Some series are just too good to simply end. This is usually reflected in viewing figures or streaming figures, which can lead to these series being continued even though they should actually be discontinued. This could now be the case for a series celebrated by critics and audiences alike: “Ted Lasso.”
The hit series Ted Lasso was supposed to end after season 3. In March 2023, the supposed final season started on Apple TV+, the streaming service that produced it. This also brings the series to a well-rounded conclusion, but the fans’ sadness was still great. Perhaps great enough to get a 4th season after all?
The case for “Ted Lasso” season 4
There are now concrete indications of this. Most recently, lead actor, co-producer, and co-writer Jason Sudeikis made the decision about a possible sequel. But, of course, the production studio Warner Bros. Television also has a say in the matter. And it is precisely here that something seems to be happening.
As the industry magazine “Deadline” reports, three of the previous leading actors have been signed up. Specifically, it’s about Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift. They are under contract with the British union, Equity. Waddingham previously played the owner of the soccer club AFC Richmond in the series. Goldstein took on the role of Roy Kent, and Swift took on the role of Leslie Higgins, the Director of Football Operations.
One of the biggest problems for a potential fourth season of “Ted Lasso” is probably getting the cast back together in its entirety. It is still unclear whether the colleagues from the US union SAG-Aftra will be back on board. There is also the question of what a new season could be about. The series was designed for three seasons from the outset.

This is what the series “Ted Lasso” is about
It is not only fans who are likely to be delighted by this news. After all, it is one of the most successful series of recent years. The character Ted Lasso even appeared in FIFA 23, and the long list of awards the production has won proves its success. Ted Lasso has already won several Emmys, Critics’ Choice Awards, and Golden Globes, including Best Comedy Series. Various cast members, including Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham, have also been honored for their outstanding performances in front of the camera.
Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ tells the story of an American college football coach (Jason Sudeikis). Without any experience, he is asked to take over the Premier League team of the fictitious AFC Richmond, which has sunk into mediocrity. There, he not only has to learn to understand the new sport and the foreign country but, above all, the people around him.
In addition to the likable coach Ted Lasso, the series features many other interesting characters. For example, club owner Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) hires Lasso to plunge the team into chaos – only to discover that his unwavering kindness can achieve more than expected. Ted finds a loyal assistant in Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt). There are also a number of interesting stories among the players, who are initially skeptical.
