Tracey Ullman Joins Ted Lasso Season 4 as Eccentric Businesswoman Zelda Southport
Ted Lasso’s world is already bursting with oddballs. We have a kit man who is actually psychic. We have a team owner who sings karaoke in her office. Zelda Southport fits right into this glorious mess.
Her name sounds like a sailor’s curse and a luxury yacht combined. Can’t you just picture her? She probably wears hats with nets on them. And she likely speaks in riddles about “corporate synergy.”
This show loves to take a quirky character and give them a massive heart. Remember Rebecca’s arc from steamroller to softie? Ullman’s Zelda could be the same. First, she’ll be annoying. Then, we’ll all cry when she hugs a puppy.
What Could Zelda Do To AFC Richmond?
Let’s speculate wildly—it’s more fun that way. Maybe Zelda is a rival club owner. She could try to buy Jamie Tartt and make him model gluten-free biscuits.
Or perhaps she’s a tech billionaire. She might insist the team plays in virtual reality headsets. “Get ready for the metaverse, lads,” she’d cackle. Ted would just smile and offer her a biscuit.
Ted Lasso Season Four Date Announced And Trailer Released
My favorite theory? Zelda is a retired villain from a 1980s pop video. She enters every meeting through a trapdoor. Nobody questions it. That’s the Richmond way.
