Ted Lasso actor and writer Brett Goldstein has given fans an update on season three – revealing the original story arc will be complete.

He said they initially had a three-season arc planned and now they are ending that, but he has no idea if there will be any more Ted Lasso after that.

Opening up to Mr Porter, it was revealed that the writers are back in the writers' room right now crafting the (possibly) last season of the Apple TV+ series.

"We had a three-season arc planned. We are writing the end of that story," he said. "Whether there'll be more after that, we'll see, I genuinely don't know. But I do know that the story that we were telling over three years will be complete."

Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent, AFC Richmond's irritable captain-turned-coach, was challenged to get into character to say goodbye to readers, and he signed off the interview brilliantly.

"Make the most of every moment you have," he grunted. "And then f**k off."

However, he couldn't stay in character for too long, admitting "honestly, I've loved this".

"You've made me think a lot. Maybe it's too early, but I feel emotional, so thank you very much. I appreciate you."

Recently, Goldstein was at the centre of a conspiracy surrounding his character, which claimed that Roy is actually a CGI creation. Yes, really.

Sharing a video on his Instagram, he addressed the "f**king load of mad shit" cropping up online.

"I just want to clear up something once and for all," a Memoji 'Brett' told his followers.

"I am a completely real, normal human man, who just happens to live in a VFX house and does normal human, basic things, like rendering and buffering and transferring data. I don't know why everyone's prodding me."

Ted Lasso is available to stream on Apple TV+.
