Ted Lasso: Five Apple TV Shows to Watch Next After AFC Richmond Ted Lasso fans can find similar comedy-dramas on Apple TV, including Loot, Shrinking and Margo's Got Money Troubles, each with strong characters and critical acclaim. As Ted Lasso remains a flagship comedy for Apple TV, viewers who finish the series may look for similar shows. The uplifting series follows Jason Sudeikis as the titular character, an American coach who moves to England to lead a professional football team. When he applies for the job, he mistakenly believes it is an American football team, leading to a significant learning curve as he learns a new sport and navigates a divorce. With four seasons under its belt, Ted Lasso is a fantastic watch, but it is difficult to decide what to start next. It builds strong characters and creates an emotional investment that is not replicated in most shows. It is a unique cocktail that you cannot help but want more of. Thankfully, you do not have to look far, as Apple TV has several other projects that fit the bill. Loot: A Post-Divorce ComedyLoot follows Molly Wells, played by Maya Rudolph, a woman who, thanks to her divorce from a tech billionaire, now has quite a bit of money to her name. With her newfound time, she decides to become more involved with a charity after spending a huge chunk of her fortune. However, it is not just any charity; it is one she technically founded years ago and promptly forgot about. It should be a way for her to find herself as a single person, but those working for the foundation are less than enthused that she is there.This is the show for everyone who loves Hannah Waddingham's Rebecca. Both feature women working on a new venture post-divorce, and while Rebecca's is rooted in trying to bring down the football club, Molly just wants to figure out what is next. Waddingham and Rudolph are comedic geniuses, and while their characters' plights are different, they are both rooted in women building new lives for themselves after contentious divorces. If that is not enough to convince you, Loot has an 82% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes across three seasons, and an Emmy nomination for Rudolph's performance. It may not be the most well-known comedy on Apple TV, but it is a must watch after Ted Lasso.Margo's Got Money Troubles and Single MotherhoodWhat happens when a single mother turns to OnlyFans to help support herself? That is the premise of Margo's Got Money Troubles. The series, a community college dropout now carrying her professor's child. She reconnects with her estranged father James, played by Nick Offerman, who helps care for the baby, and tries to handle what life throws at her, including a custody battle with the professor.At first glance, this may not seem like a show to see after Ted Lasso. However, there is something reminiscent of Ted's advice to the team in Margo's father. He is a former professional wrestler, and the wisdom he shares with his daughter about life and business is always based in wrestling. It feels like how Ted will use his knowledge of American football to help the team or inform his strategy. And, like Ted Lasso, it is able to keep a comedic tone while still including serious storylines. With just one season so far, Margo's Got Money Troubles boasts a 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Apple TV project also received an Outstanding Comedy Series nomination at the 2026 Emmys along with acting nominations for Fanning and Offerman.Shrinking: A Workplace Comedy-DramaJason Segel is Jimmy Laird, a therapist, in Shrinking. The series follows him coming to terms with his wife's death while trying to support his patients. However, he may do things that skirt ethical boundaries, upsetting his colleague Dr. Paul Rhoades, played by Harrison Ford. His relationship with his daughter Alice, played by Lukita Maxwell, is strained through it all, and the two try to reconnect and find their new normal.Both Jimmy and Ted are trying to cope with the end of their marriages.

Jimmy's loss is harder, but both men are losing the woman they love and are unsure how to handle that. They have a support group around them in their colleagues, but still have moments where they lash out, in addition to fractured relationships with their children. Shrinking resonates with critics, with a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. With 18 Emmy nominations, including acting nominations for Segel for all three seasons, the Apple TV series is the perfect watch after Ted Lasso for a top tier workplace comedy-drama with strong male characters. It also does not hurt that the two shows share a creative.Stick: A Sports Comedy with Owen WilsonStick features Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a professional golfer now selling clubs at the end of his career. He stumbles upon a talented young player, Santi Wheeler, played by Peter Dager, who has no support, and decides to take him under his wing, becoming his coach and helping him start the tournament circuit. This sports comedy fits well with the themes of mentorship and personal growth seen in Ted Lasso, offering a similar blend of humor and heart.
