Nominated for 20 Primetime Emmy Awards, the sitcom centers around the relationship between the recently divorced team owner and Lasso. In an attempt to humiliate her ex-husband, Welton hires the American coach, eventually finding joy and inspiration from her decision.
Waddingham was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2021 and won the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actress for Ted Lasso.
