Huddle up, Diamond Dogs… Ted Lasso, Coach Beard, and co are back and pre-season is already well underway! Having seemingly waved farewell to Jason Sudeikis’ moustachioed football manager for good with Ted Lasso Season 3 back in 2023, Apple TV officially announced it was bringing back its star signing for a fourth season last March. Since then, we’ve learned that the new season is set to put the spotlight on AFC Richmond’s women’s team, with Ted — back in the dugout and joined by fan favourites and a whole heap of new faces — looking to prove that lightning can strike twice. Check out the trailer below for a teaser of what’s in store;
Okay, okay, okay… we believe. We believe in believe! Even in little more than a minute, there’s plenty to raise eyebrows — and expectations — in this first proper look at Ted Lasso Season 4. Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) and Keely Jones (Juno Temple) are back (and maybe on track to get back together?). Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is loved up and leading from the top once again. The AFC Richmond faithful are in fine fettle calling Ted a wanker on his return, and — most importantly — there’s a whole new team to get to know and love, along with an addition to Ted and Coach Beard’s (Brendan Hunt) technical area. As we glimpse here, Tanya Reynolds is following up eye-catching turns in The Other Bennet Sister and Sex Education with a more central role here, presumably filling in the vacancy left behind by our beloved Nate the Great (Nick Mohammed).
The short but sweet official synopsis for Ted Lasso Season 4, which is also set to bring Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Grant Feely into the sit-com’s fold, reads: “In season four, Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”
Will Ted Lasso make a successful return to the dugout? And will Ted Lasso make a successful return to our screens — especially after such a neatly wrapped up Season 3 finale? Only time will tell. And we don’t have much longer to wait, folks. Ted Lasso Season 4 is officially due to premiere on Apple TV on 5 August, just a couple of weeks after the FIFA World Cup final stateside. *Alexa — play the Ted Lasso theme… YEAHHHHH IT MIGHT BE ALL THAT YOU GETTTT!*
