Jason Sudeikis, the star and producer of the acclaimed Apple TV+ series "Ted Lasso," has confirmed that a fourth season is in development. The announcement came during his appearance on the New Heights sports podcast, hosted by NFL brothers Jason and Travis Kelce. In a snippet from the podcast's latest episode, Sudeikis shared that the team is currently writing Season 4, with Ted Lasso set to coach a women's team.
The news marks the first significant update on the continuation of the series in nearly two years, bringing much-needed relief to fans eager for more of the heartwarming soccer saga. While no details have been disclosed about whether this will be the final season or its setting, Sudeikis humorously sidestepped questions about a potential return to the U.S., admitting he didn't have the answers.
Deadline reports that Juno Temple, who plays Keeley, is in talks 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 start in Kansas City in July before moving back to the UK.
Apple TV+ is actively working to keep "Ted Lasso" in the public eye. Although a release date and plot details remain under wraps, the show's official X/Twitter account playfully acknowledged its long hiatus with a post about finally finding the password to the account.
The last update on "Ted Lasso" was in the summer of 2024, when Deadline reported that Season 4 was nearing greenlight status. For more insights into the series, you can explore why mid-2023 was a challenging period for TV fans and read our review of the Season 3 premiere.
