In the latest installment of the hit comedy Apple TV+. Ted LassoAFC Richmond have entered talks to land football superstar Zawa (Maximilian Osinsky) in an attempt to cheer up the football club and fool Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) ex-husband of Rupert Manion (Anthony Head) West Ham team in progress. By appealing to his ego, she managed to taunt him, causing him to reject not only West Ham but Chelsea to join the much smaller greyhounds in the upcoming season. Now, a new Season 3 poster, courtesy of AFC Richmond’s official Twitter account, has announced the signing of Zawa to the roster.
The poster is styled exactly like any typical sports signing commercial. Zawa looks set to win, with his arms crossed and looking to a bright future for AFC Richmond where he will lead it. Now he wears his brand new uniform and looks like a beacon of hope for fans who are looking for another reason to believe in this team as they play big dogs in Season 3.
Given the special key image and his new role in AFC Richmond, it’s clear that Zawa will play a major role throughout the rest of Season 3. Like the legendary Zlatan Ibrahamovic on which he is based, Zawa is introduced in the episode “(I Don’t Want to Go to) Chelsea” as a showman with a personality that some consider arrogant, but with the skills of a striker to score goals in opposing teams. Adding such a dynamic superstar would be huge for TedJason Sudeikis), Rebecca and the rest of the squad chasing their dreams of a Premier League title, but it will also be interesting to see how his flamboyant personality clashes with that of the tight-knit group at Stamford Bridge. This is not to mention the financial cost, which is sure to be mind blowing to have such talent around.
Zawa joins beloved AFC Richmond staff for their (maybe) last trip
Zawa will now lead AFC Richmond on the field in what is expected to be their final season on Apple TV+. Season 3 looks like it will bring a satisfying end to the magic that the breakout comedy series has been giving fans throughout its existence. While the second season was mostly about Ted’s struggle with anxiety, this latest series of episodes brings the team closer than ever as they face the pressure of a clear Premier League underdog. Zava will help them with their other goal - to keep West Ham United, which is their clear number one rival with Manion at the helm and Nate (Nick Mohammed) becomes a complete villain in his defection to coach the team.
Osinski is one of the newest additions to the cast of the Emmy Award-winning comedy, joining other returning actors such as Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Brendan Hunt, Phil Dunster, Tohib Jimo, Jeremy Swift, Cola Bokinni, Billy Harris, James LanceAnd Cristo Fernandez. So far, their potential together last season performed well with critics and audiences alike, with a Certified Fresh rating of 92% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Carly Lane of Collider also gave the season an A in her review, calling it “a small screen equivalent to a hot cup of tea and a big soft blanket.”
