July 21, 2025
Season 4 will explore Ted coaching a second division women's football team at AFC Richmond, emphasizing themes of taking chances and personal growth, following the conclusion of season 3 where Ted returned to Kansas.
Apple TV+ is gearing up for the highly anticipated fourth season of 'Ted Lasso,' with filming already underway and a premiere expected in 2026.
The new season will see the return of the main cast, including Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift, all signed on for three-year contracts, hinting at an extended series run.
Notably, the character of Ted's son, Henry, will be recast with Grant Feely taking over the role, and new cast members such as Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsey, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, and Abbie Hern are joining the series.
Production updates include a first-look photo shared on X showing the cast together in a diner, with filming expected to continue through summer and fall, though specific plot details remain under wraps.
The series was originally envisioned as a three-season story, but with the current contracts and production momentum, there is speculation it could extend up to six seasons.
Additional executive producers, including Jack Burditt from '30 Rock,' have joined the team, promising a robust production effort for the upcoming season.
Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes content and updates as the series prepares for its return, with a focus on themes of challenge and growth, echoing Sudeikis's emphasis on 'leap before they look.'
The series continues to blend humor with heartfelt storytelling, with expectations to balance comedy and reduce some of the excesses from season 3.
The show has been critically acclaimed since its debut in 2020, winning multiple Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, and has significantly contributed to Apple's streaming success.
