Confirmation of ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4: What Fans Need to Know

Absolutely, Apple TV+ has officially confirmed that season 4 of Ted Lasso has been greenlit, and filming began in July 2025. Fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the story of Ted and his friends will continue, bringing more heartfelt moments and laughter to the screen. This new season promises to dive deeper into the characters’ lives and explore fresh narratives that resonate with viewers.

Jason, who was one of the creative forces behind the series alongside Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, and Bill Lawrence, is set to reprise his iconic role as Ted Lasso. In addition to acting, he will also take on the responsibilities of an executive producer, ensuring the continuation of the show’s signature humor and heartwarming storytelling. Fans can look forward to seeing how Ted navigates new challenges in his life as he continues to inspire those around him.

In a statement about the upcoming season, Sudeikis expressed his excitement by saying, “We all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap.” He added, “In season 4, 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.” This sentiment reflects the show’s core theme of embracing the unexpected and finding joy in the journey.

Reflecting on the series’ trajectory, back in August 2023, Declan Lowney, who has directed several episodes of Ted Lasso, commented to The Hollywood Reporter that the show was concluded—“for now.” His remarks highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the show’s future, suggesting that while season 3 felt like an ending, it left the door open for more stories to be told.

“Everybody knew it was the end, but it’s also the end for now,” Lowney stated about the season 3 finale. He elaborated, “It’s going to be two or three years before anything happens — if anything happens — so let’s try and tie up all these stories properly.” This careful consideration showcases the dedication of the creative team to provide a satisfying narrative conclusion while allowing for potential future exploration.

The Ted Lasso team previously indicated that the show was likely to wrap up after season 3. In June 2021, Sudeikis suggested to Entertainment Weekly that there would be no Ted Lasso season 4. He mentioned, “The story that’s being told – that three-season arc – is one that I see, know, and understood. I’m glad that they are willing to pay for those three seasons. As far as what happens after that, who knows? I don’t know.” His thoughts reflected a commitment to a defined narrative structure, which resonated with fans.

In the same interview, Hunt emphasized that Ted Lasso was “always meant to be three seasons.” He added, “It would be pretty cool if, in the face of how much everyone likes this show, that we stick to our guns and really just do three seasons. But even as committed to that idea as Jason may have been, none of us were prepared to the degree to which people love this show. I will say that, whatever he [Jason] decides, I will happily abide.” This candidness showcases the genuine bond between the creators and the audience.

Brett Goldstein, who portrays the beloved character Roy Kent, shared in a 2022 interview with Sunday Times that season 3 of Ted Lasso was written as the series finale. “It was planned as three,” he affirmed, indicating a clear vision for the show’s narrative arc.

However, everything changed in 2024 when Deadline reported that Hannah Waddingham, Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift were officially returning for a fourth season. This announcement sparked excitement among the fanbase, as it indicated that Apple TV+ would need to negotiate with other cast members whose SAG-AFTRA contracts were due to expire, adding an intriguing layer to the show’s production logistics.

Projected Release Date for ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 4: What Fans Can Expect

Currently, there is no confirmed release date for season 4 of Ted Lasso. However, if filming wraps up sometime in 2025, it’s anticipated that Apple TV+ could potentially release the season in 2026. Fans are eagerly awaiting official announcements regarding the premiere date, as they wish to once again immerse themselves in the uplifting and humorous world of Ted Lasso and his friends.

Key Events from the Emotional Finale of ‘Ted Lasso’ Season 3

The season 3 finale of Ted Lasso aired on May 31, 2023, and it served as an emotionally charged conclusion to the series. The long-awaited showdown between AFC Richmond and West Ham finally took place, resulting in a triumphant victory for Richmond! They ultimately secured the second position in the league, following Manchester City. In a dramatic turn, Jamie and Roy nearly came to blows over Keeley, who ultimately chooses to prioritize herself over both of them. Meanwhile, Roy is appointed as the new manager of AFC Richmond and begins therapy with Dr. Sharon, showcasing personal growth.

As Ted makes the difficult decision to return to America to reconnect with his ex-wife Michelle and their son Henry, Beard changes his mind about leaving with Ted and opts to stay in London to marry Jane. In Ted’s absence, Beard, Roy, and Nate take charge of leading the team. Furthermore, Rebecca sells 49% of the club shares to the fans, reflecting her commitment to the community. After a heartfelt farewell with Ted at the airport, she reunites with the Dutchman she met in Amsterdam, who works as a pilot. Additionally, Keeley proposes the idea of establishing a women’s team for Richmond, further expanding the club’s legacy.

Before his departure, Trent alters the title of his book from The Lasso Way to The Richmond Way, symbolizing the evolution of the team’s story. Ted returns to America, taking on the role of coach for Henry’s soccer team, and imparts valuable wisdom to his son, fulfilling his goal of prioritizing family above all else, which resonates deeply with the show’s themes of love and connection.

Exploring Potential Spinoffs from the ‘Ted Lasso’ Universe

For fans of Ted Lasso, the good news is that Jason Sudeikis appears enthusiastic about the possibility of spinoffs centered around some of the show’s beloved characters. This could pave the way for further exploration of the stories of Hannah’s character Rebecca, Juno Temple’s Keeley, and others, allowing audiences to dive deeper into their journeys.

“Yeah, I think that we’ve set the table for all sorts of folks…to get to watch the further telling of these stories,” Jason shared with Deadline regarding potential Ted Lasso spinoffs. “Again, I can’t help but take the question as flattery for what all of us that were working on the show have tried to do.” This sentiment reflects the strong connection between the creators and their audience, showcasing how the characters have resonated beyond the original series.

Brendan also hinted at the possibility of spinoffs, stating to Yahoo Canada that “everything is on the table” concerning the future of the show. He elaborated, “I can also say, we’re not going to decide anytime soon,” indicating that the creative team plans to take their time in exploring the next steps. “We’re going to let this thing land, we’re all going to go our separate ways for a little bit. We’re going to reintroduce ourselves to the local institutions of our neighborhoods and communities that we have been so neglectful of these past few years. After that all settles down, then we’ll come back together and we’ll figure out what’s going to happen next, if anything.”

Nick Mohammed, who plays the character Nate Shelley, confirmed that he is open to a spinoff. “I feel like the writers were really open at the start and said that in their heads they’d mapped out three-season arcs,” he shared with Entertainment Weekly. “But that doesn’t mean that it definitely has to come to an end. There’s no reason why it couldn’t continue. So, we’ll see. I hope there’s more, but who knows.” His comments reflect the enthusiasm of the cast for continuing the stories of their characters.

Several cast members from Ted Lasso have even pitched their own ideas for spinoffs to The Daily Beast. For instance, Jeremy Swift, who portrays Leslie Higgins, expressed interest in a murder mystery spinoff titled “Higgins and Beard detective agency,” where Beard is secretly corrupt. Meanwhile, James Lance proposed a spinoff centered around his character Trent Crimm. Additionally, Cristo Fernandez mentioned that while he thinks a spinoff for his character Dani Rojas “would be cool,” he’d prefer to see a new show featuring Roy’s niece Phoebe, highlighting the diverse creative ideas stemming from the show’s universe.
