After plenty of questions about its future, Ted Lasso is back. The Apple TV+ hit seemed to be done following its third season, but production has officially started on the fourth, with much of the cast set to return for this new installment.

Now that we know Ted Lasso is coming back, there are still plenty of questions about what that means for the show, and how it might change moving forward — and everyone has opinions on what they’d like to see from season 4. Here’s what we know so far, including when we might see that fourth season:

Are we sure there will really be another season?

Although we weren’t for a long, Apple announced in March of this year that the show would be back for season 4. Jason Sudeikis will be returning to star and executive produce, and Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, and Brett Goldstein will all be serving as executive producers as well. Goldstein will also be serving as a writer on the new season.

There were months of teasing prior to the confirmation that the show would be back. Even as it seemed like season 3 might be the end of the road, there were already whispers about getting the gang back together, and now they’ve been confirmed.

What is the release date for Ted Lasso season 4?

Ted Lasso doesn’t have a firm release date for its fourth season just yet, but given that the show just started filming, the earliest we can expect it is sometime in 2026. That would put the show a full three years after the last season debuted, which is not unprecedented on Apple TV+, but does speak to how long it can take for some shows to ramp up between seasons.

How did the third season end?

The third season of Ted Lasso seemed like it might be the end of the road for many of the show’s characters, as major storylines got wrapped up. Ted moved back to Kansas City to coach his son’s soccer team, while Roy Kent becomes AFC Richmond’s new general manager and Coach Beard decides to stick around to lend a hand.

Keeley, meanwhile, proposes launching a women’s team at Richmond, and Rebecca bumps into her mystery man from Amsterdam. Although the show did keep the door open on Keeley’s love triangle with Roy and Jamie, so not every story got wrapped up in a neat little bow.

What is season 4 of Ted Lasso about?

While there’s still plenty we have to learn about the new season, Jason Sudeikis said in the announcement confirming a season 4 that the season would be about finding a place to land for many of the show’s characters. “As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to ‘look before we leap,’ in season 4, 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,” he explained.

The official logline offers a little additional information, explaining that “Ted returns to Richmond, taking on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women’s football team. Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would.”

It seems, then, like Ted will be returning to London, although we know that filming for the new season started in Kansas City. The show confirmed, though, that they would also be filming in London for season 4.

Who is in the cast for season 4?

While we don’t know if every member of the cast from previous seasons will return, we do know that Jason Sudeikis, Juno Temple, Hannah Waddingham, and Leslie Higgins will all be returning for the new season, and are even pictured in a first look photograph. Brett Goldstein and Brendan Hunt will also be returning, which is enough of the core cast that the show will feel roughly the way that it once did.

We also know that Faye Marsay (Andor), Abbie Hern (My Lady Jane), and Tanya Reynolds (Sex Education) are joining the new season, as are Jude Mack (Mickey 17), Aisling Sharkey (Jurassic World Dominion), and fresh face Rex Hayes.

Is there a trailer for Ted Lasso season 4?

The show is still in the early stages of production in July, so it could be some time before we see a trailer. It will likely take several months to film the show, and then the episodes have to be edited. We might see a teaser sometime soon, but our first trailer is likelier to arrive closer to the end of 2025.

Where can I watch Ted Lasso?

The first three seasons of Ted Lasso are available on Apple TV+, and the fourth season will be streamable there whenever it happens to be released into the world.

Sir Ian Fleming had the best work schedule you could ask for while writing James Bond
Clothing, Formal Wear, Suit

As a writer, I tend to work from home a lot. Or I work on the road. I do a fair amount of travel and write about my exploits as I have them. But when someone asks what my usual or typical workday looks like, there is no easy answer. Every day is different. However, I am surprised to find out that I may be doing something wrong here. While my workday is much more enjoyable than it used to be when I was stuck in the scramble of the nine-to-five, it is pretty much a grind when held up to the typical workday of Ian Fleming himself when he was writing his James Bond franchise.

While he was adamant about pumping out 2000 words a day, that workload apparently left him enough time to swim and work up a 007-level thirst during the day.

Making the Cut: The importance of cutting your cigar the right way
Face, Head, Person

The first time I smoked a cigar, I sat at a cigar lounge, letting the sounds of Frank Sinatra wash over me while an expert told me all about the wrap and the tobacco, the technique of smoking (piece of advice: don’t inhale, it hurts), and picking the right cigar. Then I picked up the cutter provided by the lounge and went to snip off the end. As if I was about to kick a puppy, the expert panicked and stopped me from doing the deed. I was about to cut on the cap. What the Hell is a cap? It is the wrapper that tells you which end to cut, and also, you NEVER cut on or below the cap. That is when I realized there is actually a thing here. There is a technique for cutting the cigar. But is it really that important? Actually, it is. It controls the temperature. It affects the flavor. The burn temp. All of this is tied into the cut by controlling the airflow. Well…luckily for me, I have friends over at La Aurora, and John Gaglio helped me out with a little insight.

Think of the cut like ice in a glass of whiskey. Too little dilution, and the pour does not open up in a way that can live up to its complexity. Too much, you’ve drowned the thing you liked about it. – John Gaglio, La Aurora

Tommy Bahama is making après-golf a thing
Face, Happy, Head

You can hear the lifts close; the last of the mountain riders are removing their skis or snowboards and getting ready for the next event of the experience. That is right, the snowsport is only the beginning. Now, you get to get dressed into something a little more comfortable and enjoy the social part of the experience: après-ski. Sometimes it is a huge party. Sometimes it is a quiet time by the fire. But the after event is just as fun as the event itself. But why should skiing have all the glory? Tommy Bahama is seemingly taking that idea to the golf course, albeit unintentionally. No, they are just becoming quite popular with the golf crowd, and that means we’re right up against the time of après-golf becoming a thing. This is more than simply the 19th hole. This is a budding culture shift focused on clothing as much as golf. At least, that’s what I think when I talk to Doug Wood, CEO of Tommy Bahama.

Tommy Bahama is sold in golf-adjacent and golf-friendly shops – and we like it that way. Golf shops traditionally mark their product down and we don’t like product markdowns. – Doug Wood, CEO of Tommy Bahama
