Warner Bros. Television has confirmed that the fan-favorite Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso will be returning for a fourth season, as they have secured options for three key cast members: Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift. This news signals that the game is on for more heartwarming and hilarious episodes of the beloved soccer comedy.
According to Deadline, negotiations are underway to secure new deals for co-creators and executive producers Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt, as well as actress Juno Temple. Unfortunately, actor Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt, may have limited availability due to commitments on other projects.

After the mixed reviews of season three in May 2023, Apple and Warner Bros. expressed their desire to continue the series, pending Sudeikis’ approval. With Sudeikis now on board, speculation is swirling about the direction the new season will take. Some industry insiders, like Matthew Belloni from The Town podcast, believe that the focus may shift to a women’s team with Ted making guest appearances to lend his expertise.
This renewal is not only exciting for fans but also a major win for Apple, as Ted Lasso remains a top performer for the streaming service. Despite wrapping up over a year ago, the show continues to capture audiences and maintain a strong presence in their lineup.
