AceShowbiz - In a significant move, Warner Bros. Television has picked up the options for three original cast members: Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins). This is a major step towards securing the core cast and paving the way for a Season 4 greenlight.
Negotiations are underway with remaining cast members with SAG-AFTRA contracts, including Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard). The studio is confident in bringing the full cast back, as they have all expressed their willingness to continue their roles.
Getting the cast back on board is crucial for the potential Season 4, which is expected to start production in early 2025. The process for a greenlight also requires budget approval and scheduling accommodations for actors who have since moved on to other projects.
The renewal of "Ted Lasso" hinges on Jason Sudeikis's involvement, who has always been the driving force behind the show. Having originally conceived it as a three-season story, Sudeikis has since been open to continuing the series if the right idea came along.
Fans can rejoice as it seems that Sudeikis has found that idea over a year after the Season 3 finale. The show's uplifting tone and optimistic lead character made it an instant hit at the height of the pandemic, becoming Apple's most-watched original series and earning 13 Emmy Awards.
With the core cast returning and production preparations underway, Ted Lasso fans can eagerly anticipate the long-awaited fourth season.
