Ted Lasso season 4 is coming: Here’s everything we know so far

Apple TV+ has been on a comedy hot streak this year. But the TV+ comedy that will always live on in our hearts and minds—Ted Lasso—is currently preparing a new season. Here’s everything we know about Ted Lasso season 4.

Season 4 is finally official, and shooting now

Questions about Ted Lasso’s fourth season have abounded since all the way back when season 3 was airing.

Especially over the past six months, though, there’s been abundant evidence that the show would make a season 4 return. From teases by execs, series stars, and the co-creator Bill Lawrence, to cast contract renewals, production being officially scheduled, and more.

Finally though, in March 2025 Apple made it official.

Production kicked off in July 2025 in Kansas City, revealing some familiar faces at a BBQ restaurant—perhaps the place where Ted gets recruited to come back to Richmond.

Cast members and creative team for new season

The vast majority of the Ted Lasso cast is expected to return for season 4. Which is great news since the show’s ensemble is a core strength.

Some of the Richmond players are expected to appear less often, however, returning for guest appearances rather than being series regulars.

There’s also a particularly noteworthy addition to the creative team for Ted Lasso’s new season.

As highlighted in Apple’s announcement press release, Jack Burditt (Nobody Wants This, Modern Family, 30 Rock) has signed on as executive producer. He’s apparently helping Sudeikis lead the writers’ room, which is exciting considering Burditt’s strong track record and some of the issues that plagued season 3.

Jason Sudeikis is back, but maybe with reduced role

The man behind the mustache, Jason Sudeikis, might not have quite as big a presence in Ted Lasso’s new season.

Matt Belloni on his podcast The Town said that, based on what he’s heard, Sudeikis won’t be present for the entirety of the new season.

Whether this turns out to be true or not, I still expect we’ll see plenty of Ted in season 4. Just perhaps not as much as before.

This wouldn’t altogether be surprising, since Lasso already stepped back a little in season 3 to give the strong ensemble more time to shine. Season 4 could follow the same approach.

Season 4 will feature AFC Richmond’s first women’s team

As first reported by Sigmund Judge, one major narrative thread of the new season will be the formation of AFC Richmond’s women’s team.

Jason Sudeikis confirmed this on a recent podcast appearance:

It’s very likely that the men’s team will still be a regular part of the show, but Richmond will also seek to expand its offerings by adding a women’s team for the first time.

When to expect season 4 on Apple TV+

Production on Ted Lasso season 4 kicked off this summer. That said, there are still a lot of unknowns that make it difficult to pin down a tentative Apple TV+ debut date.

Unless there are major unexpected disruptions or delays, season 4 will likely arrive some time in 2026—perhaps as early as during the summer.

Apple TV+ is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, Silo, and Shrinking.
