According to Deadline (who were the first media outlet to report on the return), Warner Bros. have picked up the options on Hannah Waddingham (Rebecca Walton), Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) and Jeremy Swift (Leslie Higgins) — all actors contracted under the aegis of the UK acting union Equity. After completing their return, the studio will begin working on the remaining Ted Lasso cast with SAG-AFTRA contracts whose options had expired, including Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso) and Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard).
It's uncertain who has or will be approached for a Season 4 appearance, but reports suggest that a writer's room is starting to come together. However, much of the show's future hinges on Sudeikis' involvement.
The Ted Lasso series has already earned 13 Emmys, which quickly became Apple+'s flagship and most-watched original show following its release in August 2020.
When will Ted Lasso new Season 4 release?
Ted Lasso’s return could be on its way, but it’s not coming any time soon folks.
It is unclear when the new Ted Lasso season will release, as the the show’s ‘revival’ is still to be officially announced by the studio.
However, considering the possible timeline of getting the original cast and writers back on board, the show is eyeing to begin filming early 2025.
This could see Apple TV+ release new episodes of Season 4 at the end of 2025, or the beginning of 2026.
We know it’ll be worth the wait.
