Warning: This post contains spoilers for Ted Lasso season 2, episode 10
The latest episode of Ted Lasso season 2 featured some very emotional moments, and Zachary Levi has admitted to crying while watching it. Season 1 of the sports comedy-drama found surprising success last year, resulting in a slew of Emmy wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for star Jason Sudeikis. The cast also includes Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Brendan Hunt, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple, Nick Mohammed, and Sarah Niles.
Ted Lasso follows its eponymous college football coach after he is suddenly hired to coach an English soccer team, AFC Richmond, despite having no experience or knowledge of the sport. Season 2 launched in July and, according to many fans, its most recent episode, “No Weddings and a Funeral,” might be one of its best, as the episode cleverly balances comedy and serious drama. In previous episodes, Ted revealed his father took his own life when Ted was a teenager. In episode 10, Ted suffers a panic attack while preparing for the funeral of Rebecca’s father, leading to a home visit from his psychologist, Sharon. Ultimately, Ted opens up about how he never attended his father’s funeral due to the anger he felt towards him for "[quitting] on his family," a monologue that is intercut with another from Rebecca about her father's habitable cheating.
Since episode 10 aired, many fans have taken to social media sharing their feelings about the latest installment of Ted Lasso, including Shazam! Fury of the Gods star, Zachary Levi. The actor took to Instagram to post a picture of himself with tears in his eyes after watching the episode. Levi also gave his own review in the caption of his post, praising the show’s ability to make “you laugh out loud, then immediately break your heart.” Check out his post below:

Levi recently wrapped filming on Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Director David F. Sandberg’s DCEU film will feature the return of Asher Angel’s Billy Batson and Levi’s super-powered alter ego. The film will see Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer), Eugene (Ian Chen), Pedro (Jovan Armand), Darla (Faithe Herman), and Mary (Grace Fulton) all reprise their roles with Adam Brody, D.J. Cotrona, Ross Butler, and Meagan Good also returning as the adult versions of these characters. It will also see Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu will play Hespera and Kalypso, the daughters of Atlas, and West Side Story’s Rachel Zegler in an unknown role.
While plot details for Shazam! Fury of the Gods are being kept under wraps, the sequel, like the original, is sure to bring the laughter and the “feels” — something that may also be said for Ted Lasso. All superhero stories adhere to the hero’s journey, where a central character is put in a seemingly impossible situation, and through it becomes transformed. Ted may not have been chosen by an ancient wizard to inherit the powers of the gods and form a Shazam family but, as Richmond’s coach, he is still overcoming past trauma and forming his own family. And given this strong narrative connection between their titular characters, perhaps it's not so surprising that Levi felt such a strong affinity with the latest episode of Ted Lasso, after all.
