While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Sudeikis revealed that he personally felt that his character’s story had already been told and that he didn’t want to change it all over again in a new season.

I wasn’t going to have Ted take their lives to justify the truckload of money. It didn’t make sense to me.”Sudeikis also added that money was never the issue.
