Jason Sudeikis, star and producer of Ted Lasso, has officially confirmed that Season 4 is in development. The announcement was made during a conversation with Jason and Travis Kelce on their New Heights sports podcast. Sudeikis revealed, "That’s what we’re writing. We’re writing Season 4 now…Ted’s coaching a women’s team.”
This is the first concrete update on the show's future in almost two years, confirming the hopes of fans eager for more feel-good soccer. While details remain scarce, it's unclear whether Season 4 will be the final season or where the story will take place geographically. Even Travis Kelce's attempts to pry information from Sudeikis about Ted's potential return to the U.S. were unsuccessful. Sudeikis responded with a laugh, "Yeah, that’s too many questions, and that’s only because I don’t know."
According to Deadline, Juno Temple (Keeley) is in negotiations to reprise her role, joining Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca), Brett Goldstein (Roy), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie), who are already confirmed to return. Deadline sources suggest filming for the first episode of Season 4 will likely begin in Kansas City before the story shifts back to the UK, with production aiming to start in July.
Apple TV+ is already generating buzz around Ted Lasso's return. While a release date and plot details are yet to be revealed, the show's official X/Twitter account recently reactivated with a humorous post acknowledging its extended absence.
Our last major update on the show's progress came in the summer of 2024, when a Deadline report indicated that Season 4 was nearing approval. For more on Ted Lasso, you can read about the challenges faced by TV fans in mid-2023 and our review of the Ted Lasso Season 3 premiere.
