Apple TV's head of development Matt Cherniss is giving little away, but has told Deadline: 'I have high hopes for season four of Ted Lasso, we're just getting down that road. I don't know what more can be said about Ted Lasso that hasn't already been said, and we're so excited that it's coming back.'
He added when asked if the show will be reinventing itself: 'I don't think I want to say anything about the direction that the show is going, only that I think if you love Ted Lasso you're gonna love the next season.'
WHAT NEXT FOR TED LASSO?
No release date for Season 4 of Ted Lasso has been revealed as yet, with a return to streaming services around the world seemingly some way off. Excitement is building, though, around a production that has already collected prestigious Emmy Awards.

Movie Review: Kristin Scott Thomas directs Scarlett Johansson in comedic drama 'My Mother's Wedding'
Before Kristin Scott Thomas turned 12, she lost her father and stepfather. Both were Royal Navy pilots who died in crashes. The first happened when she was 5. The second at age 11. Thomas uses these facts, a kind of origin story, as the basis for her directorial debut, 'My Mother's Wedding,' a comedic drama about family, trauma and getting on with it that opens in theaters Friday. Knowing that the story comes from a real place is important for the experience. It gives 'My Mother's Wedding,' a perfectly average film that doesn't quite land the way it should, an emotional depth that it's otherwise lacking. This is a strange shortcoming considering the caliber of the cast, including Thomas as the bride to be, and Sienna Miller, Emily Beecham and Scarlett Johansson as her daughters. But it's a cruel reminder that a good hook, talented actors, one killer monologue and a picturesque setting (in this case, the English countryside) aren't guarantees that a movie will work. In the film, the deaths may be in the distant past, but they continue to haunt Diana's (Thomas) adult daughters as she prepares to marry another. Diana's new man is not a dashing pilot, forever preserved in handsome youth. Geoffrey (James Fleet) is very gray. He likes to talk about birds, ospreys in particular, has never had children and comes with a very silly last name (Loveglove) that she plans to take. Her girls are not exactly impressed, though they've all got their own stuff to deal with. It should be said that Johansson is indeed playing a British woman in this film, and while I don't feel qualified to comment on the nuances of her accent, all I can say is that there is a consistently strange disconnect to hear it coming out of her mouth. Johansson is a great actor who I've believed in many wilder roles, from Marvel movies right on down to her Ellen Greene riff during 'Saturday Night Live's' 50th anniversary show. But, somehow, she's hard to buy as Katherine Frost: A British, lesbian Royal Navy officer in a longtime relationship with a woman named Jack (played by fellow beauty Freida Pinto). Miller's character is Victoria, a Hollywood actor known for franchise dreck (no one can remember whether the latest 'Dame Of Darkness' is the fourth or fifth in the series) and short-lived relationships. And Beecham is the youngest Georgina, a nurse who suspects that her husband is having an affair. To find out, the girls hire a private detective to surveil her house and show them the footage after the wedding. It's a very busy, fraught weekend for everyone. There's lots of fretting over why Katherine won't marry Jack, and why Victoria is dancing around a relationship with a wealthy, older French man when her childhood crush still pines for her. There's lingering anxiety about their mom marrying this man who seems so unlike the two heroes that came before and much discussion about the importance of last names, marriage and making sure kids feel like they belong to someone. Some things get resolved, but it's hard to shake the feeling that everyone might need a new therapist by the end. 'My Mother's Wedding' also has a silly lightness to it that's aiming for something along the lines of a Richard Curtis romantic comedy. But coherency of the vision is limited, as is the audience's investment, though there are some lovely and inspired touches like using Iranian artist Reza Riahi to hand paint several animated flashback vignettes based on her memories of her fathers. Thomas co-wrote the script with her husband, journalist John Micklethwait, which includes a particularly poignant monologue for her character telling her daughters, essentially, to grow up and move on — a mature and worthy statement that might come a bit too late. 'My Mother's Wedding' feels only partially realized. But Thomas did have the good sense to end with a song that might just conjure up some feelings for any 'Heartburn' fans out there: Carly Simon's 'Coming Around Again,' this time a duet with Alanis Morissette. 'My Mother's Wedding,' a Vertical release in theaters Friday, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for 'brief nudity, some sexual material and language.' Running time: 95 minutes. Two stars out of four.

'Star Wars: Starfighter' casting news: 'House of the Dragon' star is officially teaming up with Ryan Gosling
The good news keeps coming for "Star Wars" fans — after the exciting announcement that superstar Ryan Gosling would be leading the beloved franchise's upcoming standalone film, "Star Wars: Starfighter," the cast has just gotten an equally exciting, and fiery, addition: "House of the Dragon" star Matt Smith. The British actor already knows his way around a major genre franchise, from his role as the 11th Doctor in the BBC sci-fi classic "Doctor Who" and Daemon Targaryen in HBO's fantasy drama "House of the Dragon." Now, he'll be joining the "Star Wars" universe, according to a Deadline exclusive, though details on the villain that Smith will reportedly play are scant. It's a bit of a full-circle moment for Matt Smith, who was originally cast in 2019's "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," though the part didn't make it onscreen. "Starfighter" will take place approximately five years after the events of that film. 'We were close to being in it, but it never quite happened. I think the thing they were thinking of before. Eventually, the part became obsolete, and they didn't need it. So, I never got to be in 'Star Wars,'' he told the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast in 2021. Though he played coy on exactly who he was meant to play in "The Rise of Skywalker,' Smith added, 'It was a really groovy part and concept. It was a big thing, a big story detail. A transformative 'Star Wars' story detail. But it never quite got over the line. It was a big shift in the history of the franchise.' Looks like he'll get another chance to make a mark on the fan-favorite franchise along with Gosling and previously announced cast member Mia Goth in "Star Wars: Starfighter," which will be helmed by Canadian filmmaker Shawn Levy ("Deadpool & Wolverine", "Free Guy"). With a screenplay written by Jonathan Tropper ("Warrior," "Your Friends & Neighbors", "Starfighter" will reportedly not be connected to the nine films that make up the franchise's ongoing Skywalker Saga, and will serve as a standalone film. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "It's not a prequel, not a sequel," Levy announced in April at a Star Wars Celebration panel in Tokyo, per The Hollywood Reporter. "It's a new adventure. It's set in a period of time that we haven't seen explored yet." Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Terry Reid did so much more than not join Led Zeppelin
Let's get the story out of the way. Terry Reid, 19 and beautiful and full of range, soul and energy, gets approached by his pal, Yardbirds guitarist Jimmy Page. I'm forming a band, Page tells him, and I'd like you to be my singer. Thanks, Reid responds, but I've got me own gigs to think about. Opening for Cream and the Rolling Stones. Recording for Mickie Most. But I've got this pal … his name is Robert.
