Fans of the heartwarming Apple TV+ series, *Ted Lasso*, have reason to rejoice: Season 4 is officially on the way. Jason Sudeikis, the show's star and producer, announced this exciting development during a chat on the New Heights sports podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce. In a snippet from the latest episode, the NFL brothers eagerly sought updates on the show's future after the conclusion of Season 3 in the summer of 2023.
Sudeikis shared the news, stating, “That’s what we’re writing. We’re writing Season 4 now. That’s the official word, yeah. Ted’s coaching a women’s team.” This revelation was further emphasized in a tweet from the New Heights podcast, celebrating the return of Ted Lasso and his new team. The video of the episode is set to be released at 9:30am ET on YouTube, with early listening available on Wondery+.
The announcement marks the first significant update on the series in nearly two years, much to the relief of fans eager to see more of the feel-good soccer show. While it remains unclear whether Season 4 will be the final installment or where the series will be set, Sudeikis humorously dodged questions about Ted's potential return to the U.S., admitting, “Yeah, that’s too many questions, and that’s only because I don’t know.”
According to Deadline, Juno Temple, who plays Keeley, is in negotiations to reprise her role, while Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift are confirmed to return as Rebecca, Roy, and Leslie, respectively. Filming for the first episode of Season 4 is expected to commence in Kansas City before the action shifts back to the UK, with production slated to begin in July.
Apple TV+ is already ramping up efforts to rekindle interest in Ted Lasso. Although specific release dates and plot details are still under wraps, the show's official X/Twitter account playfully acknowledged its long hiatus with a post that read, “Finally found the dang password to this thing. Sorry y’all. What’d I miss?”
The last update on the Ted Lasso saga was in the summer of 2024, when Deadline reported that Season 4 was gearing up for a greenlight.
