The soccer classic is coming back, and soon! Ted Lasso is back in the game!
Ted Lasso is officially making his return to the pitch. After more than a year of speculation, Apple TV+ has ordered a fourth season of its Emmy-winning comedy Ted Lasso. The pickup comes after co-creator and star Jason Sudeikis closed a deal to reprise his role as the title character, the manager of the fictional AFC Richmond soccer club in London.
On March 14, Apple TV+ confirmed that Ted Lasso will return for Season 4. Jason Sudeikis, who co-created the show with Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, and Bill Lawrence, will reprise his role and serve as an executive producer in the upcoming installment as well.
“We all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap’,” Sudeikis said in a statement. “In Season 4, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to leap before they look, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”
“Ted Lasso has been nothing short of a cultural juggernaut, inspiring a passionate fanbase all over the world, and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, compassion, and unwavering belief,” added Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “Everyone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show.”
Speculation about a possible fourth season has been ongoing since season three concluded in May 2023. The show’s creative team has said a decision would hinge largely on Sudeikis committing to continue. But now, we can rest easy, knowing that there is going to be more Ted Lasso in our lives.
What will Ted Lasso Season 4 be about?
Few details have been revealed about Ted Lasso Season 4. However, Sudeikis shared on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce on March 14 that in Season 4, Ted will be coaching a women’s team. “It’s daunting because we told the story we wanted to tell,” he said. “But there’s more there.”
Whilst unexpected, it does sound like a challenge on Ted Lasso can fix.
Who all are back for Ted Lasso Season 4?
At the time of writing, it is unclear which original cast members, aside from Sudeikis, will be returning for Season 4. Warner Bros. Television has reportedly secured 3 cast members for potential returns. They are:
- Hannah Waddingham – AFC Richmond owner, Rebecca Walton.
- Brett Goldstein – The footballer, Roy Kent.
- Jeremy Swift – Director of Football Operations, Leslie Higgins.
We do know for sure that our AFC Richmond player, Jamie Tartt, played magnificently by Phil Dunster will not be returning in Season 4, likely due to scheduling conflicts. However, we can catch him on Prime Video’s The Devil’s Hour and Apple’s Surface.
Apple TV+ has confirmed that most of the original creative team, including the majority of the show’s writers, will also be back for Season 4, ensuring that the series maintains its high-quality streak. A new addition is Jack Burditt, known for Netflix’s hit Nobody Wants This, who joins the team as an executive producer.
When is Ted Lasso Season 4 coming out?
Apple TV+ has yet to announce a release date for Season 4, though it’s expected that the next season won’t premiere until 2026 or 2027.
The first three seasons are currently streaming on Apple TV+. So pull up your socks and get going!
