‘Ted Lasso’ Returns for Season 4: What Fans Can Expect

The beloved Apple TV+ comedy series ‘Ted Lasso’ is officially making a comeback. After much speculation, fans can rejoice as the heartwarming soccer series gears up for its fourth season.

Apple TV+ Confirms ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4

Apple TV+ recently announced that ‘Ted Lasso’ will return, with Jason Sudeikis reprising his role as Ted and continuing as an executive producer. The news comes after Sudeikis and the show’s creators initially suggested that the story had concluded with Season 3.

In an official statement, Sudeikis shared:

“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.”

New Direction: Ted Takes on Women’s Soccer

In an interview on the New Heights podcast, Sudeikis revealed an exciting twist: Ted will now be coaching a women’s team. While this shift is a fresh take for the series, Sudeikis acknowledged the challenge of continuing a story they originally intended to end.

“It’s daunting, because we told the story we wanted to tell. But there’s more there.”

Returning Cast and Production Updates

While Apple TV+ has not confirmed a release date, the studio has hinted at key cast members returning. Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) is set to return as both an actor and executive producer. Reports suggest that Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) have also signed deals to reprise their roles.

Most of the show’s original writers and creative team are expected to return, ensuring that the new season maintains its signature humor and heart. Veteran producer Jack Burditt joins as an executive producer, bringing his experience from successful TV projects.

A Show That Defined an Era

‘Ted Lasso’ debuted in August 2020 and quickly became Apple TV+’s biggest hit, winning 13 Emmy Awards. Praised for its themes of friendship, resilience, and empathy, the show resonated deeply with audiences—especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although Season 3 received mixed reactions, its conclusion left room for more storytelling. Now, with its return, ‘Ted Lasso’ may once again bring uplifting entertainment during uncertain times.

What’s Next?

With Season 4 taking the story in a new direction, fans can expect fresh challenges for Ted and the AFC Richmond family. As details emerge, one thing remains clear—Ted Lasso’s journey is far from over.
