Emmy-Nominated Casting Director Theo Park on Fielding the Perfect Squad for “Ted Lasso”
There isn’t an Oscars category for casting directors (yet), but the Emmys have recognized the foundational importance of the people who find actors with the talent and the chemistry to create magic on screen. Without casting directors, a lot of your favorite moments onscreen would likely never have happened. In an interview with The Credits, ...

Best of 2021: Emmy-Winner Hannah Waddingham on the Joy of Making “Ted Lasso”
This interview is part of our highly subjective, decidedly non-comprehensive “Best of 2021” year-end list. It was originally published on July 29. Before Ted Lasso became a phenomenon, setting a record for most Emmy nominations by a freshman comedy (20 total, including seven for its actors), its virtues were spread, among my friends, more like a ...
Emmys 2021: “The Crown,” “Ted Lasso” & More Win Big
All hail The Crown. Netflix’s royal drama was bestowed with seven awards last night during the 73rd Primetime Emmys, the most for any show, and Netflix itself tied the record for most Emmy wins with a haul of 44. The last time that happened? In 1974, when CBS took home 44 Emmys in a single year. Yet ...
The Emmy-Nominated “Ted Lasso” Editors on Cutting to the Funny
Apple’s Ted Lasso is one of the funniest series out right now. But it’s more than the laughs that will keep you watching. The writing is clever, the performances are refreshing, and there’s a depth to the characters that make you even cheer on the ones you hate. Well, maybe not Rupert, played devilishly well ...
“Ted Lasso” Casting Director Theo Park on Filling Out AFC Richmond’s Roster

Emmy-Nominee Hannah Waddingham on the Joy of Making “Ted Lasso”
Before Ted Lasso became a phenomenon, setting a record for most Emmy nominations by a freshman comedy (20 total, including seven for its actors), its virtues were spread, among my friends, more like a whisper campaign. One buddy in particular kept needling me via text. What finally broke me was the realization that here was my ...
“Ted Lasso” Season 2 Trailer Reveals AFC Richmond’s Quest For Glory
The Ted Lasso welcome wagon has arrived! That’s how the first few seconds of the season 2 trailer begin, and frankly, this is the kind of cheerful morning message that would be annoying from anybody else but Ted Lasso (especially on a Monday). Apple TV’s critically acclaimed series returns on July 23, giving us a jolt ...
Supervising Sound Editor on Capturing the Sound of “Ted Lasso” Remotely
Ted Lasso began life nearly a decade ago, in what must now seem like a more innocent time, as a character in a series of promos for NBC as they embarked on coverage of Britain’s Premier League. That character, created and portrayed by SNL alum Jason Sudeikis, is an American football coach, hot off a ...
