West Ham will feature in season 3 of the Apple TV hit TV series Ted Lasso.
The season 2 finale showed former kit man of fictional AFC Richmond becoming manager of West Ham after the Hammers were taken over by show baddy Rupert Mannion.
The London Stadium was featured at the end of season 2 during a West Ham training session with Nathan “Nate” Shelley overseeing it.
The Hammers sponsor Betway were heavily featured in the segment leading to speculation they had paid to be included in the show.
Apple TV have commissioned a third season of Ted Lasso which is rumoured to see West Ham as AFC Richmond’s arch rivals and the team everyone loves to hate in the TV show.
West Ham are understood to have received a financial agreements for their part in the show with the club believing it will help grow their brand worldwide.
As the old saying goes ‘any publicity is good publicity’
Haven’t got Apple TV, don’t look like I’m missing much!
lol
It is actually a rather a good show. I can also confirm that as per Sean West Ham are being paid for their involvement. A family member who works in the club accounts department has seen the paperwork.
