**New York, NY** – Apple TV+ announced Friday that the Emmy-winning comedy series *Ted Lasso* will return for a fourth season. Jason Sudeikis will reprise his role as the titular character, the optimistic American football coach navigating the world of English Premier League soccer.
The announcement ends months of speculation following the emotionally resonant Season 3 finale, which saw Ted returning to Kansas. While creators previously suggested the third season might be the last, Sudeikis confirmed in an interview on the “New Heights” podcast that the show will continue, with Ted taking on a new coaching role. He hinted at a shift in focus, stating that the upcoming season will explore the characters learning to “leap before they look.”
Sudeikis revealed that Ted will be coaching a women’s team in the new season. While Apple TV+ hasn’t released a premiere date or detailed plot information, they confirmed that Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) will return as both a writer and executive producer. Deals were reportedly secured with Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Welton) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) to return if the show was renewed. Most of the original creative team and writers are also expected back, with veteran producer Jack Burditt joining as an executive producer.
The show, which debuted in August 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, became a surprise hit for Apple TV+, garnering 13 Emmy Awards and widespread acclaim for its heartwarming humor and positive themes. While the third season received mixed reactions compared to the first two, the show’s return is anticipated to provide another source of comfort and optimism amidst current social and political anxieties.
