Report: Start date revealed for Ted Lasso Season 4 as Jason Sudeikis prepares to bring enigmatic American coach & AFC Richmond back to Apple TV+

Speculation regarding a return to the small screen for enigmatic American coach Lasso and AFC Richmond has been raging for some time, with fans desperate to know what happens next after being left hanging at the close of series three in May 2023.

News of Warner Bros taking up options on three prominent characters – those played by Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) – got a global audience excited, with other cast members quick to confirm their availability and willingness to get involved.

There has been no official word from Warner Bros or Apple TV+ on when Ted Lasso could return, with Hollywood star Jason Sudeikis – who plays the title character and is one of the show’s lead writers – needing to be fully on board before anything can happen.

According to the Magic Rays of Light podcast from MacStories, that is now the case. They have claimed on Mastodon: “Exclusive: #TedLasso S4 is set to begin pre-production in January. According to our sources, the football drama is now confirmed to return next year with a fourth instalment, with London shoots beginning in early 2025!”

Lasso left England to return to his native United States at the end of series three, but the door was always being left open for further instalments in an entertaining story that conjures up all kinds of emotions. The Greyhounds may soon be back, allowing everybody to ‘Believe’ once more.
