Apple TV+ has confirmed that Ted Lasso will return for its fourth season this summer, unveiling the news with a batch of first-look images shared on Instagram. Apple TV+ wrote in its announcement: “You better believe it. Ted Lasso returns this summer.”
The hit series continues to follow Ted’s unlikely journey from American football coach to English soccer manager—this time with a new team, a fresh challenge, and the same trademark optimism that made the show a global favorite. “In season four, Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team,” the official description reads. “Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”
Season 4 follows the events of the Season 3 finale, which saw Ted leave AFC Richmond and return to Kansas to be closer to his son. Deadline revealed last year that the new season picks up in Kansas before shifting back to London, with Ted’s son Henry—now played by Grant Feely—joining him for part of the journey. Production began last July in Kansas City, the hometown of both Jason Sudeikis and his character, and is now continuing overseas.
Among the newly released images is a shot of Sudeikis facing off with Hannah Waddingham on a runway, a small plane visible behind them. Another shows Ted sharing a quiet moment with Henry in a pub as Annette Badland approaches. Additional photos feature Sudeikis alongside Tanya Reynolds, who joins the cast this season.
Returning cast members include Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift, and others, with new additions such as Jude Mack, Faye Marsey, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, Abbie Hern, and Feely rounding out the ensemble.
