Exciting news for fans of the heartwarming soccer series, Ted Lasso! Jason Sudeikis, the show's star and producer, has officially announced that Ted Lasso Season 4 is in the works. This revelation came during a candid conversation on the New Heights sports podcast, hosted by NFL brothers Jason and Travis Kelce. A snippet from the latest podcast episode captures the moment when the Kelce brothers eagerly sought an update on the series following the conclusion of Season 3 in the summer of 2023.
Sudeikis, in his characteristic jovial manner, shared, "That’s what we’re writing. We’re writing Season 4 now. That’s the official word, yeah. Ted’s coaching a women’s team." This announcement marks the first concrete update on the continuation of the project in nearly two years, offering a sigh of relief for fans eager to see more of the feel-good series. However, details such as whether Season 4 will be the final season or the specific location of the new season remain under wraps. When pressed for more information, particularly about a potential return to the U.S., Sudeikis humorously responded, "Yeah, that’s too many questions, and that’s only because I don’t know."
Adding to the excitement, Deadline reports that Juno Temple, who plays Keeley, is in negotiations to reprise her role, while Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift are confirmed to return as Rebecca, Roy, and Leslie, respectively. Sources indicate that filming for the first episode of Season 4 is expected to start in Kansas City before the team heads back to the UK, with production set to begin in July.
Apple TV+ is already ramping up efforts to keep Ted Lasso in the public eye. Although specific release dates and plot details are still under wraps, the show’s official X/Twitter account has playfully acknowledged its unexpected hiatus, posting, "Finally found the dang password to this thing. Sorry y’all. What’d I miss?"
The last update on the Ted Lasso saga came in the summer of 2024, when Deadline reported that Season 4 was on the brink of receiving the green light.
