Ted Lasso, one of the biggest hits Apple TV+ has produced, is set to return to screens for the first time since May 2023.
The show follows the title character as he arrives from America to take charge of fictional Premier League side AFC Richmond – knowing little to nothing about the game itself.
It’s received a mind-boggling 94 awards and 246 nominations, according to IMDB, so, naturally, the clamour for more episodes is intense. Here’s everything we know about a new Ted Lasso season so far…
Has Ted Lasso Season 4 been confirmed?
After shooting in Kansas City and London last year, the highly anticipated fourth season of Ted Lasso is officially set to make its global debut later this year, in summer 2026, as confirmed by Apple TV last week.
Apple TV have promised a whole new challenge for the eponymous hero in season four:
"Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would."
What to expect from Ted Lasso Season 4
In a press statement last year, Jason Sudeikis, who plays the fictional coach Ted Lasso, said: "As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’ in season four 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."
The Season 3 finale saw Keeley (Juno Temple) convince Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) to start a women's team at AFC Richmond. Ted Lasso returns to Richmond to coach the second-division team and if the men's team is anything to go by, this is sure to have its ups and downs.
Cast for Ted Lasso Season 4
Alongside Sudeikis, cast members Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift – who play Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, former player Roy Kent and director Leslie Higgins respectively – are all part of the new season.
Juno Temple (Keeley Jones) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) will be back too, but there are some notable absentees.
Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt), Nick Mohammed (Nate Shelley), Sarah Niles (Dr. Sharon Fieldstone), Anthony Head (Rupert Mannion), Toheeb Jimoh (Sam Obisanya), James Lance (Trent Crimm), Cristo Fernandez (Dani Rojas), Kola Bokinni (Isaac McAdoo) and Billy Harris (Colin Hughes) are not involved.
The role of Ted Lasso's son Henry, previously played by Gus Turner, will now be filled by 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' star Grant Feely, and there are a number of other new cast members now confirmed.
"It feels like it was the most beautiful, beloved dog that was buried, and now we’ve exhumed it, and I am here for it," said Waddingham.
"I was hankering and hankering and hankering and hankering to see where Rebecca had gone, where she was going to. She’s my girl. She’s in my bloodstream, so I’m thrilled that it’s been exhumed."
Existing cast:
Jason Sudeikis as Ted Lasso
Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton
Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent
Juno Temple as Keeley Jones
Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins
Brendan Hunt as Coach Beard
New additions:
Grant Feely as Henry Lasso
Tanya Reynolds as new assistant coach for the AFC Richmond women's team
Other expanded cast members include Faye Marsay, Jude Mack, Aisling Sharkey, Rex Hayes and Abbie Hern.
Where we left Ted Lasso in Season 3
The last we saw of Lasso was him returning to his homeland to be near his son in Kansas, after just missing out on the Premier League, with former player Roy Kent stepping into the breach, leaving room for a reprisal of the series.
That finale also saw Keeley Jones and owner Rebecca Welton discussing the establishment of a Richmond women’s side, setting up the storyline that will be explored in the new season.
The new series will be released in summer 2026, with an exact release date yet to be announced.
