The definitive book on the TV show Ted Lasso, written by New York Times journalist and editor Jeremy Egner, celebrating the shows improbable rise and cultural impact while never losing sight of the heart, friendship, and passion that have made it an enduring favorite for the ages

When Ted Lasso first aired in 2020, nobodyincluding those who had worked on itknew how a show inspired by an ad, centered around soccer, filled mostly with unknown actors, and led by a wondrously mustached nice guy would be received.

Now, eleven Emmys and one Peabody Award later, its safe to say that the shows status as a pop culture phenomenon is secure. And, for the first time, New York Times television editor Jeremy Egner explores the creation, production, and potent legacy of Ted Lasso. Drawing on dozens of interviews from key cast, creators, and more, Believe takes readers from the very first, silly NBC Premier League commercial to the pitch to Apple executives, then into the shows writers room, through the brilliant international casting, and on to the unforgettable set and locations of the show itself.

Egner approaches his reporting as a journalist and as a cultural critic, but also with an affection and admiration fans will appreciate, carefully and humorously telling Ted Lassos story of teamwork, of hidden talent, of a group of friends looking around at the worlds increasingly nasty discourse and deciding that maybe simple decency still had the power to bring us togethera story about what happens when you dare to believe.
