Ted Lasso fans told they’re ‘gonna love’ Season 4 of hit show as Jason Sudeikis moves American coach into the women’s game

From the moment that rumours of a comeback for the Apple TV+ production began to surface there was talk of a “reboot” taking place. Jason Sudeikis has confirmed that, as the leading man and part of the writing team, he will be taking things in a different direction.

New characters and storylines are being promised, with Lasso having headed home to the United States at the end of Season 3 on the back of an eventful spell in England with AFC Richmond.

Filming is due to begin this summer, with many familiar faces on board, and viewers have been promised an “exciting” script that may yet see the show run for several more series.

Apple TV’s head of development Matt Cherniss is giving little away, but has told Deadline: “I have high hopes for season four of Ted Lasso, we’re just getting down that road. I don’t know what more can be said about Ted Lasso that hasn’t already been said, and we’re so excited that it’s coming back.”

He added when asked if the show will be reinventing itself: “I don’t think I want to say anything about the direction that the show is going, only that I think if you love Ted Lasso you’re gonna love the next season.”

No release date for Season 4 of Ted Lasso has been revealed as yet, with a return to streaming services around the world seemingly some way off. Excitement is building, though, around a production that has already collected prestigious Emmy Awards.
