Ted Lasso spoilers follow.

Ted Lasso star and writer Brett Goldstein has appeared to confirm the fate of the show.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, the Roy Kent actor weighed in on writing the upcoming third instalment of the Apple TV+ series. As it has been previously reported, it looks like the writing team is working with a three-season arc in mind.

"We are writing it like that," Goldstein said.

"It was planned as three. Spoiler alert: everyone dies," he then joked.

Digital Spy has reached out to Apple TV+ for confirmation that the show will end after three seasons.

The series stars Jason Sudeikis in the titular role – an impossibly nice American football manager who turns to, well, regular football (or soccer, if you're across the pond).

Sticking to the original three-season plan now seems a real possibility, though its leading man and co-creator had left the door open for more Ted Lasso last year.

"The story that's being told – that three-season arc – is one that I see, know, and understood," Sudeikis said.

"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."

Alongside Sudeikis and Goldstein, the third season will see returning stars Hannah Waddingham and Juno Temple as team owner Rebecca Welton and PR Keeley Jones.

Brendan Hunt's Coach Beard, and Jeremy Swift's Higgins will also come back, while Nick Mohammed's Nathan Shelley might be up for a redemption arc after joining West Ham at the end of season two.

Ted Lasso seasons 1-2 are streaming now on Apple TV+. Season 3 is currently in production and doesn't have a release date yet.
