AFC Richmond Fans Rejoice! Ted Lasso Officially Returning For A Fourth Season

Apple TV+ today announced that the global phenomenon Ted Lasso is officially returning back to the football pitch for a fourth season that will reunite the team behind the history-making and multi-Emmy-winning comedy series, with Jason Sudeikis reprising his award-winning role as the celebrated Coach Ted Lasso.

“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,” said star and executive producer Jason Sudeikis in a press release. “In season four, 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.”

‘Ted Lasso’ has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring a ionate fanbase all over the world, and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, comion and unwavering belief,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. “Everyone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show.”

Deadline reported last summer that deals have been closed for  Hannah Waddingham, who plays AFC Richmond owner Rebecca Walton, Brett Goldstein, who plays hardman Roy Kent and Jeremy Swift, who plays Director of Football Operations Leslie Higgins to return, although Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) has not been picked up, possibly due to scheduling conflicts.

The site reports today that a deal for Juno Temple (Keeley) to return is in progress, though no word on Brendan Hunt’s return.
