Ted Lasso Season 4: Emmy-Winning Series Makes Its Highly Anticipated Return

The Beloved Comedy Returns to Production

After leaving fans wondering whether the story of AFC Richmond had truly reached its conclusion, Ted Lasso has been officially greenlit for a fourth season. Filming started early in the summer of 2025, bringing joy to viewers who have followed the heartwarming journey of the optimistic American football coach turned English soccer manager since the show’s 2020 debut.

Original cast members Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift will all be back, alongside creator and star Jason Sudeikis. Production on season four began in July 2025, with some filming locations being scouted in Blue Springs, Missouri and other locations in the Kansas City metropolitan area, starting with a photo of the main cast at Gates, a Kansas City barbecue restaurant.

What to Expect from Season 4

The new season promises to take the series in an exciting direction. Sudeikis confirmed that scripts for a fourth season were being written and that ‘Ted’s coaching a women’s team’. The season will introduce an entire new host of characters, with Nick Mohammed confirming ‘it’s about a whole different set of characters’, though beloved favourites will still appear.

Release Date and Cultural Impact

The timeline points to a release ahead of the fall 2026 schedule. The series has become a cultural phenomenon, with Ted Lasso nominated for 61 Emmy Awards during its run, winning 13. Its message of optimism and kindness resonated deeply with audiences during challenging times, cementing its place as one of Apple TV+’s most successful original series. As fans eagerly await the return of AFC Richmond, the show continues to demonstrate that belief and positivity never go out of style.
