The Season 2 Ted Lasso trailer presents a new problem for feel-good AFC Richmond

Ted Lasso concluded its universally successful first season with Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond still finding hope in their relegation, but the official trailer for season two shows that climbing the ranks of English football will be a little tougher than anyone expected.

Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) is asked by the press about the club's "embarrassing streak of draws," and immediately, we're reassured that Ted can still quip with the best of them: "I've never been embarrassed about having streaks in my draws. You know, it's all part of growing up."

Boos cascade down on AFC Richmond as the disappointing results continue, and Ted's mean alter ego is brought out: Led Tasso. He flips the water table and demands his players touch their toes—"then touch each other's toes!"—before Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt) snaps him out of his hypnosis.

Elsewhere, Ted and Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) continue to strengthen their bond. But they are nowhere near Keeley (Juno Temple) and Roy (Brett Goldstein), whose romance is teased to have gotten more series with a steamy holiday kiss.

All the dots will be connected when Season 2 hits Apple TV Plus on July 23.
