Ted Lasso Is Officially Returning for a Fourth Season!
Today, Apple TV+ announced that the global phenomenon Ted Lasso is officially returning to the football pitch for a fourth season that will reunite the team behind the history-making, multi-Emmy Award-winning comedy series, with Jason Sudeikis reprising his award-winning role as the celebrated coach Ted Lasso.
“As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’” said star and executive producer Sudeikis, “in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be.”
“‘Ted Lasso’ has been nothing short of a juggernaut, inspiring a passionate fanbase all over the world, and delivering endless joy and laughter, all while spreading kindness, compassion and unwavering belief,” said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+.
“Everyone at Apple is thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Jason and the brilliant creative minds behind this show.”
In a new episode of Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, Jason Sudeikis says that they are currently writing the fourth season and that Ted Lasso will coach a women’s team in the new episodes.
Ted Lasso season four adds Emmy Award winner Jack Burditt (Nobody Wants This, Modern Family, 30 Rock) as executive producer under a new overall deal with Apple TV+. Sudeikis stars and executive produces alongside Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly, Jane Becker, Jamie Lee and Bill Wrubel.
Brett Goldstein serves as writer and executive producer alongside Leanne Bowen. Sarah Walker and Phoebe Walsh will serve as writers and producers for season four, and Sasha Garron co-produces.
Julia Lindon will write for season four, and Dylan Marron will serve as story editor. Bill Lawrence executive produces via his Doozer Productions, in association with Warner Bros. Television and Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal Content.
Doozer’s Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer also serve as executive producers. Sudeikis, Lawrence, Kelly, and Hunt developed the series, which is based on the preexisting format and characters from NBC Sports.
After its global debut on Apple TV+, Ted Lasso broke records and quickly earned praise and acclaim. Season one became the most Emmy-nominated comedy series in its first season and landed rare back-to-back Outstanding Comedy Series Emmys for its first two seasons on air.
