# All We Know About Ted Lasso Season 4
Apple TV+ has had a remarkable year, especially in the realm of comedy, but one show that particularly shines is the cherished series *Ted Lasso*. As fans eagerly look forward to the return of this uplifting series, here’s everything we’ve learned about the forthcoming fourth season.
## Season 4 is Officially Happening
Following the release of season 3, there has been rampant speculation regarding a fourth season. In the last six months, various clues from executives, cast members, and the creative team indicated that a new season was imminent. In March 2025, Apple made the official announcement of *Ted Lasso*’s renewal for a fourth season.
Matt Cherniss, the head of programming at Apple TV+, expressed enthusiasm about the show’s influence, remarking, “*Ted Lasso* has undeniably been a powerhouse, creating a devoted fanbase around the globe and providing endless happiness and laughter, all while promoting kindness, empathy, and steadfast belief.”
## Returning Cast Members and Creative Crew for New Season
Most of the cast is anticipated to reprise their roles for season 4, which is excellent news for fans who value the ensemble’s camaraderie. Several actors have had their contracts extended, while discussions with others continue. Nevertheless, concerns exist about Phil Dunster, who portrays Jamie Tartt, as he may encounter scheduling challenges.
An exciting addition to the creative team is Jack Burditt, recognized for his contributions to *Modern Family* and *30 Rock*, who will function as an executive producer and help lead the writers’ room.
## Jason Sudeikis is Returning, But Perhaps in a Diminished Role
Jason Sudeikis, the lead of the series, might not feature as prominently in the new season. Reports indicate that while many cast members will return, Sudeikis’s role could be lessened. This change could allow other characters to take the lead, similar to season 3 when Lasso stepped back to provide the ensemble more opportunities to shine.
## Season 4 Will Include AFC Richmond’s First Women’s Team
A major storyline in the next season will center on the establishment of AFC Richmond’s women’s team. Jason Sudeikis confirmed this new direction, stating, “We’re currently writing season four; that’s the official update. Ted’s coaching a women’s team.” This new narrative promises to broaden the show’s horizons while retaining a focus on the men’s team.
## Anticipated Release for Season 4 on Apple TV+
Production for season 4 was originally expected to commence in early 2025, but there have been delays. Current updates suggest that filming will begin shortly, although the precise release date remains unclear. It seems improbable that new episodes will debut in 2025, but viewers can look forward to a 2026 release barring any unexpected setbacks.
Apple TV+ is priced at $9.99 per month and offers a range of popular shows, including *Ted Lasso*, *Severance*, *The Morning Show*, *Silo*, and *Shrinking*.
## Final Thoughts
As excitement builds for *Ted Lasso* season 4, fans can anticipate familiar faces, fresh storylines, and the ongoing exploration of themes that have solidified the show as a cultural sensation. With an emphasis on inclusivity and character growth, the upcoming season is set to provide the warmth and humor that audiences have come to cherish.
