**’Ted Lasso’ Exhumed: Hannah Waddingham Excited for Season 4 Return**
Los Angeles, CA – Emmy-winning comedy series “Ted Lasso,” originally slated to conclude after three seasons, is officially returning for a fourth season on Apple TV+, and star Hannah Waddingham is thrilled. Waddingham, who plays AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Welton, likened the series’ revival to “exhuming the most beautiful, beloved dog that was buried.”
“It feels like it was the most beautiful, beloved dog that was buried, and now we’ve exhumed it, and I am here for it,” Waddingham told Variety at the premiere of the new Smurfs film. “I was hankering and hankering and hankering and hankering to see where Rebecca had gone, where she was going to. She’s my girl. She’s in my bloodstream, so I’m thrilled that it’s been exhumed.”
The series, starring Jason Sudeikis as the ever-optimistic American football coach turned Premier League manager, garnered critical acclaim in its initial run, though the third season received mixed reviews. Sudeikis is confirmed to return for the fourth season.
“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap, In season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be,” Sudeikis said.
A release date for the fourth season has not yet been announced.
