The whistle’s about to blow again on the pitch that stole hearts worldwide. After a two-year hiatus that left fans chanting “Believe” into the void, Ted Lasso is lacing up for Season 4. This Apple TV+ gem, born from Jason Sudeikis’s infectious optimism, turned a fish-out-of-water comedy into a cultural juggernaut—sweeping Emmys, sparking endless memes, and reminding everyone that kindness scores goals too. Picture this: a cozy Kansas City diner where old friends reunite over ribs, laughter echoing like a last-minute equalizer. That’s the vibe kicking off the new chapter, blending heartfelt callbacks with fresh challenges. Buckle up as the Greyhounds gear up for their boldest run yet.
When Will Ted Lasso Season 4 Drop?
Patience has been the real MVP since that gut-punch Season 3 finale in May 2023. Whispers turned to roars when Apple TV+ greenlit the revival in March 2025, but no one’s rushing the magic. Cameras rolled on July 21, 2025, starting stateside in Sudeikis’s hometown of Kansas City before jetting to London hotspots like Richmond and the Savoy Pier. Post-production’s humming along, pointing to a mid-to-late 2026 premiere—think spring or summer, when the sun’s high and soccer fever peaks.
Why the wait? Filming’s wrapping soon, but editing these feel-good epics takes time to nail the emotional volleys. Hannah Waddingham nailed it, calling the comeback a “beautiful resurrection.” Fans, grab your biscuits—episodes will stream exclusively on Apple TV+, dropping weekly to savor every underdog triumph.
The Squad Assembles: Who’s Back, Who’s Out, and Fresh Faces Joining the Fray
Nothing tugs at the heartstrings like seeing the gang together, and Season 4 delivers a reunion photo worth framing. Jason Sudeikis slips back into Ted’s mustache and sneakers, mustache twitching with that unbreakable grin. Hannah Waddingham’s Rebecca Welton struts as the club’s fierce owner, Juno Temple’s Keeley Jones brings her sparkling chaos, Brett Goldstein’s Roy Kent growls through reluctant growth, Brendan Hunt’s Coach Beard mutters enigmatic wisdom, and Jeremy Swift’s Leslie Higgins ties it all with awkward charm.
Heartbreaks abound, though. Phil Dunster’s cocky Jamie Tartt sits this one out, tied up in other gigs like The Devil’s Hour and Surface. Nick Mohammed’s Nate Shelley? His fate’s a coy “wait and see,” but early buzz hints at cameos over full arcs. Sarah Niles’s Dr. Sharon and Toheeb Jimoh’s Sam Obisanya hover in maybe-territory, their arcs evolving off-pitch. It’s a bittersweet pivot, echoing life’s own goodbyes, but the core crew’s locked in with three-year deals, fueling hopes for more seasons.
Enter the new blood, injecting energy like a surprise counterattack. Grant Feely steps up as Henry Lasso, Ted’s son—aging him up from Gus Turner’s portrayal for teen angst and father-son bonding. Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education), Faye Marsay (Andor), Jude Mack (Back in Action), Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey (Jurassic World: Dominion), and Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane) join as series regulars, likely suiting up as the women’s team players. Their roles stay shrouded, but expect sparks—rivals, allies, maybe a breakout star stealing scenes like Goldstein did back in Season 1.
Behind the scenes, Jack Burditt (Modern Family) hops on as executive producer, alongside writers like Sara Walker and Phoebe Walsh. Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Joe Kelly, and Hunt helm the vision, ensuring the soul stays pure.
What To Expect In Ted Lasso Season 4?
Season 3’s finale? A masterstroke—Ted heading home to Kansas, Rebecca greenlighting a women’s team, the Greyhounds charging into the Champions League. Season 4 grabs that baton and sprints, flipping the script with Ted’s “biggest challenge yet: coaching a second-division women’s football team.” No full spoilers here, but the logline pulses with promise: “Leap before you look.” In a world of calculated risks, the Richmond crew dives headfirst, landing exactly where fate intended.
Imagine Ted, post-diner recruitment, rebuilding from the ground up. Ribs and recruitment in Kansas City set the stage, pulling him back across the pond. Rebecca champions the launch, blending boss moves with personal reckonings. Keeley hustles PR magic, Roy mentors with his signature gruff heart, and Beard deciphers tactics over pints. New players bring rivalries and revelations, while Henry tags along for growth spurts and goal-line stands.
Crossovers tease U.S.-U.K. vibes—maybe Ted’s ex Michelle pops in, or Nate’s redemption simmers on the sidelines. Themes? Bold risks, team evolution, and that Lasso ethos: vulnerability wins. Sudeikis called it “exciting and daunting,” a nod to the women’s game spotlighting real-world growth. No trailers yet, but that first-look photo— the gang mid-meal, “Believe” sign glowing—screams homecoming.
