Three years and change after Ted Lasso wrapped its third season, the Emmy-winning comedy will step back on the pitch.
Apple TV announced Tuesday that the show’s fourth season will premiere Aug. 5, with the title character (Jason Sudeikis) returning to London to coach AFC Richmond’s women’s team. The streamer also released a new image from the coming season and a teaser scored to “Rubber Band Man” by Mumford & Sons and Hozier.
The teaser shows Ted getting back into the swing of things in London, the Richmond women in action and a few glimpses at the returning and new cast. Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt and Jeremy Swift reprise their roles from prior seasons alongside new series regulars Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern and Grant Feely. The teaser also shows Andrea Anders as Ted’s (maybe no longer?) ex-wife, Michelle; Matteo van der Grijn as Matthijs, the Dutchman Rebecca (Waddingham) fell for in season three; and Tracey Ullman in an as yet undisclosed guest role. Watch it below.
Apple TV ordered a fourth season of Ted Lasso in March 2025, ending a long round of speculation about the show’s future after 2023’s season three closed out the story of Ted coaching the Richmond men’s side. In January, Apple said the show would return in the summer.
The 10-episode fourth season will see Ted “taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team,” the logline reads. “Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”
Jack Burditt, who has an overall deal with Apple TV, executive produces season four with Sudeikis, Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, Bill Wrubel, Goldstein, Leann Bowen, Bill Lawrence, Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer. Goldstein and Bowen are also writers; Sarah Walker and Phoebe Walsh are writers and producers. Sasha Garron co-produces. Julia Lindon is a writer on season four, and Dylan Marron is story editor. Warner Bros. TV and Universal TV produce the series.
