Jason Sudeikis has confirmed that he earned $1 million per episode for Season 3 of Apple TV’s Ted Lasso, putting a reported figure on one of the platform’s biggest comedy hits. The disclosure gives fans a clearer picture of how valuable the series became as its popularity grew.
According to the report, there is also the possibility that Sudeikis could receive an even bigger payday if Ted Lasso returns for a fourth season. That detail is drawing attention because Season 3 had widely been viewed as the show’s likely ending.
Ted Lasso became a major success for Apple TV and helped turn Sudeikis’ title role into one of the most recognizable performances in streaming comedy. News of his salary underscores how much the series expanded from its early run into a flagship original for the service.
With talk of a potential Season 4 still hanging over the franchise, Sudeikis’ confirmed Season 3 paycheck is likely to fuel more discussion about the future of Ted Lasso. For now, the biggest takeaway is that the former SNL star says the million-dollar-per-episode figure for Season 3 was real, and a return could come with an even higher number.
