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. TV-MA | 30min

Tom Howe has brought his skill set as a tunesmith and jack-of-all-instruments to a wide range of popular films—from the elegantly neoclassical music for Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, to an epic score of caveman grunts and vuvuzelas for the Aardman stop-motion film Early Man, which earned him an Annie nomination alongside co-composer Harry Gregson-Williams. Howe has collaborated with Gregson-Williams and his brother, Rupert Gregson-Williams, on several genre-spanning spectacles—including Wonder Woman, Exodus: Gods and Kings, The Do-Over, and The Legend of Tarzan. Howe is also prolific on the “small screen,” scoring such disparate series as the cultural phenomenon, The Great British Baking Show, the globetrotting espionage show Whiskey Cavalier on ABC (with Harry Gregson-Williams), and The Last Czars for Netflix. Howe’s recent work includes Aardman Animation’s adventure comedy Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon, season two of the Netflix death row documentary series I Am A Killer, the Disney Channel Original film Upside Down Magic, the HBO Max original series A World Of Calm, and the hit Jason Sudeikis Apple series Ted Lasso with Marcus Mumford.

Growing up in London, Howe got a full classical education in an array of instruments, including piano and voice, before he fell in love with rock ’n roll. He played guitar and sang in bands, and found work as a touring and session musician—playing with the likes of the Bee Gees and the London Symphony Orchestra.

Marcus Mumford is an English lead singer of the Mercury Prize- and Grammy-nominated band, Mumford & Sons. He also plays the guitar, drums, and mandolin with the band.

Mumford was born in Anaheim, California. His family moved back to England when he was very young, and he attended King’s College School (Wimbledon) where he met fellow band member Ben Lovett. He went on to study classics at the University of Edinburgh. It was in Edinburgh that he penned most of Mumford & Sons’ debut album, “Sigh No More”, but he began his musical career playing drums for Laura Marling, along with the other current members of Mumford & Sons. It was through touring with Laura that they decided to form their own band in 2007.
