AceShowbiz - Ted Lasso is set to return for a fourth season, much to the excitement of its devoted fanbase. The popular series, which debuted in 2020, follows American football coach Ted Lasso as he navigates the world of British soccer, bringing heart and humor to AFC Richmond's journey.

The story initially focused on Ted, portrayed by Jason Sudeikis, as he coached the Richmond team and helped lead them close to winning the Premier League. Following season 3’s conclusion in 2023, Ted returns to the U.S., leaving his trusted colleagues Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt), Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein), and Nathan Shelley (Nick Mohammed) to take over the coaching responsibilities for AFC Richmond.

At the same time, Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) and Keeley Jones (Juno Temple) begin exploring the possibility of launching a women’s team for the club, setting the stage for new storylines.

After season 3 ended, Sudeikis initially suggested the story might be complete. However, in a 2025 episode of the "New Heights" podcast, he revealed that a fourth season was already underway. He teased that “Ted’s coaching a women’s team,” confirming the new direction for the show’s next chapter.

Ted Lasso season 4 will center on Ted’s newest challenge: coaching a second division women’s football team in Richmond. An official synopsis states, “Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would,” indicating a fresh but familiar blend of humor and heart.

In January 2026, Apple TV released the first official look at season 4. The images show Sudeikis back in his iconic coaching attire alongside Brendan Hunt and a new assistant coach, played by Tanya Reynolds. One photo features Ted handing his trademark pink box of homemade biscuits to Rebecca next to an airplane, while another captures him seated inside the Crown & Anchor pub, a beloved setting from past seasons.

Further teasing fans’ anticipation, Apple TV dropped a season 4 teaser in April 2026. The clip shows Ted Lasso returning to the pitch to a warm reception. At the end, Ted shares a quirky new phrase, “ASAP PP,” meaning “as soon as possible, pretty please,” highlighting the show’s signature charm and optimism.

Regarding the cast, Deadline confirmed in August 2024 that contracts were renewed for key players including Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Juno Temple, and Jeremy Swift. New additions to the cast include Tanya Reynolds, Grant Feely, Jude Mack, Faye Marsey, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, and Abbie Hern, promising fresh faces and characters to enrich the storyline.

Fans eager to mark their calendars can look forward to the premiere of Ted Lasso season 4 on August 5, 2026, exclusively on Apple TV. New episodes will be released weekly on Wednesdays, continuing the tradition of delivering heartfelt comedy that has made the series a standout hit.

With a new direction focusing on coaching a women’s soccer team, the return of beloved characters, and exciting new additions to the cast, season 4 of Ted Lasso promises to bring more inspiring moments, laughs, and emotional growth. As the story expands its horizon, audiences can anticipate the familiar warmth and wit that have defined the show since its debut.

Stay tuned for the upcoming episodes to see how Ted and his team navigate these new challenges and what surprises lie ahead in Richmond’s football future.
