Only 3% who pass the tests get to join the rich, while the ones who fail stay behind to spend their lives in poverty and face dire situations.
