Ted Lasso Season 4: Cast, Release Date & Latest News

Ted Lasso will officially be back for a fourth season on Apple TV+.

Apple has recently announced that they have started working on the next season of the popular show. Jason Sudeikis will return as Ted Lasso, the optimistic American football coach who becomes a soccer manager in England.

Ted Lasso has become a favorite among viewers and critics. Jason Sudeikis plays Coach Lasso, who is known for his positive attitude and is tasked with leading the fictional AFC Richmond to victory.

The show is praised for its feel-good comedy and its thoughtful approach to mental health. In 2021, Ted Lasso won several Emmy Awards, including Best Comedy Series, and awards for Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and Brett Goldstein.

After three successful seasons, Ted Lasso has become a cultural phenomenon, winning 13 Emmy Awards. Season three seemed to conclude the story, with Ted Lasso returning to the United States after coaching AFC Richmond for three years.

Although season three felt like a natural ending, recent news suggests the story will continue. As one of Apple TV+`s most popular shows, fans are excited for more of its humor and heartwarming stories.

Despite the third season appearing to be the end, Apple TV+ has confirmed that season four is in development.

When will Ted Lasso be back, and which actors will return? Let`s find out.

Ted Lasso Season 4 Cast Members

Jason Sudeikis will definitely be back for season four, which is expected. However, the rest of the cast is not confirmed. Last August, reports indicated that Apple had options for Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) to return, but it hasn`t been officially announced. As details about the new season`s plot are limited, it will be interesting to see how these characters will be involved.

While the cast is still being decided, the main creative team is expected to remain. Sudeikis will continue as executive producer with Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel. Jack Burditt, known for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, is joining as an executive producer. Co-creator Bill Lawrence is also returning, though he is currently focused on his other show, Shrinking.

Juno Temple, who played Keeley in the first three seasons, is in talks to return. Nick Mohammed has also hinted at his return on social media, adding to the excitement.

He mentioned on the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X that he knew about Ted coming back to coach a women`s football team at Richmond. He indicated that this information had been released in the press.

Casting is also underway for a young actor to play Ted Lasso`s son, Henry, who is now 12 years old and a soccer player. Kola Bokinni is also expected to return, with the AFC Richmond captain saying he`ll be there no matter what.

It`s unclear which other familiar faces will return for season four. However, many cast members have expressed interest in returning, and guest appearances are possible, though nothing official has been announced yet.

Unfortunately, Phil Dunster, who played Jamie Tartt, will not be in Season 4 due to scheduling conflicts with his roles in The Devil`s Hour and Surface.

Here are the cast members and characters from Ted Lasso season 3. Actors rumored to return for season 4 are in bold.

Ted Lasso Season 4 Release Date, Trailer

Since season 4 was just announced, there is no release date or trailer yet. We will update this information when they become available.

Filming is expected to take about a year, so it`s unlikely to be released before the end of the year.

What Could Ted Lasso Season 4 Explore?

For Ted Lasso to remain true to itself, Ted Lasso needs to be involved. One main challenge for season four is bringing Ted back to England from his family in the U.S. to rejoin AFC Richmond.

The show could continue without Ted in charge, with Sudeikis having a behind-the-scenes role. However, Ted is central to the show`s appeal, so it`s hard to imagine it without him in some capacity.

At the end of Season 3, AFC Richmond was planning to start a women`s team, suggested by Keeley Jones to Rebecca Welton. Ted could coach this team, providing new comedic situations as he coaches a different team. Sudeikis hinted that season 4 would focus on this direction on the New Heights podcast.

Meanwhile, Roy Kent is managing the AFC Richmond men`s team with Coach Beard and Nathan Shelley. After narrowly missing the Premier League title last season, winning the title could still be a major goal in season four.
