Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, Rex Hayes, and Grant Feely join the lineup, according to a report by Variety. Live Events Of particular note, Grant Feely will portray Ted's son, Henry Lasso, taking over the role as the character is given more narrative space in Season 4. Details about the other new characters remain under wraps, adding to the anticipation. Heavyweight Production Team Assembled The series continues under the stewardship of a robust creative team. Jason Sudeikis will serve as both lead actor and executive producer. Jack Burditt joins as an executive producer through his new overall deal with Apple TV+, signaling the studio's deepening commitment to the franchise. Other returning executive producers include Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, Bill Wrubel, Jamie Lee, and Jane Becker. Brett Goldstein, who also pens the show's scripts, remains integral to both creative and performance aspects. Notably, Bill Lawrence will continue his involvement through Doozer Productions alongside Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer. Writing and producing duties are further supported by talents such as Sara Walker, Phoebe Walsh, and Sasha Garron, while Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television handle production logistics. Critical Darling Turned Cultural Touchstone Since its debut during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020, Ted Lasso quickly struck a chord with global audiences. Its unrelenting optimism, emotional sincerity, and cultural inclusivity helped position the show as more than just a comedy — it became a phenomenon. Over three seasons, the show amassed 61 Emmy nominations and 13 wins. These include consecutive awards for Best Comedy Series and acting wins for both Sudeikis and Goldstein. The series finale of Season 3 aired in May 2023, leaving fans both satisfied and eager for more. Apple TV+'s Flagship Series Makes a Strategic Comeback For Apple, Ted Lasso remains a cornerstone of its original content strategy. The series helped cement Apple TV+ as a serious contender in the streaming landscape, competing with industry giants like Netflix and HBO. The decision to greenlight a fourth season after speculation about the show's conclusion suggests the platform's intent to sustain viewer interest through familiar IPs while experimenting with fresh themes. Apple CEO Tim Cook also added to the buzz by sharing the first look on X (formerly Twitter), captioned 'From biscuits to BBQ,' a nod to the show's transatlantic humor and roots. When Will Season 4 Release? Although production is underway, Apple TV+ has not yet revealed a release date for Ted Lasso Season 4 . Given the timing of the production start in July 2025, an early-to-mid 2026 premiere appears plausible, as mentioned in a report by Variety. Fans should expect teasers and more announcements by the end of the year, as post-production advances and marketing campaigns roll out. Evolving the Legacy While Staying True to the Core The fourth installment aims to balance continuity with innovation. While Ted's warm leadership and unorthodox methods remain the heart of the show, introducing a women's football team brings timely representation and narrative freshness. The transition allows the series to retain its foundational values — empathy, perseverance, and community — while addressing broader conversations in sports and society. Additionally, the show's evolving cast and crew reflect a diversification in perspectives, reinforcing Ted Lasso 's relevance in a rapidly shifting media landscape. The Return of Believe As cameras roll in Kansas City and London, the return of Ted Lasso signals more than just another television season — it marks the reawakening of a cultural movement built on optimism and second chances. With its shift toward women's football and an evolving ensemble, Ted Lasso Season 4 seems poised to charm audiences once again, both old and new. Though the official premiere date remains under wraps, one thing is certain: Ted and his biscuits are back, and the world could use a little more of both.

Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and more are all smiles in 'Ted Lasso' season 4 first look
Biscuits with the boss look a tad different in the first look at season 4 of Ted Lasso. Apple TV+ released the first look at Jason Sudeikis, Jeremy Swift, Hannah Waddingham, and Juno Temple in the upcoming fourth season of the Emmy-winning series as production officially begins Monday in Kansas City, with additional filming set to take place in London. Swift (as Leslie Higgins), Waddingham (Rebecca Welton), Temple (Keeley Jones), and Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) are gathered around a booth in a sun-drenched diner in the photo. Brett Goldstein, also a writer and executive producer on the dramedy, and Brendan Hunt, series co-creator, are also set to reprise their roles as Roy Kent and Coach Beard, respectively. The new season will follow Ted as he returns to Richmond to tackle 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," per the the crew are series newcomers Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely, the latter of whom will be stepping in as Ted's son, Henry. Though initially conceived as a three-season series by Sudeikis and his co-creators, the show received a surprise season 4 renewal back in March. The Apple TV+ juggernaut debuted 2020 and introduced Sudeikis' fish-out-of-water American football coach who is hired to manage a British soccer team. Goldstein memorably compared the return to the resurrection of a dead cat while speaking to NPR in April. "I have a friend that I went to university with, and I think about this a lot," Goldstein recalled. "He had a cat that died. He loved his cat. And the cat was run over, and they buried the cat. He was a child. They buried the cat in the garden, and he lay in bed so sad, so upset and crying, and he prayed and he wished, 'I wish the cat would come back.'" "And then the cat did come back, and it turned out the cat they buried wasn't their cat," he continued. "I think about that all the time. I'm like, no wonder this guy is f---ed in the head, because he thinks death isn't real, so of course he's insane. He's such a weird guy 'cause he thinks he can bring things back from the dead." Resurrecting the show felt like that cat's resurrection, he said. "I guess I'm saying I feel like that kid. Like, we buried it. We all cried, we had a funeral. Are you saying we can bring anything back?' It's too much power.' Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

'Ted Lasso' season 4 is finally happening, with filming now officially underway. After weeks of scarce updates, fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Hannah Waddingham recently confirmed that 'Ted Lasso' season 4 would start filming in July (which is now clearly true), and Apple CEO Tim Cook shared a first look at the new season on Twitter ( currently known as X).

While season 3 wrapped up in a way that felt like a series finale, the creative team always left the door open. Now that 'Ted Lasso' season 4 is official, it might not be the same story fans are used to. Co-creator Bill Lawrence has hinted at a new direction, saying season 4 would tell a 'different story,' and even described it as 'almost a self-reboot.' Although season 4 is still planned to take place in London, filming is reportedly beginning in the United States. Since the season 3 finale showed Ted heading back to America, it's likely that the new season will pick up from that moment. Judging by Cook's post, this moment could easily serve as a strong and fitting way to start the season. Whether it's a continuation, a soft relaunch, or a whole new direction, one thing is clear: the world of 'Ted Lasso' isn't done just yet. And with production underway, fans can start getting excited for what's next. As production for 'Ted Lasso' season 4 is underway, several key cast members are set to return, along with some new faces.

Jeremy Swift reprises his role as Leslie, the team's operations director. Brendan Hunt returns as Coach Beard, Ted's loyal assistant whose unique coaching style adds a distinctive touch to the team's strategy. Additionally, Grant Feely has been cast as Henry, Ted's son, marking a recasting from previous seasons. The cast will also welcome several new faces, including Faye Marsay, Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Abbie Hern, Rex Hayes, and Aisling Sharkey. While their exact roles remain under wraps, it's likely they'll be playing members of the revamped AFC Richmond women's team.
