  abstract: The definitive book on the television show Ted Lasso, written by New York Times journalist and editor Jeremy Egner, celebrating the show's 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, nobody, including those who had worked on it, knew 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, it's safe to say that the show's 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 show's writer's 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 Lasso's story of teamwork, of hidden talent, of a group of friends looking around at the world's increasingly nasty discourse and deciding that maybe simple decency still had the power to bring us together, a story about what happens when you dare to believe.
