'Ted Lasso' is Returning to Apple TV, Here's When

Apple today announced that its hit comedy-drama series "Ted Lasso" is returning for a fourth season in "summer 2026," but it did not share a specific date.

Ted Lasso
"Ted Lasso" is one of the most popular shows ever released on the Apple TV streaming service. The eponymous character Ted Lasso, played by Jason Sudeikis, starts off as a small-time football coach from Kansas who is hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer.

In the fourth season, Apple says Lasso returns to England to take on his biggest challenge yet: coaching a second division women's soccer team.

"Throughout the course of the season, Ted and the team learn to leap before they look, taking chances they never thought they would," said Apple.


The fourth season is currently in production, according to Apple, and fan favorites such as Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, and Jeremy Swift are all set to return in the upcoming episodes.

The third season of "Ted Lasso" was released in 2023, so there has been a long wait for a fourth season. The series has won several major awards since it debuted in 2020, with its overall positive tone making it a popular comfort show.

For the love of all that is good a right - NO! Season 3 ended on a high note. All loose ends tied up. All character arcs closed. What can they possibly do in season 4 that will make it interesting to watch?

Ted Lasso gives me Mr. Beast vibes when I look at his face. Don't think I'll be watching it.

Season 1 was awesome.
The show jumped the shark early in season 2.
Season 3 was terrible.
Season 4 could be OK if they start fresh, but I wouldn't count on it.

I had Apple TV from pretty much their first days in operation (got a free year of it with a computer I bought, and then Apple extended that free subscription another 6 months or so). I always felt like they were short on programming that really interested me, though I found several great shows to watch. Severance was probably my favorite.

I avoided Ted Lasso because I'm not a sports person at all, and just didn't see how I'd care about a sports comedy that involved a guy coaching British soccer.

I finally gave the show a chance near the end of last year, when we were just bored and looking for something different to watch. And wow! I was really impressed with it. It wasn't flawless but lots of great moments of humor sprinkled into a story arc that made you really care about the characters and watch them evolve/grow as individuals.

When we got through the final episode, I was happy they wrapped it up nicely like they did -- but I guess I also sensed it was inevitable they'd do another season. Just too well done and successful a series to not go back to it....

Seems difficult to grasp how it can have another season though, and not just feel like they're re-hashing what they already did? As the previous poster said; I think I'd be more interested if this picked up back in America. Make it a story about Ted's life after doing the soccer coaching stint in the U.K. Even then, Ted Lasso is a guy who learned a lot about himself, while trying to concern himself with everyone else's problems. He's no longer the guy who deflects from his own issues. That makes it tough to watch more content about him. We already watched that whole personal change unfold.

And for that reason, I'm out. This sounds terrible.

Not sure this is a good idea, but hey, let the performers perform and the crowd will either cheer or boo.
