What is Ted Lasso About?

Ted Lasso premiered in 2020. It follows the journey of a quirky American football coach who relocates to England to manage a professional soccer team despite lacking knowledge of the sport. The series quickly gained a dedicated fanbase and won 13 Emmy Awards. Season three concluded in May 2023.

Which Actors are Returning to the show?

As confirmed by Warner Bros. Television, Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) have signed new contracts to return for season four of Ted Lasso. 

The studio is expected to reach out to other cast members, including Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso), Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard), and Juno Temple (Keeley Jones), to discuss their return. 

However, Phil Dunster (Jamie Tartt) may not be back due to scheduling conflicts with other projects. While several original stars are on board, the fourth season has not yet been officially confirmed, with factors like scheduling and budget still in play.

Is There a Trailer for Ted Lasso Season 4?

No trailer has been released yet, but we’ll update this section as soon as one becomes available.

Will Jason Sudeikis Return in Season 4 of Ted Lasso?

Jason Sudeikis is expected to return as an executive producer for the new season, although his specific role has not been officially confirmed. According to Variety, Sudeikis, who portrayed Lasso, is believed to be involved in the revival in some capacity. Deadline also reported that the actor and co-creator is on board for the new installment, stating that the studio wouldn’t have moved forward without his approval.

In 2023, Sudeikis mentioned to Deadline that season three marked "the end of this story that we wanted to tell," but he expressed openness to spinoffs. He noted, "Yeah, I think that we’ve set the table for all sorts of folks…to get to watch the further telling of these stories.”

How did Season 3 of Ted Lasso end?

The third season concluded with Ted returning to America to be with his son Henry, while Coach Beard chose to remain in the UK, marrying Jane at Stonehenge. Rebecca had warned Ted that if he left, she would sell the club. Ultimately, however, she opted to sell 49 percent of the club to its fans. Roy stepped up as the new manager of AFC Richmond, with Coach Beard and Nate as part of the coaching staff. The finale hinted at a possible spinoff when Keeley presented Rebecca with a binder for an AFC Richmond women’s team, sparkling smiles and cheers between them.

How many Seasons of Ted Lasso were Planned?

Ahead of the Ted Lasso season three premiere in 2023, Sudeikis revealed to Deadline that he and fellow developers Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Joe Kelly initially envisioned the series lasting three seasons. "This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell, that we were hoping to tell, that we loved to tell," Jason stated.

Will Ted Lasso have any Spinoffs?

The conclusion of Ted Lasso season three hints at a potential spinoff featuring Keeley Jones. In the finale, Keeley proposes to Rebecca the idea of establishing a women's team for A.F.C. Richmond. With women’s football gaining traction in the U.K., particularly following the England women’s national team—known as the Lionesses—winning the UEFA European Women’s Championship in 2022, a spinoff focusing on Richmond's women's team could serve as a fitting spiritual successor to the original series.
