Revealed: How to get more lines in Ted Lasso from Jason Sudeikis as Kola Bokkinni waits on green light to bring AFC Richmond captain Isaac McAdoo back for season four

The third series of the award-winning production came to a close in May 2023. Lasso returned to his native United States from an eventful spell coaching in England and an obvious end to an emotional and action-packed tale appeared to have been reached.

Rumours have, however, been raging for several weeks regarding a return to the small screen for Ted Lasso. Pre-production is said to have been lined up for early 2025, with title character and show writer Sudeikis reportedly “excited” to get back to work.

Bokinni, who plays AFC Richmond captain Isaac McAdoo, will be among those hoping for a call to rejoin the cast. He has mastered the art of securing more air time, telling The Book of Man of how the show works: “I had to develop the character of Isaac while shooting. That’s the kind of thing that Jason Sudeikis brings, that thinking on your feet improvisation side to it, where you know he wants you to add to what’s there. And if it’s good, it’s gonna be in there. It’s very organic. It’s a unique situation where we were acting with the writers, so it’s like, the better you are, the more they will write for you.”

Several leading characters have aired their delight at hearing of Ted Lasso’s supposedly imminent return – along with prominent figures at Warner Bros – and it would appear as though more stories from Nelson Road Stadium are on the way.
