Ted Lasso Season 4 debuts; Season 5 in development

Overview

Apple TV+ launched the fourth season of *Ted Lasso* on 5 August 2026, shifting the series to follow Ted as head coach of the Lady Greyhounds, the inaugural women’s professional soccer team for AFC Richmond in England’s second division. The season retains lead actor and co-creator Jason Sudeikis, along with core cast members Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift. New cast additions include Tanya Reynolds as assistant coach Alice Chilton.

Sudeikis revealed he initially declined a $1 million per episode salary to return, fearing he would “uproot” the character, but changed his mind after hearing from fans. While the original AFC Richmond men’s squad is absent, Apple TV+ programming head Matt Cherniss indicated that Sudeikis is “looking to jump into the next season soon,” signaling that a fifth season is in development. This sentiment was echoed by Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue, who stated there are “plenty of stories to go on” and that the show is “good enough” for a renewal. During a red carpet appearance, Cue further reassured viewers, saying, “We will be with it, don't worry.”

Speculation regarding the show's longevity is bolstered by reports that key cast members may have signed new contracts covering three seasons, aligning with rumors of a new three-series story arc envisioned by Sudeikis. Episodes for the fourth season are scheduled for weekly release through 7 October 2026. Critical reception has been mixed; while some viewers celebrate the return of the characters, critics have noted a shift in tone regarding the handling of social themes and women's sports. Recent reviews have highlighted themes of reconciliation and ego, but some critics have noted a decline in the development of key female characters, such as Rebecca and Keeley.
