'Believe it'.
Filming for Season 4 of "Ted Lasso" is set to start this summer, one of the award-winning comedy-drama show's cast members confirmed to a British radio station, calling it "a beautifully drawn script."
English actress Hannah Waddington, who plays AFC Richmond football team Owner Rebecca Welton in the series, said filming for the show begins in July while teasing crumbs about the upcoming season during an interview with Capital FM Radio.
The announcement of the new season came from Apple TV+ on March 14 but included few details about the one-season renewal, although USA TODAY previously reported it is expected that 10 new episodes will air in 2026.
"We thought' we'd mourned the loss and now its rising from the dead," Waddington said.
During a March edition of Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast, "New Heights," series star and executive producer Jason Sudeikis told the Kelces' his main character, Ted Lasso, coaches a women's team during the upcoming season.

'Our writers are literally real Jedi Knights'
During Waddington's nearly 15-minute May 21 interview, the Emmy-winning actress praised the 'feminist men' behind the series and called the show's writers "real Jedi Knights."
"They're just incredible," Waddington said. "And we've got like a full room of real feminist men. So we've got all the fabulous women there, but men that are in there, I think you really see it in the scripts... it's just so beautifully drawn."
During the interview, the hosts presented Waddington with a pink box of shortbread biscuits, which Ted Lasso repeatedly gives to her character in the show.
She also spoke about her work with Tom Cruise on the new release of 'Mission Impossible − The Final Reckoning' in theaters May 23.
