More than 18 months after the final season 2 episode of its flagship series dropped on Apple TV Plus, Apple announced that the third -- and perhaps last -- season of Ted Lasso will debut on March 15.

Apple also released a teaser trailer for Ted Lasso: Season 3 -- which tells you little or nothing about the upcoming 12-episode campaign. (See it below.)

In terms of brand recognition and prestige, Ted Lasso has been the most successful show yet for the 3-year-old Apple TV Plus platform, winning 11 Primetime Emmys. 

Last June, Brett Goldstein, who stars as grumpy retired footballer Roy Kent on Ted Lasso and also works in the writers' room, told The Sunday Times that season 3 was being written as the series' finale. 

Apple hasn't formally announced this, however. 

Here is Apple's official summary of season 3:

The newly-promoted AFC Richmond faces ridicule as media predictions widely peg them as last in the Premier League and Nate (Nick Mohammed), now hailed as the “wonder kid,” has gone to work for Rupert (Anthony Head) at West Ham United. In the wake of Nate’s contentious departure from Richmond, Roy Kent (Goldstein) steps up as assistant coach, alongside Beard (Brendan Hunt).

Meanwhile, while Ted (Jason Sudeikis) deals with pressures at work, he continues to wrestle with his own personal issues back home, Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is focused on defeating Rupert and Keeley (Juno Temple) navigates being the boss of her own PR agency. Things seem to be falling apart both on and off the pitch, but Team Lasso is set to give it their best shot anyway.
