Overview
- Season 4 of Ted Lasso will premiere on Aug. 5, 2026, on Apple TV+ and follows Jason Sudeikis’s Ted coaching AFC Richmond’s newly formed second-division women’s football team.
- Jason Sudeikis reversed his decision to end the series after Season 3, saying he initially walked away despite reported seven-figure offers and only returned after reuniting the writers to test a viable new story.
- Jack Burditt was hired as Season 4 showrunner to add production structure, while Bill Lawrence’s Doozer Productions remains attached despite earlier reported tensions during the run-up to Season 3.
- Several original men’s-team actors will not return as series regulars and Sudeikis said he made personal, difficult phone calls to inform them; a core group including Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple and Brendan Hunt do return.
- Producers say Season 4 finished production within budget after scheduling delays, the creative team believes the new episodes recapture earlier ‘magic,’ and writers plan to meet in late August to develop ideas for Seasons 5 and 6 if reception warrants further orders.
