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.

The Manual Library: 10 action franchises to pass the cold weekends
Cross

Guys need to read more. Every time I start doomscrolling on TikTok or Instagram, the BookTok world is almost exclusively curated for women. That is why we need to start pushing our love for the bang-bang shoot-’em-ups. The debonair spy. The man on his own, cut off from all help, with only his skills and his wits to help him overcome the obstacles between him and his mission. As men, we love these escapes from the mundane lives and diving into the hero fantasy we all have. When women talk about the mental load they carry every day, men are usually creating our own mental load with safety and security: “What would I do if someone attacked from here? Or there?” Really, what we’re asking is, “What would Jason Bourne do?”

I tend to live in this place in my head when I need to escape from the world, but it is more fun to read about it. As the weather begins to turn and our evenings and weekends are colder and darker, we need something to occupy our time to get us from now until we can escape to the great outdoors in the spring. Here are some action and adventure book recommendations to get your heart going and quench that hero fantasy without doing anything dangerous.

5 lessons the military teaches you that you don’t learn in school
Saving Private Ryan

This is not a knock on public school. I went to public school. I liked public school. There is a system of life training built into the social fabric of school where we learn a lot about ourselves and the lives we are about to live. But the truth is we don’t learn a lot about life from the actual curriculum in the classroom. We learn that Paul Revere rode through the streets to alarm everyone that the British were coming. We learned that A squared plus B squared equals C squared. We even learned what an electron is. But there are precious little practical life lessons you can take with you. For me, I picked a lot of those through movies (a lot of parents are shaking their heads right now, but don’t knock it completely; there is a lot you can learn from movie perspectives) and my time in the United States Army.

The military teaches you a ton of practical life skills that will elevate your life when applied to your day-to-day. Here are five of them with a couple bonuses at the end.

Coffee is for closers: How Blake from Glengarry Glen Ross’s iconic scene teaches you more than sales
Alec Baldwin

There are moments in movies that stand the test of time. They are the first thing we think of when someone uses a turn of phrase or references something that sends your brain down the rabbit hole of movie quotes. These become cultural stalwarts and embed themselves into the very collective consciousness of our society. Some become known for certain industries. Wanna know what law enforcement is like? Check out Training Day or End of Watch. Wanna know what being a firefighter is like? Press play on Backdraft. How about military life? Full Metal Jacket, Jarhead, or Officer and a Gentleman. Want realism? Don’t watch any of them. But what about sales? There are a dozen movies that can teach you how to sell. Boiler Room. The Wolf of Wall Street. But none of them are as iconic as Glengarry Glen Ross. In fact, one scene in that movie every salesman should watch. Blake’s 8-minute tongue-lashing at the office underachievers.

Alec Baldwin took less than ten minutes to cement himself in the lexicon of sales mentors. Walking into the office, he looks at Ed Harris, Jack Lemmon, and Alan Alda and rips them to shreds when one pours himself some coffee.
