‘Ted Lasso’ nominated for ‘Best TV Series’ in ‘AARP Movies for Grownups’ Awards : Apple World Today

The Apple TV+ series, “Ted Lasso,” continues to rack up awards nominations. The latest is for “Best TV Series” in the “AARP Movies for Grownups” awards. 

The Movies for Grownups awards “champion films made by and for grownups, by advocating for the 50-plus audience, fighting industry ageism and encouraging films that resonate with older viewers.” AARP [American Association of Retired Persons] is a U.S.–based interest group focusing on issues affecting those over the age of 50.

In “Ted Lasso,” Jason Sudeikis plays Ted Lasso, a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer. In addition to starring, Sudeikis serves as executive producer, alongside Bill Lawrence (“Scrubs”) via his Doozer Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal Content. Doozer’s Jeff Ingold also serves as an executive producer with Liza Katzer as co-executive producer. The series was developed by Sudeikis, Lawrence, Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, and is based on the pre-existing format and characters from NBC Sports.
