Ted Lasso

The hit Apple TV+ series "Ted Lasso" is filming its fourth season around Kansas City this week. Locations include on the Country Club Plaza and in Blue Springs, where residents of the neighborhood were allowed to watch some of the filming — and meet Jason Sudeikis.

Cast and crew members of the Apple TV+ show were spotted earlier this week at locations including Gates BBQ in Midtown and Kansas City’s iconic Country Club Plaza.

Sales of Brendan Curran's "Ted Lasso"-themed T-shirt soared when Jason Sudeikis, Curran's Shawnee Mission West basketball teammate, wore them on the Emmy award-wining series. He also wore them off the set while promoting the show. Curran expects sales to keep growing with the expansion into "Ted Lasso" merchandise.

Lee's Summit North teacher and basketball coach Donnie Campbell learned in the school hallway that he was the inspiration for the Jason Sudeikis character.
