Summary
51-year-old Hannah Waddingham said Ted Lasso is returning for a fourth season centered on a women’s football team, adding she had feared she might never play Rebecca Welton again after a three-year gap.
Ride or Die is her next major project: Waddingham stars opposite Octavia Spencer as an undercover assassin and said she performed 75%-80% of her own stunts while filming in Prague for five months.
Waddingham framed both projects as part of a late-blooming Hollywood rise that followed her 2021 Emmy win for Ted Lasso after roughly 25 years of stage and screen work.
She also pushed back on being reduced to a camp persona or viral callout moments, saying she wants attention on her work, her theatre roots and the example she sets for younger women.
