    ‘Ted Lasso’ Star Joins ‘Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning’ Sequel

    Tom Cruise has continued to put on a show to highlight just how far he’ll go to create a cinematic action spectacle. While impressive, he’s not the only one that makes the films he stars in what they are and it seems that the second part of Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning has just added another member to its cast.

    Ted Lasso star and Emmy-winner Hannah Waddingham has been added to the project to star opposite Tom Cruise. The first part titled Dead Reckoning Part One is set to release in July with the sequel following next year in June. For now, who she is playing and what we can expect from the story is still being kept under wraps.

    Waddingham has made a name for herself playing the character of Rebbeca in Ted Lasso. She’s been slowly gathering new projects as the Apple TV+ series is coming to an end and Mission Impossible is definitely a big franchise someone wants to get involved with. Plus, she also joined the upcoming Fall Guy film starring Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling. So, it seems she’s already gotten quite a few good projects to add to her filmography.

    ‘Ted Lasso’ Writer Teases Apple TV+ Show May End With Season 3

    Ted Lasso is seen as a cultural phenomenon, as it brings a lot of positivity with each new episode. It seemed like a franchise that would keep going forever, but according to one of its writers and stars, Brett Goldstein, the series is currently being written as its last in an interview with Sunday Times.

    We are writing it like that. It was planned as three. Spoiler alert — everyone dies.

    Yet, as Variety points out, the co-created Jason Sudeikis has confirmed it was originally mapped out with three seasons but was open to continuing. All it would depend on if they have a few ideas to keep it going. He developed the series together with Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly which was actually inspired by a character he played on NBC Sports. Sudekis” quote was as follows:

    The story that I know is the one that I wanted to tell, and so that’s the one we’re telling with the help of numerous people in front of and behind the camera, so it’s by no means me typing every key stroke and saying every word,” he said. “It’s nowhere near like that. But the story that’s being told – that three-season arc – is one that I see, know, and understood. I’m glad that they are willing to pay for those three seasons. As far as what happens after that, who knows? I don’t know.

    Apple TV+ has quite the success on its hands and they even got the Premier League licensing for the upcoming season. So, it would be strange to go through that deal to only end the series right afterward. It lets them use archival footage and its many logos in the series, which may have had multiple years planned but we’ll find out once they start promoting the third season.
