Mae from Ted Lasso (Mae Green, the pub landlady played by Annette Badland) is trending because of an emotional storyline twist in Season 4, Episode 9 (“Mae Rides the Bus”).
In the episode, Mae travels with the AFC Richmond women’s team to their critical away match, delivers an inspiring pre-match locker room speech, and celebrates their promotion-clinching comeback in the stands before collapsing. The episode ends with Rebecca tearfully delivering the news of her passing to Ted.
Following the broadcast, actress Annette Badland confirmed in interviews that Mae has officially passed away, prompting an outpouring of emotional reactions, tributes, and discussions across social media and entertainment outlets.
