Ted Lasso is coming back, and that’s thrilling. However, it’s also a bit confusing considering Season 3’s finale felt pretty...final. To that point, Brett Goldstein was asked about returning to the beloved Apple TV+ series,

“He loved his cat and the cat was run over and they buried the cat, buried it, and he was his child,” Goldstein said on a recent episode of NPR’s “Wildcard” podcast. “He lay in bed so sad, so, so upset and crying and he prayed and he prayed and he wished, ‘I wish the cat would come back.’”

The actor, who plays Roy Kent on the Emmy-winning series and is also a writer and executive producer on the series, told an anecdote about a friend's dead cat on a recent episode of NPR's "Wild Card" podcast that was a perfect analogy to "Ted Lasso's" return.
