Overview
- Season 4 premiered on Apple TV on August 5, 2026, and will run as a 10‑episode weekly series through October 7, 2026.
- The plot reset brings Jason Sudeikis’s Ted back from Kansas City to lead AFC Richmond’s newly formed women’s side while his son and ex‑wife relocate to England to join him.
- New principal cast members include Tanya Reynolds, Abbie Hern, Jude Mack and Faye Marsay playing the Lady Greyhounds, who form the season’s central ensemble.
- Several original men’s‑team players did not return, with co‑showrunner Brendan Hunt citing scheduling conflicts and a narrative decision that top former Richmond players would have moved on.
- Early reviews are uneven, with critics and outlets praising the women’s‑team premise and some performances while criticizing predictable plotting, tonal repetition and recycled structural beats, and creators say the show’s longer‑term future will depend on audience response.
