Everything We Know About ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4

• Apple TV+ has officially renewed “Ted Lasso” for a fourth season.
• The show’s future was uncertain after the season three finale, which aired in 2023.
• Jason Sudeikis will return to the show. The rest of the cast has yet to be announced.

It’s been almost two years since the season three finale of “Ted Lasso” aired.

But AFC Richmond fans now have a reason to celebrate once again, as Apple TV+ announced earlier this week that the Emmy-winning comedy will be back for a fourth season, with star Jason Sudeikis returning in the titular role.

“‘Ted Lasso’ has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring a passionate fanbase all over the world, and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, compassion and unwavering belief,” Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+, said in a statement announcing the show’s return. “Everyone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show.”

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming series.

Right now, only one returning cast member has been confirmed

Sudeikis, who also serves as an executive producer on the show, shared a rather Lasso-like statement while confirming his return.

“We all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,” Sudeikis said in a press release. “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.”

Brendan Hunt and Brett Goldstein will return as executive producers — with Goldstein also continuing to serve as a cowriter on the series — but it’s not been confirmed whether they will also be back as cast members Beard and Roy Kent.

It’s also not known whether the rest of the show’s beloved ensemble, which includes Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Nick Mohammed, and Phil Dunster, will reprise their roles.

However, one addition has been announced to the creative team. Jack Burditt, a TV producer who worked on the Netflix hit “Nobody Wants This,” will join as an executive producer as part of a new overall deal with Apple TV+.

Season four will shift focus to a women’s football team, Sudeikis has said

Sudeikis spoke about the new season on an episode of the “New Heights” podcast — hosted by former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce — on Friday.

“We’re writing season four now,” Sudeikis said. “That’s the official word. Ted’s coaching a women’s team.”

When pushed for more details, including whether the new season would see his character come back to the US, Sudeikis said: “That’s too many questions,” adding: “I don’t know.”

The season three finale saw Ted return home to Kansas

“Ted Lasso,” which debuted in 2020, became one of AppleTV+’s most-streamed shows over its initial three-season run.

The season three finale — which many believed was the closing chapter — aired in May 2023. While it was not officially billed as a show finale, it wrapped up many major storylines and saw Ted return home to Kansas to be closer to his son (Gus Turner).

Apple TV+ has not yet announced a premiere date for the new season and did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
