Watch On
Genre: Sports comedyAvailable now: 1 episode (42 min)What it’s about: Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) is back in Richmond, but he’s trading the men’s squad for the Lady Greyhounds, a scrappy second-division women’s team. Alongside familiar faces Rebecca, Keeley and Beard, Ted takes on a new challenge while the team confronts the very real inequities facing women’s soccer.Why it’s worth your time: "Ted Lasso" didn’t exactly need another season, but this is a surprisingly smart way to bring it back. The women’s team gives the show fresh territory to explore, while Ted’s relentlessly optimistic worldview remains as comforting as ever. We believe again!Where to stream: Apple TV2. ‘House of the Dragon’ season 3 finale (HBO)
