“Ted Lasso” Is Back for Season 4—Here’s What We Know About the New Chapter
Just when we thought we had said goodbye to the lovable “Ted Lasso” Apple TV+ drops a bombshell: Season 4 is happening! Fans were devastated after Season 3, but it turns out the heartwarming, feel-good comedy isn’t done just yet. The news has fans buzzing with excitement, and honestly, we can’t wait to see what’s next for Ted and the team.
The Big Announcement “Ted Lasso” Returns
After the emotional conclusion of Season 3, it seemed like “Ted Lasso’s” time had come to an end. But now we know that’s not the case! Apple TV+ has confirmed that the show will return for a fourth season, much to the delight of fans everywhere. It’s been a wild ride, and we’re not ready to leave AFC Richmond just yet.
What Cast Members Are Coming Back?
Jason Sudeikis will, of course, return as Ted Lasso, and the core group is back too: Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca, Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent, and Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins. As for Juno Temple, who plays Keeley Jones, it’s not fully confirmed yet, but we’re hopeful she’ll be back in some capacity.
What Can We Expect In Season 4?
The Season 4 premiere will film in Kansas, likely Kansas City, before Ted heads back to the UK. The show’s going to mix things up with a change of location, but don’t worry—Richmond will still play a central role. How exactly that will play out is a mystery, but we’re sure it’ll bring something fresh and exciting.
Jason Sudeikis gave us a hint about the direction of the new season, offering a cryptic but intriguing clue: “As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap, in season four, 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.” It sounds like the team is going to face some unpredictable challenges—and we’re all in for that journey.
Background On “Ted Lasso”
When Sudeikis first created “Ted Lasso”, he envisioned it as a three-season arc. And even though the show became a huge success, he stuck to that plan. But while Season 3 felt like a natural end, the door was never completely closed for more. That’s why the final episode of Season 3, despite its “So Long, Farewell” title, didn’t officially call it the end.
Since the finale aired in May 2023, Apple TV+ and Warner Bros. TV had been in talks to bring the show back, but it all depended on Sudeikis’ involvement. Once he agreed to return (albeit unofficially at first), both companies worked out the details for a fourth season, from the budget to contracts with the cast and crew.
Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Television Group, shared her excitement about the return of “Ted Lasso”, saying, “If ever there was a show the world needed more of right now, it would be Ted Lasso. We—along with countless fans around the globe—have been rooting for another season, and it is an incredible feeling to be able to say, ‘Yes, it’s happening!’ We thank our partners at Apple and can’t wait for Jason and the entire Ted Lasso dream team to step back onto the pitch and deliver another season of this phenomenal series.”
What’s Next For “Ted Lasso”?
Season 4 is shaping up to be another rollercoaster of heartwarming moments, laughs, and challenges. Whether it’s Ted’s leadership, Roy Kent’s gruff wisdom, or Rebecca’s evolution, there’s still plenty of room for these characters to grow. And with some potential new characters, like a possible women’s team or new players, it’s clear that AFC Richmond’s story is far from over.
“Ted Lasso” isn’t just a show; it’s a cultural phenomenon. It’s inspired real-life coaching styles, sparked conversations about mental health, and brought positivity to millions around the world. Now, as Season 4 gets underway, it looks like there’s still a lot more Lasso magic left to share.
So whether you’ve been with Ted and the gang from the start or you’re just now getting into the series, get ready—because Season 4 is on its way, and it’s going to be one unforgettable season.
