Ted Lasso Season 4: Jason Sudeikis Returns to Coach Women's Team, Set for Summer 2026 on Apple TV+
January 28, 2026
Apple TV+ has targeted a Summer 2026 release for season 4, though a precise date has not been announced.
Jack Burditt joins as an executive producer, signaling an expanded creative team under Apple TV+ and Warner Bros. TV collaboration.
A first look confirms Ted Lasso is returning for season 4 to coach a second-division women’s team, with Jason Sudeikis back in the title role and a revamped supporting staff including Beard and a new assistant coach played by Tanya Reynolds, plus Mae running The Crown & Anchor pub.
Fans were divided by Season 3’s pacing and rushed character arcs, raising questions about re-opening a narrative some felt had concluded with the finale.”
There is no full trailer yet, with only a brief production teaser released prior to the first-look images.
Earlier remarks suggested the core story might be complete after Season 3, though spin-offs and expanded universe explorations were contemplated.
In May 2023, Sudeikis indicated three seasons were conceived with potential for spin-offs but no immediate plans for more seasons at that time.
Season 3 received mixed reviews from outlets like NME, but the series has earned multiple awards, including Golden Globes and Primetime Emmys.
Fandom values memorable quotes from the show, such as ‘Be curious, not judgmental,’ ‘Goldfish is the happiest animal,’ and ‘I’m me, why would I want to be anything else?’
Production visuals continue to tie the series to Richmond while introducing a new team, with visible cues like the Richmond plane in promotional images.
The World Cup timing in June is noted as contextual for the midyear premiere.
Season 4 hints at Keeley’s interest in running a women’s team and maintains Rebecca’s involvement with AFC Richmond.
