In the season four finale of the Apple TV series "Ted Lasso," titled "The Departing Lass," the show replaced its usual theme song—originally performed by Marcus Mumford—with a new rendition by singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile.
Reaction to the musical switch was notably emotional among the production team. Brendan Hunt, a star of the series, described his reaction to hearing Carlile's version by stating he "just bawled, absolutely bawled."
The sudden change in the series finale has also prompted questions among viewers and critics regarding the reasoning behind the swap and whether Carlile's version represents a permanent change to the show's opening theme.
