Jason Sudeikis is back as the ever-cheerful Coach Ted Lasso, but this time, he’s stepping into unfamiliar territory that promises to stretch his optimism like never before.
Season 4: A Bold New Chapter
Apple TV+ has confirmed that production is underway for Season 4 of the beloved Emmy-winning series Ted Lasso. And according to a newly released blurb, Ted won’t be returning to AFC Richmond’s men’s squad—but instead, he’s taking charge of a second division women’s football team.
“Ted returns to Richmond, taking on 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.”
From Underdog to Uncharted Waters
Sudeikis’ portrayal of the endlessly optimistic American coach navigating English football has charmed fans worldwide since the show’s debut in 2020. The third season wrapped in 2023, seemingly tying up the story—but Season 4 promises a surprising reinvention of the Lasso legacy.
