The acclaimed Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso is gearing up for its fourth season, with filming scheduled to commence in July 2025. This development follows months of speculation and anticipation among fans and industry insiders.
Hannah Waddingham, who portrays Rebecca Walton, confirmed the upcoming production schedule. She expressed enthusiasm about the return, highlighting the exceptional talent of the writing team. Our writers are literally Jedi Knights. They’re just incredible, Waddingham remarked. She also noted the inclusive and feminist approach of the writing staff, emphasizing the beautifully crafted scripts.
The journey toward this new season began in August 2024 when Warner Bros. Television exercised contract options for key cast members, including Waddingham, Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins). This move signaled potential plans for continuation but did not serve as an official confirmation.
In October 2024, reports emerged suggesting that filming would commence in early 2025. At that time, Jason Sudeikis’s involvement remained uncertain. However, in March 2025, Sudeikis confirmed his return during an interview on the New Heights podcast. He revealed that the upcoming season would focus on Ted Lasso coaching a women’s soccer team, a storyline hinted at in the series’ third-season finale.
Following Sudeikis’s announcement, Apple officially confirmed the fourth season. Other principal cast members, including Brett Goldstein, Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), and Jeremy Swift, are set to reprise their roles. While a specific release date has not been announced, the series is anticipated to return in late 2025 or early 2026.
The shift in focus to a women’s soccer team reflects the series’ commitment to exploring new narratives within the sports comedy genre. Fans eagerly await the continuation of the Ted Lasso story, anticipating the same heartwarming and humorous storytelling that has characterized the show since its debut.
