Apple TV+ is currently airing Severance season 2, one of its biggest mainstream hits ever. Meanwhile, the one TV+ show that outdid it in cultural influenceTed Lassois currently preparing a new season. Heres everything we know about Ted Lasso season 4.Official, but not yet officialFirst things first: Apple TV+ has not yet officially announced the return of Ted Lasso.That said, there has been abundant evidence that the show is definitely making a return for season 4. From teases by execs, series stars, and the co-creator Bill Lawrence, to cast contract renewals, production being officially scheduled, and more.So if you ask anyone at Apple, they wont confirm Ted Lassos return yet. But a new season is absolutely on the way.Returning season 4 cast membersPer early reports, the vast majority of the Ted Lasso cast is expected to return for season 4. Which is great news, since the shows ensemble is one of its greatest strengths.One possible exception is Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt. Dunster reportedly has run into scheduling issues in trying to join the new season, though guest appearances arent out of the question.Jason Sudeikis may have a reduced roleThe man behind the mustache, Jason Sudeikis, may not have as big a presence in Ted Lassos new season.Matt Belloni on his podcast The Town said that, based on what hes heard, Sudeikis wont be present for the entirety of the new season. There will be many, many returning cast members. But Sudeikis will be minimized on the show.Overall it definitely sounds like well see plenty of Ted, just perhaps not as much as before. This wouldnt altogether be surprising, as Lasso already stepped back a little in season 3 as the strong ensemble was given more time to shine.Season 4 will feature AFC Richmonds first womens teamAccording to a report from Sigmund Judge, one major narrative thread of the new season will be the formation of AFC Richmonds womens team.It sounds like the mens team will still be a huge part of the show, but Richmond will also seek to expand its offerings by adding a womens team for the first time.When to expect season 4 on Apple TV+Originally, production on Ted Lasso season 4 was expected to kick off early this year. That didnt end up happening, and now the latest reporting pegs a production start in the spring.That said, there are still a lot of unknowns that make it difficult to pin down a tentative Apple TV+ debut date.Its looking unlikely that new Lasso episodes will arrive in 2025. However, assuming they do slip out of this year, season 4 should at least arrive some time in 2026.Apple TV+ isavailable for $9.99 per monthand features hit TV shows and movies likeTed Lasso,Severance,The Morning Show,Silo, andShrinking.Best Ted Lasso and Apple TV buysAdd 9to5Mac to your Google News feed.
