“Ted Lasso has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring a passionate fanbase all over the world, and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, compassion, and unwavering belief. Everyone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show,” Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+, said at the time.

What Is Ted Lasso Season 4 About?
Apple TV+ hasn’t released a detail about the new season’s plot. Jason Sudeikis, though, has shared that Ted Lasso will be coaching a women’s team. He revealed as much on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce.
Here is Sudeikis’ statement from March 2025:
“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap’ in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”
In July 2025, Apple TV+ shared the description for the upcoming season:
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.

Who Is Returning for the New Season?
So far, the only returning cast member is Jason Sudeikis as the titular character. Considering Sudeikis has shared that Ted will be coaching a women’s team, it’s safe to bet that there will be plenty of new cast members joining Ted Lasso‘s fourth season.
As for any original cast members, there have been reports about many – Hannah Waddingham, Jeremy Swift, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, and Brendan Hunt – returning to the series since August 2024.
Additionally, Deadline reported in March 2025 that the series will recast Ted’s son, Henry, played by Gus Turner in the first three seasons. The outlet’s description defines the character as “now 12, has become a skilled soccer player himself,” which suggests there may be a time-jump.
In July 2025, Apple CEO Tim Cook shared a first-look photo of the new season, announcing that Ted Lasso Season 4 started production in Kansas City. The photo featured Sudeikis as the titular character as well as Waddingham as Rebecca Welton, Juno Temple as Keeley Jones, and Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins.
Deadline reported that Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) and Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) would also return. Additionally, the outlet confirmed that Grant Feely would take over the role of Henry Lasso, Ted’s son. Meanwhile, the outlet shared several new cast members with their roles unspecified: Tanya Reynolds, Jude Mack, Faye Marsay, Rex Hayes, Aisling Sharkey, and Abbie Hern.

Who Is the Creative Team Behind Season 4?
The sports comedy’s creative team remains mainly intact from the previous seasons. Sudeikis returns as an executive producer alongside Brendant Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee, and Bill Wrubel. Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Kelly, and Hunt originally developed the series, which is based on the preexisting format and characters from NBC Sports.
Plus, Brett Goldstein and Leann Bowen will continue on Ted Lasso as writers and executive producers. Sarah Walker and Phoebe Walsh will also be writers and producers for Season 4, with Sasha Garron co-producing. Julia Lindon is also a writer on the season, and Dylan Marron is the story editor.
Emmy Award-winner Jack Burditt (Nobody Wants This, Modern Family, 30 Rock) joins Ted Lasso as an executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV+. Meanwhile, Bill Lawrence returns as an executive producer via his Doozer Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal Content. Doozer’s Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer also serve as executive producers.

When Does Ted Lasso Season 4 Premiere?
The season has no premiere date — yet. However, Kansas City TV news station FOX4 has reported that Ted Lasso will be filming in the Kansas City metropolitan area in July. The City of Blue Springs shared the following statement: “We’re thrilled to welcome the cast and crew of Ted Lasso to Blue Springs. Having a show with such a positive and inspiring message film in our city is an exciting opportunity to showcase our community on a global stage.”
This news tracks with Ted Lasso Season 3, Episode 2, “So Long, Farewell,” taking Ted back to Kansas City, leaving AFC Richmond under the coaching staff of Roy Kent, Coach Beard, and Nathan Shelley. Since Sudeikis mentioned “the folks at AFC Richmond” in his initial statement, only time will tell how Ted Lasso Season 4 presumably brings Ted back to the London-based fictional football club.
In July 2025, Apple TV posted a video of the cast filming the new season with the caption, “We’re not in Richmond anymore.” That message seemed to confirm that the sports comedy may continue its The Wizard of Oz parallels whenever it returns. After all, Ted Lasso’s pilot showed Ted saying, “We’re not in Kansas anymore,” when he and Coach Beard explored London.
