Are Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein the TV producer tandem to beat in the industry right now?  After the success of “Ted Lasso,” it’s hard to argue with that assessment. And while that show may get revived for a Season 4, don’t forget about the duo’s other Apple TV+ series “Shrinking,” which has its second season premiere on the streamer next month.

“All Of You” is a slim, modest, 100-minute love story starring Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots. But in its decade-spanning structure and proclamations of “one true love” and “true soul mate,” it very much wants to be “Doctor Zhivago” or another such sweeping romance. Only it obviously isn’t and leaves you with a feeling of much ado about nothing. William Bridges makes his feature directorial debut from a script he co-wrote with Goldstein, based on the short “For Life” they had made years earlier.

Rumors abound that the third season of Apple TV+’s massive comedy hit “Ted Lasso” will be the last. Given the show won the Emmy for Best Comedy Series in its first two outings, the creators of this game-changing hit could go a perfect 3-for-3, getting out before the show dips in quality or popularity. This might be easier said than done. “Abbott Elementary” has only grown in esteem, and there may be a push to give “Barry” the prize for its final season, premiering on HBO next month.

We’ve said it a million times by now, but no one ever expected the biggest Apple TV+ hit to come from the streamer’s first few years would be a feel-good comedy based on a series of NBC commercials starring a former ‘SNL’ star. And yet, here we are with “Ted Lasso,” a highly acclaimed show that has won a ton of awards and is set to debut its third (and possibly final) season.

As Timothée Chalamet recently attested, it’s been a boom time for Apple TV+. In the two years since the height of the pandemic, the streaming service has more than doubled its subscriber count and built a library of content rivaling competitors like Netflix and HBO Max. But although it may be hard to remember, there was a time when Apple TV+ was the scrappy upstart in an unlikely new arena…kind of like the titular protagonist of its first breakout hit series “Ted Lasso.”

In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our TV and streaming podcast host Mike DeAngelo cries tears of joy for Apple TV+’s new dramedy, “Shrinking.” Created by Bill Lawrence (“Scrubs,” “Ted Lasso”), Brett Goldstein (“Ted Lasso,” “Thor: Love and Thunder”), and Jason Segel (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “How I Met Your Mother”), the show follows Jimmy (Segel), a therapist who has gone off the deep end after the death of his wife.

One can only imagine the blank check that Bill Lawrence has from Apple TV+ after the massive success of his “Ted Lasso,” which he co-created and has won the company dozens of awards, putting them on the TV map. He used that cachet for this week’s likable dramedy “Shrinking,” a show that almost brazenly sets up character archetypes and then asks its cast to push through the clichés of their shallow descriptions.

In the span of three years, Brett Goldstein’s life has completely changed. The British actor, comedian, podcast host, and writer saw himself inexplicably join the ensemble of what turned out to be Apple TV+’s first breakout show, “Ted Lasso.” That role saw him win the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy for his performance as the aging football player Roy Kent in the show’s first season. Now he’s nominated in the same category for the second year in a row.

Returning to the beloved character from her early ‘00s sketch comedy show “The Catherine Tate Show” — and the spinoff series “Catherine Tate’s Nan” — the simply titled “The Nan Movie” continues the hijinks of the elderly Joanie Taylor (aka Nan). A loudmouth cockney woman who always speaks her mind, often to the embarrassment of her grandson Jamie (Matthew Horne), Tate’s feature film is a curious object.

Typically, when it comes to American TV, if a series is really popular, then a network will keep renewing it and renewing it, eventually leading to a drop in quality and fans being upset. Well, it doesn’t appear that’s going to be the case with “Ted Lasso.”

How does a show as big as “Ted Lasso” avoid a sophomore slump? The success of the first season of the Apple TV+ hit felt incredibly tied to the pandemic as the Jason Sudeikis vehicle gave people in need of a pleasant escape the kind of diversion that the real world denied them. Viewers fell hard for the undeniably likable title character and the ensemble of memorable characters around him, but the producers have to be wondering if those same fans will return to the pitch now that the world has started to regain its normalcy.

It’s almost hard to imagine Jason Sudeikis starring in “Ted Lasso” next to any other ensemble of actors. From Hannah Waddingham‘s brilliant portrayal of the fictional AFC Richmond football club owner Rebecca Welton to Juno Temple‘s scene-stealing Keely Jones or Nick Mohammad as the smarter than he looks kit man (that’s an equipment manager for us Yanks), the Apple TV+ series is something of a casting marvel.
