The series was commissioned in October 2019 by Apple TV+, with Jason Sudeikis reprising his role as Lasso. Sudeikis originally debuted the titular character in 2013 as part of commercials for NBC Sports promoting their coverage of the Premier League, in which Lasso is depicted as the new head coach of Tottenham Hotspur F.C.[4] Producer Bill Lawrence was brought in to work on a television series based around the character in 2017.[5]
