Three years later, the mustache, the optimism, and the chaos are back with a whole new team to coach.
We Learn Goodbye Wasn’t the End, Just a Setup
Get your whistles ready because Ted Lasso is officially back, and it already feels like coming home.
When we last saw Ted Lasso, he was walking away from AFC Richmond and heading back to Kansas City to be with his son. Season 3 (which aired in 2023) was framed as the end of the story, something even Jason Sudeikis confirmed at the time. And honestly, it felt like a finale. Emotional closure, character growth, the whole “we did what we came here to do” energy.
But the show left one very intentional door cracked open.
While Ted exited, Richmond didn’t stop. Rebecca Welton and Keeley Jones floated the idea of launching a women’s team. Something that felt like a throwaway moment then, but now? It's the entire engine of Season 4.
And let’s be real, the world could use Ted Lasso-level optimism again.
Behind the scenes… new faces, missing pieces, and a bigger playbook.
Season 4 isn’t just a continuation, it’s a bit of a remix.
Yes, Jason Sudeikis is back leading the charge, but there’s also fresh creative energy behind the scenes. Emmy-winning producer Jack Burditt (known for Modern Family and 30 Rock) joins as an executive producer, signaling that the show is expanding its voice while keeping its heart intact.
Fan favorites like:
Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca)
Juno Temple (Keeley)
Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent)
Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard)
Yes, they are still central to the story, but not everyone is confirmed to return. Notably, Nick Mohammed (Nate) and Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) haven’t been officially announced, which feels suspicious.
Translation: the DNA is the same, but the lineup might look a little different.
What to Expect… A New Team, A Familiar Coach, and One Very Ted Motto
The trailer wastes zero time reminding you why this show works.
Set to “Rubber Band Man” by Mumford & Sons, we see Ted back in Richmond, only this time, he’s not coaching the men’s team. Instead, he’s stepping into something completely new: a second division women’s football team.
It feels perfect.
Because if there’s one thing Ted Lasso does best, it’s turning underestimated groups into something unstoppable.
The teaser leans into all the hits:
Warm reunions between Ted and Rebecca
Keeley and Roy are back in our shipping orbit
That signature mix of humor and sincerity that somehow still lands
And of course, since he can't help himself, Ted introduces a new phrase:
“ASAP PP” = As Soon As Possible, Pretty Please.
Mark Your Calendar: Season 4 of Ted Lasso premieres August 5 on Apple TV.
