Hold onto your biscuits, folks—AppleTV+ dropped a Friday bombshell that’s got us believing in miracles again: “Ted Lasso” is saddling up for a fourth season! The Emmy-winning comedy that’s sweeter than a Richmond tea party is officially back, and Jason Sudeikis, the man with the mustache that launched a thousand memes, is dusting off his whistle to coach AFC Richmond once more.
Sudeikis, who moonlights as the show’s exec producer and co-creator when he’s not charming us as Ted, spilled some Lasso-flavored wisdom in a news release: “In a world where we’re all scared to jump without a parachute, Season 4’s AFC Richmond crew says, ‘Screw it, let’s cannonball first and figure out the landing later!’ Turns out, wherever they splat, it’s the perfect spot—classic Ted logic!” Honestly, it’s like he’s channeling a motivational poster with legs.
The cast list’s still a mystery box—will Hannah Waddingham’s Rebecca tower over us again? Will Juno Temple’s Keeley dazzle, or Phil Dunster’s Jamie Tartt flex his ego? What about Jeremy Swift’s Higgins or Nick Mohammed’s Nate? Apple’s keeping us guessing like we’re trying to solve a football formation blindfolded. But they did throw us a bone: Brendan Hunt and Brett Goldstein are back as exec producers, with Goldstein still scribbling scripts. Will they pop up as Beard and Roy Kent, though? Mum’s the word—sneaky devils!
Sudeikis couldn’t resist teasing us on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, dropping a Season 4 nugget: Ted’s swapping locker rooms to coach a women’s team! Bet he’s already baking extra biscuits for the gals. This news hits nearly two years after Season 3’s finale left us with a bittersweet “is that it?” vibe—turns out, it was just a cliffhanger in disguise!
Since its 2020 debut, “Ted Lasso” has been AppleTV+’s golden goose, raking in streams and 13 Emmys, including a shiny best comedy trophy and a lead actor nod for Sudeikis. The show’s a warm hug of a story: Ted, an American college football goof, bumbles across the Atlantic to lead AFC Richmond, a scrappy English squad clawing out of the relegation dumpster. He’s clueless about “proper football,” but his sunshine-and-rainbows attitude turns every fumble into a life lesson. Season 4’s coming, and we’re ready to leap before we look—Ted wouldn’t have it any other way!
