Which season 4 Ted Lasso actor previously played Lily Iglehart in Sex Education?

Tanya Reynolds previously played Lily Iglehart in Sex Education before joining Ted Lasso season 4.

Lily Iglehart is a student at Moordale Secondary School in Sex Education, where Reynolds was part of the principal ensemble for the first three seasons. In Ted Lasso, Reynolds takes on the role of Alice Chilton, a new assistant coach.

The connection is a useful way to distinguish Reynolds from the other newly announced Ted Lasso performers. Faye Marsay came from credits including Andor and Game of Thrones, while Grant Feely was associated with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Reynolds's best-known connection in this group is Sex Education.

The characters themselves are unrelated. Lily belongs to a school-based Netflix comedy-drama, while Alice belongs to Ted Lasso's football setting. Only the performer, Tanya Reynolds, links the two roles.
